On November 14, 2003, The Legends 'Last LP' Dropped, And Made It His Most Personal And Perhaps Best LP To Date. The Black Album Gives Us A Look Into The Life Of A Young Sean Carter (December 4th), A Gripping, Amazing, Instant Classic In 'Threat', And Still Delivers Us A Certified Club Hit In 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder'.

[Track By Track Review]

1. Interlude - FUCK INTROS UNLESS THEY HAVE RAP ON THEM
2. December 4th - God Damn, An Amazing Track . . .J-Hov Gives Us An In Depth Look At Childhood Jay. . .Very Well Crafted And Written
3. What More Can I Say - Dope Beat. . .Jay Gives It To His Haters [No Lil Boosie] And Delivers Some Dope Lyrics. . .Great Track
4. Encore - Didnt Really Like This. . .Good Lyrics. . .Just Wasnt Feelin It
5. Change Clothes - Pharell = Homo. . .Decent Club Track I Guess
6. Dirt Off Your Shoulder - HOT TRACK. . Sick Lyrics. . .Crazy Beat. . .Shit Is Off The Chizzain. . .Lawl
7. Threat - Just All Around Amazing. . .Real Talk + Dope Lyrics + Good Beat. . Standout Track Of The Album
8. Moment Of Clarity - SICK. . .Great Beat.. .Dope Lyrics. . .Just Sick
9. 99 Problems - Good Energy. . .Sick Hook. . .Wasnt Really Feelin It Tho
10. Public Service Announcement - DOPENESS. . .Lyrics Are Ridiculous. . .Too Bad It Wasnt Longer. . .[No D4L]
11. Justify My Thug - Meh. . Sorta Filler. . .Good Lyrics Though
12. Lucifer - KANYE U DID IT AGAIN. . .CLASSIC BEAT + LYRICS. . Fucking Ill Song
13. Allure - Meh. . .See Track 12
14. My 1st Song - ^^

Maybe Its Just His Famous Fat Lips (As Pointed Out By Nas On 'Ether'), But On The Cover Of 'The Black Album', Sean Carter (aka Jay-Z) Unfortunatly Seems To Be Blowing A Goodbye Kiss To The Rap Game. . .

Overall Grade = A-. . .
