You know how these things go... first the "OMGZ GOAT ALBUM EVERZ", then "OLD MAN JIGGA DONE" and everything in between is breaking down themetaphors & double entendres.

or it *SHOULD*... because on second thought, Kanye might be a big enough name for folks to want his instant co-sign regardless of his actual input
but I can't even say anything about this album cuz I ain't get it yet or even bother with those Timbo leaks that have been thrown in the mud
I will say that the 3 red lines logo is ill

Okay, a lot of songs on here are hit or miss. IDK what they were thinking with some of these beats. The timbo joints looking a lot stronger compared to therest of the album. Give it a couple more listens but this cd is all over the place. No direction.

ain't none of the timbo beats wack on their own, but its overkill for a blueprint. 1, maybe 2. It does sound better within the flow of the album.
then again, im only speaking from my expectations of the bp series.
My overall opinion after a few spins..."at least its better than KC"
I just think musically, Jay had found his "old man" niche on American Gangster. That's my main letdown.

I'm probably going to play the devil's advocate here, but he should have just gotten No I.D. to produce the whole album. I hate the Young Jeezy featureand the wack Timbo and Swizz beats.
