Jay-Z - American Gangster [2007]

May 13, 2008 · Filed Under Hip-Hop · Comment 

"Y’all n*ggas got me really confused out there. I make ‘Big Pimpin’ or ‘Give It to Me,’ one of those — that had me as the greatest writer of the 21st century. I make some thought-provoking sh*t — y’all question whether he fallin’ off." When you’ve built up a back catalog of eight studio albums and walk the earth as one of the biggest, most high-profile artists of the ’90s and 2000s, you’re bound to get some mixed signals from those who pay attention to you.
