Jay-Z - The Black Album [2003]
December 4th - This is an incredible track, Jay has his mother Gloria Carter on it describing how when she gave birth to Jay, he didn’t give her any pain. This track is very personal. Jay talks about how after his mother and father broke up, that’s when his life took a turn. He took to the streets. Ms. Carter talks about how Jay used to beat on the kitchen table and rhyme, then she bought him a boombox to keep him out of trouble. This track goes pretty deep, most other rapper never get this personal on a track. Just Blaze does the production by the way.
What More Can I Say - A dope beat by the Buchanans. I love this whole track. Jay talks about how after all the great stuff he’s done in hip-hop, there’s still a lot of people who don’t give him the credit he deserves. When you hear this song I guarantee you’ll love it. The way it ends is great after the beat stops Jay says “The real * you get when you break down my lines/add that with the fact I went plat a bunch of times/times that my influence on pop culture, I’m supposed to be number one on everybody list/we’ll see what happens when I no longer exist”
