Editorial Reviews:

Separate from the official motion picture soundtrack, this collection of all-new original material is a musical journey and lyrical interpretation of snapshots from the upcoming motion picture American Gangster. The conceptual, full body of genius work from the new album balances the line between pure entertainment and real life. JAY-Z draws upon past experiences, speaking to the harsh reality of the drug trade still taking place in our nation's cities. While not glorifying the Frank Lucas story, JAY-Z articulates the lure of a gangster's life and stands as an example of one who chose to leave those streets behind to go on and become one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Jay True to his Roots
Comment: While Kingdom come was more of an abomination than an ablum to bow out from , Jay makes a remarkable comeback with American Gangster. With every title track incorporating a mix of jazz, hip-hop and R&B, Jay lies down the groundwork for being an "American Hustler". While his drug dealing days have long been over, Hova remarkably retells the tales of lies, sex, perception, and paying the ultimate price. Jay-Z comes off realistic as well as optimistic to being the "good guy" and the "bad guy".
