Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Only an artist of Jay-Z's stature could have survived the indignity of In My Lifetime, Vol. 1, his stunningly poor second LP, and remain standing as one of the premier lyricists of his generation. Like Biggie did on Life After Death, Jay-Z diversifies his style here--with the Timbaland-laced "Nigga What, Nigga Who" and the dialogue "Coming of Age" (which revisits the young hustler from Jay-Z's first LP, Reasonable Doubt)--demonstrating that even when experimenting with flow, he can still crush his peers. Though the album falters notably at the end (the lazy funk of "Paper Chase," "Reservoir Dogs," and "It's Like That" could be safely cut without incident), Shawn Carter has nonetheless reclaimed his mantle as rap's leading don. --Jon Caramanica

Yes, What A Great Album
1998 was a good year for Jay-z because he released his best song of his career "Hard Knock Life" The album is very good, I cant name not one bad song. My favorite two joints are Hard Knock Life and Reservoir Dogs. Top 5 songs Hard Knock Life, Reservoir Dogs, Money Cash Hoes, Can I Get A..., and Money Ain't A Thang
The Best Jay Z Ever Did !
To me this was the Best he ever did .
I can put this album on and sing the entire thing.
It stands the test of time over all his other music
This was Jay-Z's CHRONIC MomentThe Chronic

Most overrated rapper of all time!This album is wack!All the beats are simple and the lyrics are boring.All he raps about is money,cash,hoes,cars,and how tough or great he is.That Hard knock life song was garbage!Joe camel gets worst and worst as time goes on.Save your money and don't by this garbage!
If you want a piece of history buy this cd
This cd is an all-time great! Jay Z was on top of his game and this is some of his best work. I have this Cd in my car as we speak and i dont plan on ever taking it out. The hits that came from this cd like Hard Knocked life just for starters.. this Cd is one of my favorites of all time and i think it is some of the best rap lyrics also. I put the cd on and let it play through from the beginning. BUY THIS CD!!!
Jay-Z goes Hard!
This CD is Jay-Z's hardest CD to date. He has awesome collaborations with the Roc-A-Fella camp and his most successful tour (Hard Knock Life Tour)featured music from this CD. If you do not have this CD, go cop it immediately!
