This Album is argubly Jay Z's best. I remember when it around this time out this about time in 96' and it turn out to the sleeper hit album of the year. I remember thinking "not another Big willie drug kingpin rapper" but Jay was different. When he said " I dabbled in crazy weigh/without rapper I was crazy straight/ I'm still spending money from 88" I believe him. Then I realized I 've him somewhere before. Dude had been around for years. Anyway this album age better than its competition at the time and is a summertime classic.
