Vol. 2, Hard Knock Life by Jay-Z
Jay-Z Goes Hard!
Only an artist of Jay-Zs 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-Zs 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 Its Like That could be safely cut without incident), Shawn Carter has nonetheless reclaimed his mantle as raps leading don. -Jon Caramanica
Personal Review: Vol. 2, Hard Knock Life by Jay-Z
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!!!
