"American Gangster" has become a brilliant album and Jay-Z again shows what he can do. He still has this indescribable flow plan and except with the help of Lil Wayne, Beanie Sigel, Nas and Pharrell Williams he pulls this time his thing alone by. The album is really profound and become a masterpiece. If you could look at a couple of the producers you'd think the songs have gone toward pop: P.Diddy, The Neptunes, Jermaine Dupri. But that's true no way! The beats sound so namely by road and old school that they all are simply a listening pleasure. :) Many find it ridiculous that Jay-Z still time rausbringt an album, but as long as he brings those albums to the man who can it !;) who make the still as many times as he wants the producers, with P.Diddy, LV, Sean C, Idris Elba, Chris Flame, Mario Winans, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, DJ Toomp, Jermaine Dupri and NO ID done a great job. The best songs are the "Intro" (genius Beat), "American Dreamin '" (beautiful Hook and Jigga in top form), "I know" (good beat of The Neptunes), "Ignorant Shit" featuring Beanie Sigel (Jigga, Sigel and Just Blaze, Hammer Combo ... hats off!), "Say Hello" (a chill song, produced by DJ Toomp, gorgeous!), "Fallin '" (the best beat to Jermaine Dupri has ever produced and Jay- Z goes right off. "Ya know this is, So So Def!") and "Blue Magic" featuring Pharrel Williams (first Singelauskopplung, you should indeed be known, with a good beat of The Neptunes). However, on this album as well as the worst song because I've ever heard! "Hello Brooklyn 2.0" featuring Lil Wayne has a horrible beat, a poor flow of Lil Wayne and a not so good Jay-Z. But anyway, the album is good. Conclusion: If you like Jay-Z and deep rap, the album should buy.
