There are artists who can do almost any suffering, because each of their plates is compared with the outstanding debut and then rated by critics as not competitive. That's what happened when celebrities like Nas, Snoop Doggy Dogg, DMX or indeed Jay-Z. I must admit, I am also one of the sharpest critics of jiggas. The reason is that Hova lay a good first album so that one's heart beat faster with every song. "Reasonable Doubt" was released in 1996, but sounds at least 2 years older. The reason is that in almost every track a bunch of radio-elements has been installed, which were at that time in New York is no longer common, but in 1994 their last customers found. Already the first song "Can not Knock The Hustle" with Mary J. Blige just bursting to of relaxed grooves that tempt one to unwavering nod. How it works with just about every other song on. "Politics As Usual" is just a hammer. The instrumental is a brilliant mix of a relaxed beat and funky instruments, coupled with incredibly good and casual jiggas Flow - wow! Another masterpiece is, of course, "Brooklyn's Finest" together with New York's former No ° 1: The Notorious BIG, which was produced by Clark Kent, who also stood with two other track at the controls. As usual, a dripping almost before radio instrumental, to the divine rape of Biggie Smalls and Iceberg Slim. There is nothing better. Each of the claims to HipHop must listen to this track just know. "Dead Presidents 2" must be necessarily mentioned. This is due to the sampled in the chorus part of "The World Is Yours", a song of the masterpiece "Illmatic" by Jay-Z's later nemesis Nas, contains. One of the stories that the only HipHop writes. Even with the more serious "D'Evils" Premier was vigorously sampled by producer DJ. However, this time was not the Rhymes of Nas, but the use of Snoop Doggy Dogg. Considering the tense situation at the time of the East and West Coast, which was more than respectable. In other songs I want to no longer enter into large, since they, as already stated, almost all are more than awesome. Whether seriously or rather chillig Fröhlig, everything is part of it, everything is fun to listen to. There are East Coast radio without end and class rapper, of which one must single out especially Memphis Bleek, of his best performance to date delivers on "Coming Of Age", but also J-Hova raps tip. Not only for Jay-Z fans is "Reasonable Doubt" is a must, also for all others who are in rap. This album is one of the largest in the Rapgeschichte and belongs in a category with masterpieces like "Ov Da Poor & Lifestylez As Dangerous", "The Chronic", "The Predator" or "Doggy Style".
