The Gift The Curse - The Shit Gets Worse

They were expecting much and was disappointed! After "The Blueprint" of course it is difficult to produce an album that can build on the success. This is Jay-Z managed by the successor in any way. The double CD expresses more or less only the commercial ulterior motives of the ROC-A-FELLA empire. Especially this is evident because producers like "The Neptunes" were involved, which are currently producing or remixing everything and are represented with about 4-5 tracks in the charts. Dr Dre also has contributed to the album.
Tracks like "I Did It My Way" (originally by Mr Sinatra) are completely unsuccessful. And "U Do not Know" with MOP, unfortunately, is also just a bad "Ante Up" successor.
Although the Tupac successor "03 Bonnie & Clyde" with Beyonce Knowles is not MissLungen, but since you by Jay-Z have expected something innovative, not met this track also by far the expectations placed on him.
The second current single "Hovi Baby" just only supports the production of Bayer AG aspirin. Something else I can not remember a single release on this.
For me one of the very few highlights of the album, the collabo with Big Boi, Killer Mike and Twista on "Poppin Tags".
The next disappointment of the album, however, is the track "Excuse Me Miss" where simply an almost identical rap from State Property Soundtrack used. Mass treatment ?!
Tracks like "What They Gonna Do" with Sean Paul, who is currently doing his dancehall hit "Gimme The Light" attention to themselves, only serve as a "music Fillers" and to ride the wave of success.
People who prefer Lenny Kravitz, should not even give the nakedness and heard in the track "Guns & Roses" into it, but instead focus on the acute elle Album of the Stars. Because the small excursion to the "hip-hop world" bears does not guarantee to the fact that Mr Kravitz gets more sympathizers.
In order to produce a double-CD album, you should have plenty of influences that you unfortunately can not collect in such a short time. Therefore, the creators is to bring out an album of the label Leitwolf more anxious for the holiday shopping season, which, however, to live up to expectations remains. Although Jay-Z has this time many "features" on his album, but as the saying goes "a good artist does not need to feature an album to produce."
