This song starts with a sample from the Movie “Gladiator” followed by 3 verses in which Jay Z explains himself and touches on some things that have been said about him. What more can I say (Produced by the Buchanans)

Just Blaze did a good job with the beat too which makes this a very good song, tight way to start the album off. The concept works very well to me and Hova comes quite nice with his lyrics. The special thing about this track is that Jay Z’s mother talks about her son on the intro to every verse and he works her words in his lyrics. No ratingĭecember 4th is the first actual song on this album, Jigga talks about himself growing up and his life before entering the music business. It does indeed sound dope… but I really waited for another The Ruler´s Back (Blueprint Intro). Sounds like something Common would have done for one of his albums. This Intro is very unusual for a Jay Z album, unlike most of the time Jigga doesn´t drop a verse, it’s just a kinda strange beat played over a long sample from a movie.

On this album he comes with no guest spots and a good mixture of Hip Hop`s star-producers as well as some refreshing newcomers on the beat. 14th of November all this comes to an end, that’s the date Jiggas 9th and last Album The Black Album drops. All the way through his 7 years long career he has set various trends, released a lot of hit singles and flooded the market with 8 solo Albums (not counting his Best of both worlds project with R.Kelly). Jay Z is without a doubt one of HipHop´s greatest.
