Following the surprise announcement of Jay-Z’s forthcoming ‘American Gangster’ LP earlier this week, the CD’s lead single has surfaced. Though not a bad track, Jay will have to do better than this if he is to convince people the project is worthwhile. Put simply, the Def Jam president has fared much better on other tracks – in terms of his delivery. What’s more Pharrell’s efforts on the production side of things come across kinda weak. I’m starting to think Jay would have been better off retired (for real); his ‘out-of retirement’ LP ‘Kingdom Come’ didn’t live up to expectations and this new track doesn’t indicate his new material will be anything to rave about.Hit or Miss?

this ish is wack as hell. Jay needs to go and retire and forget about making this big comeback (2.0). He’s only looking to mess with his legacy by releasing crao like this
I actually like Jay’s song. It has an 80’s feel to it. I love the echo on his voice. It’s HOTT.
F*** Jay-Z, he’s old and tird and everything he’s come out with has sucked… he’s supposed to be retired! he has to copy off of a stupid cheesy movie
Okay, The last cd I forgave him for it, but what in the hell is this. I understand he has other business to run, but come back with your A-Game J. This isn’t good. Not the jay-z I love playing. This won’t get played by me.
HOW OLD ARE U FOOL THAT ARE LEAVING COMMENTS? Jay Z is old? your mother is old. some of u wer born in the late 80’s or early 90’s because u have no clue about HIPHOP. That some old school REAL HIPHOP 87 FLOW that u young shits know nothing about.
