%) VISIT AMAZON.COM'S PAGE | Editorial Reviews : Do you want in on hip-hop's dirty little secret? Well, not even rap's greatest icons have been able to pull of a memorable, fast-forward-free double disc--2Pac's All Eyez on Me and Wu-Tang Clan's Wu-Tang Forever included. On this follow-up to part one, Jay teams up with Destiny's Child's Beyoncé on '03 Bonnie & Clyde,' a so-so remake of 2Pac's 'Me and My Girlfriend.' The Dr. Dre-produced remix to 'The Watcher,' featuring Rakim, reveals that, in addition to expanding his audience, Jay is interested in appealing to his tried-and-tested demographic--East Coast hardrocks. He rounds out the first disc with 'I Did It My Way,' sampling Paul Anka's version of 'My Way' and equating his Rap Pack (Kareem Burke, Dame Dash) to the Rat Pack of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Don't laugh. The stronger second disc contains some pleasant surprises. The Lenny Kravitz-fuelled braggadocio of 'Guns and Roses' titillates, while Jay's Jeru the Damaja-like 'Bitches and Sisters' is sure to stir up accusations of misogyny. In the end, not even Jay can tear through 11 hot tracks, much less 25.
Buyer Reviews : This album is one of his best albums up to date. I reccommend that all hip hop heads grab this classical double disc. Jay made history with this album , it is one of the greatest 2 disc records ever dropped. Almost every song is a hit. Hov can not be stopped , still going another year. I think he will do big things with this record. It is definitely the best album dropped this year 2002 period. Album speaks for it's, Hova is the king , no buts about it.
