REVIEW
There are plenty of reviews out now for Jay-Z’s American Gangster that speak on his history, lyrical abilities, production choice, and five-city tour, so I won’t waste your time. I will tell you this…This album is Hip Hop Holiday shopping at its best. Go cop it. Besides having a new album on deck, Nas has dropped a Greatest Hits Album (Columbia) with all the joints from “Illmatic” to “Streets Disciple.” Also out are Playaz Circle Supply & Demand (DTP/Def Jam), Cassidy B.A.R.S. (Full Surface), Hurricane Chris 5150 Ratchet (Collipark), Chris Brown Exclusive (Jive), Alicia Keys I AM ME (J Records)- with the banging single “NO ONE,” BowWow & Omarion (Columbia), and The NYG’z…Executive Produced by DJ Premier (Year Round). Be on the lookout.
