“American Gangster” Getting Good Reviews

by Jyle on November 6th, 2007

american gangsterJay-Z’s newest album “American Gangster” has been getting great reviews everywhere. I was very impressed with his performance on The Late Show the other night. Being a fellow trumpet player I loved the combination. The album is due in stores this week so don’t miss it.

Anyway go ahead and read this review by Glenn Gamboa from Newsday.

Jay-Z has never suffered from a lack of ambition, but what he takes on for his new album “American Gangster” (Roc-a-Fella) is a lot, even for him. Not only does he set out to build a concept album that can stand next to the Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe movie that he clearly admires, he wants to raise hip-hop’s standards, while also fighting those who twisted the racist comments of Don Imus into an indictment of hip-hop. more
