The Dynasty [Explicit] Reviews
roster, A hot track with 'Face.AND.the intro of Freeway.
BOTTOM LINE:.
'Guilty.Innocent' was a taste of what SHOULD HAVE been with Kels'.but oh well.
Not 1, not 2, but THREE monster singles (Change the Game, Give it to Me, This Cant be Life), some nice guesting from the R.O.C.
:-).
What more can we ask for.
One of Jiggas' best.
Filled with lyrical fire and blazing production.
It ended up working for Beanie Sigel, he has enjoyed much success since the release of this albums. It was more-so to give Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek more publicity because there albums sales were suffering. One of my favorite Jay-z albums. On the other hand Memphis Bleek is still suffering. This is a must have album for every collection weather you're a Jay-z, Memph Bleek, or Sigel fan. This is a great album.
Squeeze First is a classic example of beatwasting as Jay-z spits lukewarm verses of a hard beat. This comp is not without its flaws. The R.O.C which features Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel is a commercial blunder and Jay-z's solo track, Soon You'll Understand is annoying to say the least. Although I love the song, I still dont like the 2 minutes of vinyl static that comes after the song fades out. Streets Is Talking which features Beanie Sigel is another track where Jigga killed it and Beanie's verse was crazy too.
Both Jay-z and Beanie rip the track Stick 2 The Script to shreds and Guilty Until Proven Innocent which features R. Bottom Line: Roc La Familia is one of the better rap compilations even though it has its suspect moments. Parking Lot Pimpin is boring and so is 1-900-Hustler. Scarface joins Jay-z and Beanie on the heartfelt This Cant Be Life. Let me start off by saying that the Intro is vintage Jay-z but its not the only track where Jigga goes off on.
Memphis Bleek does pretty well on his solo joint Holla and Where Have You Been is one of the best songs on here as Jay-z and Beanie talk about their deadbeat fathers on the track. Standout Tracks: INTRO, CHANGE THE GAME, STREETS IS TALKING, THIS CANT BE LIFE, GET YOUR MIND RIGHT MAMI, STICK 2 THE SCRIPT, YOU, ME HIM, HER, GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, HOLLA and WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. Kelly is Jay-z's finest moment on the mic.
. That's why I eat, sleep, sh%t with my gat. This Can't Be Life (Deep Scarface & Jay Joint). The joints on here are classic. The Roc came into 2000 on roll having just dropped Vol 3 in 99.
Bump what you heard - Dynasty was the joint. 1-900-Hustler (Roc & State Property get their roll on). Top Joints:. I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) (CLassic). Jay would later plead guilty).
Change The Game (Classic) . Guilty Until Proven Innocent (Classic Kells & Jay joint. Parking Lot Pimpin' (Classic). Holla (Memph Bleek rips: Number One Rule: Never get caught Slippin. You, Me, Him And Her (ROC Joint). Get up, Take a piss, f*ck a b*tch with my gat).
Great performance from Jay & BSeigel). Where Have You Been (Joint for all of the fatherless boys out there that grew to be men, like myself.
End of review. The intro is tight, the rest just sucks.
