Vol. 3... Life And Times Of S. Carter [Explicit] Reviews

Please sit down and listen to the flow again if u had any doubts the first time. Come on dawg.nuff said.

"Go against Jigga yo a__ is dense, I'mma bout a dolla what the f___k is 50 cents". Not his best cd (Reasonable Doubt), but if ya wanna recognize lyrics then this is it.

As far as goin hard on an album, this might be tops. "Hova's like Noah keep two in the truck/I'm like U-Haul/ every b___h movin i f___k".

Jay is spittin so hard on these tracks and ya trippin like he aint got flow. He also came hard (no homo) on American Gangster.

"38 revolve like the sun round the earth/ try to play hard get you found round the dirt/ 6 shell casings found round ya shirt/ and surround sound from the hurst".

Overall a 'good' album far from great. This was a good album. I was a big fan of the song he did with Juvenile on this album.

Dope Man . So Ghetto . Hova Song (intro) . S. Could have been a classic if he had taken out 4 songs. There's Been A Murder (Tight).

His album cuts are tighter than the majority of other rapper's singles. Jay's streak continued with Vol 3. It's Hot (Some Like It Hot) (A little heat for 50) .

Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up) . He has some of the most potent album cuts ever. .

Top Joints:. Carter (featuring Amil). Snoopy Track (featuring Juvenile) (Should have been a single) .

Big Pimpin' (featuring UGK) Classic. Come And Get Me (Shots to give).

I dont know who the heck Amil is but she generally sounds good on the album and I think that having Big Pimpin plus 2 good, hidden tracks is icing on this cake. Anyone who liked volume II has to buy this album. I actually liked his duo with DRE and think it was a pretty good rhyme although "Things That You Do" f/ Mariah falls flat pretty quickly. There are a couple of club type songs, flow type songs, serious songs and etc. Although admittedly a few songs fall flat, this is still a superb record. How could you not buy this album for $10 if you love raps glory days from the late 90s/early00. think this was one of the best rap albums released back when rap was actually good aka pre 2002. I really.

The production saves this from being a complete failure in my opinion. In 1999, Jay-Z was possibly enjoying the mainstream status of his career, to the point that he has been lacking on the microphone. The first single "Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up)" was probably a club banger back in late '99/early 2000 with the help of Beanie Sigel. I'm reading some of the recent reviews and most of them are 5 star reviews. Awkward moments are on this album like Dr. Guest Appearances: C.

"Snoop Track" featuring Juvenile is one of those tracks that carries a good beat. If you want to hear more Jay-Z or you have never bought this album and are curious, I recommend this to you. Lyrics: D+. As I said before Jay-Z is capable of doing much better. The bonus tracks "Jigga My N****" appeared on the Ruff Ryders first comp album and "Girls Best Friend" appeared on the Blue Streak Sndtrk. Mostly the production on this CD saves it from being a failure. His rhymes seemed to be slapped together, as shown in the second track "So Ghetto" with rhymes like "Jigga man, Volume 3/I'm back looking like me/stop the presses/ladies drop your dresses." Some tracks just fall flat on the ground like the Mariah Carey assisted "Things That You Do", and and the weak hook on "S. "Come And Get Me" could have been shortened and condenced to three verses, since I've ever heard Jigga do a solo song lasting longer than 4 and a half minutes.

"It's Hot (Some Like It Hot)" Jay turns to his lyrical side and it works somewhat on the better side on this track with rhymes like "I'm about a dollar, what the f*** is 50 Cents" (a response to 50's "How To Rob"). I wonder if they ever sat down and listened to the album or are they aware if Jay-Z is capable of much more. Luckly Jigga stepped his rhymes back up on future albums. Amil, Beanie Sigel, and Memphis Bleek colab with Jay for "Pop 4 Roc" and that fails causing me to loose my attention towards it. Anyway Jay-Z's fourth album Vol.3: Life And Times Of Shawn Carter is a semi-decent album at best. Musical Vibes: C-. He hasn't improved since Vol.2: Hard Knock Life.

Otherwise pick up other Jigga albums. A couple of bonus songs that are better than the ones on the album. UGK hooks up with Jay on the hit single "Big Pimpin" that is one of the standout tracks (If you remember when it was on the radio/television, Jay had an extra verse, that is not on the album). Favorite Tracks: Do It Again (Put Yo Hands Up), It's Hot (Some Like It Hot), Snoopy Track, Big Pimpin', Jigga My N****, Girls Best Friend

Now there are some good songs on this album though. Production: B-. Dre appearing on the song "Watch Me" as Jigga doesn't shine lyrically on the track. Many Jigga fans want to hear the same man that was on Reasonable Doubt, and this album is far from what that is.
