i never liked jay-z at all, during all my years being a rap fan. i bought one jay-z album, for two reason. it was on sale and it was the pure black (black album) one that i was looking for. listened to it once, didnt like it, except the track dj quik produced. buuuuttt, im curious to see what jay-z is going to bring to the table in todays music with all these simple beats goin nationwide.
