This is a classic. Bought it the first week it was out!
Awesome bass tone on the opener. And it continues into the next track! I thought H to the Izzo was a meme, turns out it's actually a song! I take it Jigga is a Jay-Z thing? So is Jay-Z upset that he was fucking around behind this woman's back, and now she's angry, but it's not his fault honest, he was just fucking them, no big deal? Cool bass is back! 'Renegade' is excellent. Hmm, I think it started off very well, then kind of lost my attention through the middle of the record, then the song with Eminem was superb and then it ended. 3 / 5 stars.
Hov's most acclaimed album, and for good reason (though Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album & American Gangster give it some tough competition) favs: "Renegade", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", "Blueprint (Mama Loves Me)", "Song Cry", "Takeover", "All I Need" least fav: "Jigga"
One of my favorite MCs. Reasonable Doubt and this one are easily his best. Just the way he laughs in the beat to the first track shows his skill.
