A Dream - A great track, one of the best 5/5
Hovi Baby - kinda wierd, but still awesome 4/5
The Watcher 2 - not jay-z's best 3/5
'03 Bonnie & Clyde - cool 4/5
Excuse Me Miss - one of the best 5/5
All Around The World - AWESOME!!! 5/5
Guns & Roses - nice real nice 5/5
U Don't Know Remix - good 4/5
Meet the Parents - awesome beat 4/5
Some How Some Way - good 4/5
The Bounce - my favorite on the album 5/5
What Are They Gonna Do Part II - second best, the never-ending song.... 5/5
overall: good, just could be better
This album is sick! It has a lot or the best Blueprint 2:the Gift & the Curse tracks on it. Those "bouns" tracks on the CD are really hard to get after you buy it. They should have put songs like "Big Pimpin'" or "Izzo" on it and make a hits CD before the Black Album (that albums awsome!).
One of the best tracks is an un-famous song called "The Bounce (ft. Kanye West)" it is tottaly a party hit. "03 Bonnie & Clyde (ft. Beyonce)" gets old every once in a while, but "Excuse Me Miss" is a good replacement. All the other tracks are nice, cool, and fresh, without a doubt!
Overall, this CD rules! If you manage to get the "bouns" tracks you'll be very happy with it. Only true Jay-Z fans will like this one. It won't be a wste of money!
