J-MANMay 4, 2007Rap album of the year! Not the Black Album, but definitely tighter than ANYTHING else ANYONE else is doing in hip hop. Great Album.

Ek-oDNov 22, 2006He has alot of wack beats on this album. I don't understand how he can goto "Blueprint" beats, to settling for the junk beats on this album.

lizziesNov 23, 2006HOVA has done it again, with a more mature, adult, feel. I agree with some of the critics, but honestly he does carry a strong message, including a powerful song about hurricane katrina.

JimmyNov 15, 2006While the album is great, it's not the classic that I hoped to hear...three songs i didn't like total, but overall i still jam the majority of the album..Welcome back Jay...

TiffanyPDec 6, 2006I thought this was a great album. From beginning to end I love it. I a song just has to have a great beat then I reccommend that you listen to Lil Jon all day. He music is not always about the beat you have to listen to the words, which is what most people don't do.

NikaODec 6, 2006I really enjoyed Jay's new album. It shows how much he has grown and matured. I like the fact how he brought back the past when he used to be like those "young thugs" in the streets, but he is on a whole other level, doing big things. People need to respect that and stop hating becase he's not reapping about sex, money, and drugs!!

MusicLoverOct 21, 2007Jay-Z definitely gets a little more experimental on this album. He's got those casino-type beats & a cool collaboration with Chris Martin. Lyrically, he ranges from topics like Hurricane Katrina & his nephew to Hollywood & getting older. This album really brings Jay-Z back into the game after his "retirement". I don't know if American Gangster will be this good, but I hope so.

ZackDNov 22, 2006It isn't Reasonable Doubt or Blueprint but who really expected that anyway. What it is though is a good CD especially given today's current state of Hip Hop. The four Dr.Dre produced tracks are highlights. Dre and Hova? For that alone it's worth the $10.

305DadeAug 11, 2007This album was ahead of his time. I agree that he didn't use much energy but the overall skill on this album was amazing. I was tired of everyone sounding the same. This album wasn't all about drugs, snapping fingers, and/or being gangsta. It was what we needed.

StephenP.Dec 17, 2006Great return for Jigga. Beach Chair is one of the best songs of 2006.

Aug 22, 2011When i first heard the album i was not impressed but going back to it years later makes this album good. jay Z was ahead of the pack with this album. Classic club songs like "hollywood" and lyrically great songs like "lost ones" and "beach chair" make this album.

While many will no doubt have set the bar of their expectations too high, Jay-Z has pulled out all of the stops on Kingdom Come.
-
Jay proves that, yes, he really has nothing more to say except to state the fact that he's back.
-
At 37, he's still at the top of his game.
