If you got music problems, I feel bad for you son

I got 499 problems but this Album ain't one.

This Album is pretty sick, not gonna lie. It's hard, it's heavy-hitting, and it's all around just kind of fun to listen to. Jay-Z has a pretty decent rap voice, and the beats are well selected. Jay-Z decided that every single song on this Album should have a diff producer, which definitely had an effect on some all the tracks. Fantastic songs like "Moment of Clarity" were produced by Eminem, while shitty songs like "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" were produced by Timbaland. You know your song is bad when the Skit is more fun to listen to than the song itself.

Tight Album, Loose Lips.
