Product Description

Album Details

UK pressing of the 2007 album from the rapper-turned-business mogul. American Gangster is Jay-Z's tenth studio release. A semi-concept album inspired by Ridley Scott's film of the same name, it sees Jay-Z chronicle his time as a street hustler. It is a return to a grittier street sound than his predecessor Kingdom Come. Lyrics are nostalgically woven with tales of clandestine activities in a ruthless nineties New York . Comparisons are being made to his debut album Reasonable Doubt and with good reason. The lead single 'Blue Magic', produced by none other than Pharrell Williams, is an '80s-feeling ode taking its hook from En Vogue's 'Hold On'. Also on board for the record are esteemed producers P.Diddy and Just Blaze, and there is another stunning collaboration with Nas, aptly entitled 'Success'.


Amazon.com

Separate from the official motion picture soundtrack, this collection of all-new original material is a musical journey and lyrical interpretation of snapshots from the upcoming motion picture American Gangster. The conceptual, full body of genius work from the new album balances the line between pure entertainment and real life. JAY-Z draws upon past experiences, speaking to the harsh reality of the drug trade still taking place in our nation's cities. While not glorifying the Frank Lucas story, JAY-Z articulates the lure of a gangster's life and stands as an example of one who chose to leave those streets behind to go on and become one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time.

5.0 out of 5 stars 地味かと思いきや, 2008/4/29
By マルけん (岡山県) - See all my reviews
発売当初に視聴した感じではちょっと地味かなと思ってましたが、最近ちまたに氾濫している「DJ製作の勝手にリミックス集」に出来の良いものが多く原盤に興味が出て購入しました。

確かに世間で言われている通り「The Blueprint」の雰囲気に似てますが、あれよりもっとやるせない感じというか緊張感が高いですね。サンプリングがマーヴィン、カーティス、アイズレー、バリー・ホワイトといった哀愁系のものが多いからでしょうか。

ホーンのサンプリングが勇ましい6も良いですし、リル・ウェインがコケインばりにへろへろと歌いまくる4はビースティ・ボーイズの同名曲をトラックごとカバーした不穏なベース音がかっこ良すぎ。ほのぼのタッチのネプチューンズの8もこの流れで浮くことなく収まってます。というようにどれも良いのですが、個人的なベストはジャスト・ブレイズ作の10。「Between The Sheets」使いですが少し変わった所をループさせていて、ひたすら上がっていくような感覚が気持ちいい出来。

今までジェイZの作品では「The Blueprint」「The Black Album」がお気に入りだったのですが、それらに匹敵するほどいいですね。日本盤を購入しましたが解説&対訳もしっかりしている上、前作の日本盤のように余計なボートラを入れて流れを壊すこともなく良かったと思います。

4.0 out of 5 stars 注意が必要ですよ, 2008/2/5
By Sweet Smoke (大阪府枚方市) - See all my reviews
映画「American Gangster」のCMで使われている歌は、Heart of the cityです。
このアルバムには含まれていません。「The Blueprint」というアルバムに収録されています。

ただ、このアルバム自体、非常に素晴らしいので買いだとは思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars なかなかの傑作, 2007/11/3
たった今聞き終えたばかりだが(幸運なことに発売日の前にきくことができた)、前作に比べるとR&B色が薄くなり本来の彼のスタイルにもどったのかなという印象を受ける。前作に不満がある人にとってはいいのではないか(私は前作もすきだが)。
私が一番期待したのはNasをフィーチャーしたSuccessであったがこちらの出来もなかなか。
Jay-Zがインスパイアされたという同名の映画が日本では1月に公開されるらしいのだがそちらも非常に楽しみだ。
