This fifteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Jay-Z has. It’s natural for Jay-Z to take a stab at ‘Intro / A Million and One Questions / Rhyme No More’ considering her long-professed love for U2. Since Jay-Z last CD (In My Lifetime Vol. 1) on Blue Note Records back in 1997, I have felt a massive void in my life. This album is a scorcher!
has a fun tempo.
The City Is Mine (feat. Blackstreet) still maintains something of a specific flourish. I Know What Girls Like (feat. Puff Daddy and Lil’ Kim) is a song to enjoy for years to come. Imaginary Player is outstanding work of Jay-Z. Get In My Lifetime Vol. 1 and turn on Streets Is Watching if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Friend Or Foe ‘98 is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Lucky Me is perfect song though, very addictive. (Always Be My) Sunshine defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. I find myself hearing bits of Who You Wit II here and there throughout my waking hours. Face Off (feat. Sauce Money) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Real Niggaz (feat. Too Short) gets you up and jumping. Voice of Jay-Z in Rap Game / Crack Game is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Where I’m From is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after In My Lifetime Vol. 1 have ended. You Must Love Me is possibly the best song Jay-Z has come up.
