Has anyone bought either album or both? I have them both on hold at Target, but getting them both. Tell me what you think of the albums. if anyone gonna get them or one of them get them at Target they are on sale for $9.98 each.

You gotta get Jay-Z'S, though I haven't heard anything off of it, I'm sure it's superior.

Jay-Z

I will be getting Jay-Z since I own most of his discs. Hell no on G-Unit!

Jay Z DID IT AGAIN!

From the 2nd jam with his mom speakin through the song...that was a start for me already.

Jay Z definitley got it over G-Unit's bullshit. only up 2 #6 and doin good.

ok now that i heard the whole album, it is aiight.

it began very good, then all of a sudden...i dont know the rhymes were tight but i guess it is because i am comparing it 2 "The Blueprint" i guess. The album almost dont seem as if he is done really. Kinda leaves u like, "Oh he comin back next year" feel. But #2 on there, it is pure classic.
He should have kept that vibe going...

oh and by the way u guys, Justify My Thug is a nice song. All the songs are good actually.

heres my amazon.com review:

****1/2 of 5

Jay Z really seemed like he was tryin 2 get better artists to appear on this album. He tried to get Prince to feature in a song (which one unknown) and Madonna to appear on "Justify My Thug" (a nice track that at least didnt repeat the original beat).

"December 4th" is genuine, this song really stands out and gives chills. His mother speaks (a la "She's Alive - Andre 3000) over the track as he trades rhymes, and the production of this track is outstanding. It is a surprise though that Timbaland's and Eminem's tracks are amoung the weakest productions on the lp.

Threats feature sum crazed maniac makin threats 2 u as Jay Z rhymes fluently, also a nice track. "Encore" is very dope very dope.
"Change Clothes" is very very nice. The 1st single. Although their 2nd production on the album is mediocore "allure"

jay Z didnt wish 2 conquer success over "The Blueprint" but leaves with the eye wondering, will we miss him when he's gone 4 good? Only time will tell...

same here, there were only 3 Jay Z's left, while G-Units (the secion of the mental hosptal where dumbass rappers go) were sitting, anxiously waiting a customer

Jigga 4 me yo!

The Blueprint is his best album in my opinion!

Same and that's why I was hugely dissapointed with "Blueprint 2.0" (and I'm sure "2.1" wasn't much better).

Have you heard the album yet? Huh, thats what i thought, nooo you didn't.

lemme telll u sumthin. U didnt even call nobody so...

anyway im pretty sure that i would have accepted Jay Z due 2 the fact that i dont dig 50 much, and it will take sum real songs & heart 2 make me listen 2 him. I heard his single on BET (dont know what video it is, the second new single) and it was ok, at least it wasnt 4 the kids.

I am finished downloadin "In My Lifetime Vol.1" and now i hav the whole Jay Z collektion! 2 of em thanx 2 u!
