Fantastic! I thought it was really average after the first listens, but the BDAT made me want to listen to it again a few days ago. On next update, it's on my chart. Amazing amazing amazing.

Relistened to this yesterday. It's hard to go wrong with Jay at his best + Kanye beats.

A pop rap masterpiece. The only weak moment here is the "Renegade", which is just a "I am who I am" track. Not bad, just in comparison to what was before it and after it, it just feels out of place. Not Jay Z's greatest masterpiece (Reasonable Doubt), but a perfect example of an artist taking pre established song types and mastering them.

Realized how brilliant it was on my second listen.

Heart of the City blows me away everytime.
