Just copped this today..nice to have an "official" acappella album for blends and such. If you're not into mixing and blending, however, the only appeal of this album is hearing the power of the words, without any instrumentals.

I say this to Ryan simply because of the shock I went through when I was in Target looking for the new 8ball & MJG album (which is a 5 star album, pick it up!!!). When I saw that Jay-Z put this acappella album out all I could think was damn!, this guy will do anything for money!!! I loved The Black Album, but I just didnt understand this.

But if your into mixing; then I guess it makes a hell of a lot of sense! LOL

I did listen to the album, and it was decent, i wouldn't buy it simply because I gotta have the beats, but it is kinda nice if you just want to focus on the lyrics and really hear what Jay is saying, so maybe this album wasnt such a bad idea after all, it just depends on your opinion.

5 stars b/c the original was that damn good!!!!!

As much as I like Jay-Z, I find it hard to listen to even two tracks on this album. He's a good rapper and all, but his voice can get kind of annoying after awhile. So, I tried listening to this album but got nothing but annoyance. I like the normal version because of the beats so I got that, but I downloaded the acapella to see how it sounded. It kinda sucked. I'm glad I downloaded it, because it wasn't worth my money. But seriously, if you're a DJ and want to use some of your own beats to back up his voice, go right ahead.

No one seems to recognize the significance of Jay-Z releasing an acapella album that is getting major distribution and appearing in record stores everywhere. Jay-Z is one of the most intelligent men on Earth today, and I think the release of this album is relevant for far more reasons than making homegrown Black Album remixes.

one person can create so much with this acappella album. from what i heard you can only get this on vynl, but i guessed wrong when i was walkin around k mart drunk as a mo fo!!!! personally, i think all good rappers should come out with at least one or two acappella albums so that the fans can have fun remixing and mixing their stuff. after i get done doing a few things here and there, im gonna try giving a copy to jay z himself LOL, like thats really possible! who would want to listen to crap i made LOL! but all in all, this album here is the altimate dj's tool for making endless creations of one of jay z's bad ass albums. now im off to mixing!!!!!!!!!!!
