Off of the strength of the initial 2 singles, I picked up Jay-Z's "American Gangster" Album and love it. The initial buzz on this Album was really strong...but then when everyone got a hold of the pirated copies it seemed like everyone was disappointed. With Puff Daddy/P.Diddy producing or executive producing the majority of the tracks on the Album I can see people's initial concern. But the production is very strong as it stays true to the soulful melodies that Jay-Z promised.The song that seems to be getting the most buzz is "Success" featuring Nas. At first, I didn't understand the hype. It's a fairly simple composition by Producer No ID. But with relistens of the Album it's definitely becoming one of my favorite tracks on the album. There's a nakedness to "Success" whose subtlety and complexity becomes far more appreciated with repeat listens.The track that immediately grabbed me is "Hello Brooklyn" featuring Lil' Wayne. It stands out as the most audibly different track on the Album but I LOVE the harshness of the beat (which borrows from the Beastie Boys and adds a very Southern feel).Success featuring NasHello Brooklyn featuring Lil' Wayne
