Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
In an earlier age, when the likes of Public Enemy and Gang Starr ruled the roost, Jay-Z would have garnered the same kind of serious attention and respect as, say, the Fresh Prince. But in the devalued hip-hop universe of the late 1990s--where political activism is irrelevant, and entrepreneurial mediocrities like Puff Daddy and Master P hold sway--it's tempting to hail him as a conquering hero. Tempting, but mistaken. For one thing, he lacks the pipes to be considered among the truly great MCs (Chuck D, Guru, Ice Cube, Method Man). For another, his rhymes--both structurally and in terms of subject-matter--are way too simplistic. Rather than draw any conclusions from his world, or postulate any form of action, Jay simply calls 'em like he sees 'em--a post- Biggie dialectic of thinly-veiled threats ("Friend Or Foe '98", "Face Off") and dreary self-aggrandisment ("I Know What Girls Like", "City Is Mine"). Hang on, didn't this used to be known as whack? --Andrew McGuire

8 out of 10 Album
Where I'm From Is One Of His Great Songs
Yet another hot album by Jay-z
this is a great album and up there as one of Jay's best only one bad song I know what girls want. there are loads of classics such as lucky me, imagenary player, wishing on a star i could go on.
Good, but not great
Its a good album, really it is. I think it is still Jay-Z trying to find his sound though. The album is patchy, good in parts, and not so good in others.
The sound is definitely more pop/radio friendly. If it wasn't of such varying quailty, it would be a great introduction to the jigga sound.
