Amazon.co.uk Review
Few retirements are as short-lived as that of New York rap mogul Jay-Z. Barely two years after bowing out in 2004, he's back with Kingdom Come - and if he's set down the mic for a minute, it doesn't show. Backed by a dream team of producers (Just Blaze, Kanye West, Dr Dre, The Neptunes), with special guests including Pharrell, Beyonce, and Coldplay's Chris Martin, it's an A-list cast. Naturally, though, it's the Hova who's the star attraction, slightly older and prone to pontificating on his ten years in the game (see "30-Something"), but certainly no wiser: as he raps on "Trouble", he's still got "hands in the cookie jar". The first few tracks are pure consolidation, gleaming and boastful productions that remind you just how great Jay-Z is on the mic. Further in, though, Kingdom Come branches out in style: "Hollywood", the duet with Beyonce, is a jaded take on celebrity culture, while "Minority Report" relives the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina with the Bush Administration in the metaphorical sights. Finally, the Coldplay-produced "Beach Chair" concludes the album on a spiritual note, Jay-Z announcing "life is but a dream" as Chris Martin trills like an angel atop echoing drums and distorted, music-box guitar. If you thought it could never work, you were clearly underestimating.--Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews

Dissapointing.
I was anticipating this album so much. Jay-Z has never failed to deliver an album that I've enjoyed but this one was a big dissapointment.

It's not up to his usual standard, that's for sure. And while it's not a bad album, it's not exactly a good one. It's the type of album I'll listen to once in a while and then put on my shelf for months on end untill I remember it's there.

Yes, Kingdom of Incompetence comes ...with you !!! We know it !!!!
Dear Jay-Z,
It's a great mistery of this earth how people shoud buy your albums !!!
I don't have this album and I never will own it.
For this rating I used the examle tracks of tha Amazon.com and it is enough to say that THIS IS A FLOP LIKE ALL YOUR ALBUMS.
I sincerely have to tell you that I appreciate you just and only when you are a guest in the albums of the other rappers . So be guest from here to your day of death.
Fortunately there are rappers like Redman, Camp Lo, Icarus, Mally G, Da Ranjahz, Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz, M.O.P., Onyx and GangStarr that maintain high the banner of the rap music !!!
JUST WITH YOU HIP HOP IS DEAD. This would be the title of your next album : " Just with me Hip Hop is dead !"

If you want to buy a nice rap album, please check up my rap listmania, just clicking on my nickname and clicking above my listmania. Here there are 40 Hip-Hop albums choosed by me just for winning people and not for fans of the mortal masochism rap !!!

Just Listen to the Intro
In myopinion the albumm intro is one of the hottest tracks I have heard from him. I have played it so much that Its almost unheallthy. That and Lost One far and away the best tracks, but i seem to be the only one who thinks this looking at these reviews.
