When Jay-Z Was Good

Over a month late on this, but my recent subscription to The Rub has yielded the quintessential Jay-Z mixtape, featuring a pre-bubble wrapped Hova. “…I wanted to go back and pull out a bunch of his music that made you bob your head, marvel at his flow, puff out your chest, or even raise the little hairs on the back of your neck. The feelings you got from songs like “Where I’m From,” “D’Evils,” “1-900-Hustler” and “You Don’t Know.” Not included: #1 singles you’ve heard a million times, lazy one-take flows, lyrics about inventing the button-down shirt, songs dissing rappers who would later be signed to Jay-Z’s label, and songs produced by Eminem.” — “D.O.J.: Best of Jay-Z Mix”   The Rub
