Title: A Great Live Hip Hop Album
Review: Jay-Z agreed with MTV to record an intimate live session with fans with the help of The Roots band and Jaguar Wright with a special guest appearance by Mary J. Blige to perform the classic `Can't Knock the Hustle'. The result is a short but sweet CD with Jay not missing a beat. While most mainstream rappers need flashy lights and naked dancers at concerts to spark excitement, all Jay needs is a mic and an audience. You can tell the crowd is excited to be there (even through the CD) and they sing along and interact with one of the all time greats. It is somewhat a promo spot for his recently released at the time `The Blueprint', but it's also a summary of his career up to that point. If you're a fan of Jay-Z then this is a must buy because it shows his love for the game, and even an emotional moment when he performs `Song Cry'. Don't miss the bonus track `People Talkin' produced by Just Blaze that follows after `Jigga, Jigga'.(3.5/5 mics)
