The artist known as Jay-Z released his first solo album in 1996, and proceeded to release a new one every single subsequent year until 2003; when he released The Black Album, his supposedly final record. However, three years later he was at it again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To release eight albums in as many years takes a hustlers ambition indeed. That is why Jay-Z sits on the throne of todays hip-hop world. He has worked hard to get there. He has done it all: hit songs, classic albums, clothing lines, fragrances, shoe deals, a book, nightclubs, champagne, and a cosmetics line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEET THE AUTHOR Acamea Deadwiler is a freelance writer that has been featured in several publications, and also a columnist with Examiner.com.

Easily one of the top five releases in the genres history. Jay-Z is at his ultimate creative, lyrical, maniacal, original, storytelling, conscious, and subtle best. His flow, even on the more radio-friendly tracks, is impeccable.   On this album, he is a poet and a renaissance man. This is the artist, in every sense of the word, that original fans know and love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn \"Song Cry\": The artist admits his pain. The result of a failed relationship, and a love lost. However, he also admits his flaws. Flaws that ultimately led to the hurt he now feels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJay-Z fully understands why his girl no longer wants him. His wounds are self-inflicted, but that does not make them any less agonizing. So, he attempts to heal in the best way that he knows how; by bleeding all over this track. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER OUTLINE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuicklet on the Best Jay-Z Songs: Lyrics and Analysis\u003cbr\u003e  + Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  + Jay-Z: Selected Lyrics\u003cbr\u003e  + Fun Facts\u003cbr\u003e  + Sources\/Links\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Best Jay-Z Songs: Lyrics and Analysis","brand":"Hyperink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179166580976,"sku":"2940014409711","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014409711_p0.jpg?v=1763617195","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014409711","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
