Jay-Z's third LP is the crossover album that didn't sell out. "Hard Knock Life," in my opinion, is one of the best singles in hip hop history. Not only was the use of the Annie sample brilliant, but it also put a light back of the legendary Mark The 45 King. "Nigga What, Nigga Who" and "Money Cash Hoes" are two spectacular beats with raps worthy of the instrumentals. "A Week Ago" is a classic that demonstrates Jay-Z's descriptive writing ability and features Short Dog on the hook. "Can I Get A..." got some attention. "Reservoir Dogs" introduced the world to Beanie Sigel. And "Money Ain't A Thang" was two emcees living large who weren't lying about it. In conclusion, this is one of the greatest albums from arguably rap's last classic year.
