Less than a year after the release of his first post-retirement album Kingdom Come, Jay-Z comes back wearing the 4-5 again with his newest project, American Gangster. Based upon the Ridley Scott film 'American Gangster' starring Denzel Washington, once Jay-Z saw a sneak peak at the thriller based upon the life of heroin kingpin Frank Lucas he locked himself in the lab and set in on his first career "concept album." The first single is the Pharrell-laced banger "Blue Magic" (peep the video!), but this joint also features the Just Blaze banger "Ignorant Shit" with the bananas Isley Brothers sample... Jay-Z took the fans to heart when they said his 'KINGDOM COME' album wasn't hard enough for his 'REASONABLE DOUBT' loyalists and now he's cooking up more of that Sean Carter gangster sh*t for the doubters.
