Jay-z is a rapper that i admire very much. He has crossed many obstacles in his life and career. Jay-z is the richest rapper in hip hop. I love the fact that he does not care about what people say. He marches to the beat of his own drum and keeps striving for what he believes in. Jay-z just came out with his latest album called American Gangster. This album is the verbal reenactment of the movie American Gangster about the drug lord Frank Lucas. The album starts off with the song pray which describes a young boy who wants to be cool and make money. The climax of the CD is "Roc Boys" which is the hight of the drug dealers career. The CD ends with "Fallin" which talks about the drug dealers career being over and him going to jail. The CD is a classic and will not be forgotten.
