American Gangster vs The Black Album.. which album is the better album?..

When journeying though the album, Jay-Z rarely homes in on one song, but describes them in groups. It’s as if he doesn’t want one to outshine the others.

He begins to explain a song that correlates with a scene in the movie.

“In ‘Success,’ there is the scene [in the movie] where he shoots the guy in front of the [restaurant]…”

Suddenly, he starts spitting lines from the song.

“I’m way too important to be talking about extorting /Ask me for a portion is like askin’ for a coffin.”

Then he resumes the answer as if it weren’t just sliced in two by a rap bar.
"…where the guy tries to extort him in front of the diner,” he says moving to the next few songs. “ ‘Pray’ is the corruption with the cops. ‘Fallen’ is, his fall from grace. [The album] is all of the pieces and bits of emotions I pulled from the movie.”


“The last song is a song called ‘Fallen’ and that’s everything just falling apart,” he says, eventually reverting back to his brash brand of bravado. “[The album’s conclusion is] not really true and s**t, ‘cause I’m a bad ma’ f**ker. I really made it and s**t. I’m better than Al Capone – he ain’t make it. Michael Corleone [from “The Godfather”], Scarface – I’m iller than all them n***as.”

The room remains silent.

“Y’all gotta give it to me,” he coos…charming them into laughter. “That’s some very true s**t.”
