The Black Album by Jay-Z was released in Q4 2003. As the Brooklyn rapper is retiring, this will be his last album, and has generally been well received by the critics.
The album mixes sentimental quotes from Jay-Z's mother in December 4th with defiance and anger in tracks like What More Can I Say and Threat, delivering an emotionally driven final statement to the world.
This album, with The Beatles' White Album, has recently been remixed into The Grey Album by DJ Danger Mouse.
