Review

Entertainment Weekly (8/2/96, p.58) - "...It's not what he says, but how he says it--with an irresistible confidence, a voice that exudes tough-guy authenticity, and unadorned but suitably militant beats..." - Rating: B+
Vibe (6/02, p.109) - Ranked #7 in Vibe's "Top 10 rap albums" - "...Cinematic yet introspective...capturing the zeitgeist of the post-Native Tongue, pre-bling-bling era..."
The Source (8/96, p.95) - 4 Mics - Slammin' - "...[Jay-Z] moves from hip-hop sidekick to Mafia-style front man, blowing up the spot with vivid tales about the economic reality fueling what's left of contemporary ghetto politics....His lyrics create cuttingly clever rhymes that ride bomb tracks..."
Rap Pages (9/96, p.32) - "...Jay-Z has definitely come with something dope in his debut album....[His] hypnotic flow becomes the focal point of the album....REASONABLE DOUBT represents a culmination of style and innovation..."

Recorded at D&D Studios, New York, New York.

In the past few years, the hip-hop community has embraced a lot of rappers who falsify their identity with hard-rock gangster images, and created superstars out of average MCs. But where others proclaim, Brooklyn, New York native Jay-Z lyrically illustrates that he knows first hand what he is talking about. Jay-Z mixes original concepts with an imperative rhyming style, showing his versatility on cuts like "22 Two's" and "Friend Or Foe," while still managing to school youngsters on tracks like "Can I Live" and "Regrets," teaching them to learn from his mistakes.

Not only is REASONABLE DOUBT heads above other rap albums lyrically, it's a musical gem as well, with production that ranges from the R&B flavor of DJ Clark Kent to the rugged beats of the flawless DJ Premier. As rap's premier underground MCs begin to emerge above ground, Jay-Z's debut album sounds like the next classic.

Hove lit it up one this classic. This is what sparked it all. Lyrics over producer Skis best work. By far my favorite Jay-Z album. I cant forget about "Brooklyns Finest" w/Notrious B.I.G. (rip)
