"AMERICAN GANGSTER" THE RETURN OF THE LEGEND



AS WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, JAY-Z IS PUTTING TOGETHER LAST MINUTE TOUCHES TO HIS SECOND ALBUM IN LESS THAN A YEAR. TENTATIVELY TITLED AMERICAN GANGSTER, THE CONCEPTAL ALBUM USES THE UPCOMING DENZEL WASHINGTON-STARRING MOVIE WITH THE SAME NAME AS INSPIRATION. JIGGA HAS UNVEILED THE COVER ART FOR THE ALBUM, AND IN TYPICAL JIGGA FASHION HE'S GOT EVERYBODY IN THE INTERNET WORLD BLOGGING FURIOUSLY ABOUT IT. IT IS A COOL COVER - CLASSY, UNDERSTATED AND MYSTERIOUS- IF I CAN SAY SO MYSELF.

BUT COME NOVEMBER 06TH, IT WON'T BE THE COVER DOING THE TALKING; ITS THE MUSIC THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER JIGGA IS WORTH MENTIONING IN RAP CIRCLES ANYMORE.

THE QUESTION IS: WILL JAY-Z BETTER HIS LEGACY WITH 'AMERICAN GANGSTER' OR WILL THE ALBUM RELEGATE HIM TO HIP HOP OBSCURITY?

YOU BE THE JUDGE. AMERICAN GANGSTER IS COMING!
