Do you think Jay-Z’s American Gangster will be better than his classic Reasonable Doubt?

Jay-Z compares himself to Michael Jordan, but in a way he’s like the New York Yankees; there’s so much history of greatness and dominance, and everybody, especially his most loyal fans, expect him to win a “championship” every season. The long-time loyal fans of the New York Yankees remember the “glory days” of the celebrated franchise and when they don’t win a championship (such as this season) fans are always disappointed, angry even.

The long-time loyal fans of Jay-Z remember classic albums like Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint and expect every release to be an undisputed, certified classic. The New York Yankees haven’t won a championship in like 7 years. Jay-Z once rapped that he was on top of the rap game, for “7 straight Summers”.
But times have changed, and, well, the Summer of ’07 is over…
Can Jay-Z still bring the heat with American Gangster?…
