I neither liked the American Gangster movie or the album too much. Movie was simply soso, somehow not mine, although good actors and everything, but I didn't buy Denzel being Franck Lucas. The Jay-Z album was lyrically great, but you really felt that the guy worked for around 3 weeks and not more on the album.
But here's the deal..he realesed an a-capella album too, something he did with the Black Album too which led to the Brown Album, the Grey Album etc.
Now, this time, people have been flipping. There's the Cookin Soul remix with Elvis, over to American Godfather with parts from the Godfather movie, Daft Gangster, Real Live Gangster...damn!!
Eitherway, more or less are remixes are here linked and ready for download.
I personally liked the K-Def(great old school producer for Lords of The Underground etc.) and the Shuko&Gunner Marvin Gaye meets Jay-Z versions best. Daft Gangster was alright, Cookin Soul(The Elvis version) pretty good, The American Godfather interesting in concept but those two simply outstanding.
