Here's a little something to tide you over until Jay-Z decides to come correct. Then again, Roc-A-Fella Records could release Sean Carter Sings MC Hammer's Greatest Hits and watch it ship platinum. So, it really doesn't matter if Dynasty seems to be a rather half-hearted effort from the man who many consider to be the best rapper this side of Rakim. Although presented as a solo album, Dynasty showcases the Roc-A-Family, giving extensive mic time to Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek, who gets a whole track (the Ja Rule-esque "Holla") to himself. Amil, whose own solo album, All Money Is Legal failed to reveal her inner queen, turns up to rhyme the hook on the posse cut, "You, Me, Him & Her." Jay-Z keeps his flow fairly straightforward here, and the beats neatly reflect his icy, relatively soulless lyrics. But of course, as the man himself has said, you "can't knock the hustle." --Rebecca Levine

One of the better compilations (3 and 1/2 stars).......2007-06-29

Let me start off by saying that the Intro is vintage Jay-z but its not the only track where Jigga goes off on. Streets Is Talking which features Beanie Sigel is another track where Jigga killed it and Beanie's verse was crazy too. Both Jay-z and Beanie rip the track Stick 2 The Script to shreds and Guilty Until Proven Innocent which features R. Kelly is Jay-z's finest moment on the mic. Scarface joins Jay-z and Beanie on the heartfelt This Cant Be Life. Memphis Bleek does pretty well on his solo joint Holla and Where Have You Been is one of the best songs on here as Jay-z and Beanie talk about their deadbeat fathers on the track. Although I love the song, I still dont like the 2 minutes of vinyl static that comes after the song fades out. This comp is not without its flaws. Parking Lot Pimpin is boring and so is 1-900-Hustler. Squeeze First is a classic example of beatwasting as Jay-z spits lukewarm verses of a hard beat. The R.O.C which features Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel is a commercial blunder and Jay-z's solo track, Soon You'll Understand is annoying to say the least. Bottom Line: Roc La Familia is one of the better rap compilations even though it has its suspect moments. Standout Tracks: INTRO, CHANGE THE GAME, STREETS IS TALKING, THIS CANT BE LIFE, GET YOUR MIND RIGHT MAMI, STICK 2 THE SCRIPT, YOU, ME HIM, HER, GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, HOLLA and WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.

4.5 stars: When Rocafella ruled hiphop.....................2006-11-25

Bump what you heard - Dynasty was the joint! The Roc came into 2000 on roll having just dropped Vol 3 in 99. The joints on here are classic.

Top Joints:
Change The Game (Classic)
I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) (CLassic)
This Can't Be Life (Deep Scarface & Jay Joint)
You, Me, Him And Her (ROC Joint)
Guilty Until Proven Innocent (Classic Kells & Jay joint. Jay would later plead guilty.)
Parking Lot Pimpin' (Classic)
Holla (Memph Bleek rips: Number One Rule: Never get caught Slippin! That's why I eat, sleep, sh%t with my gat. Get up, Take a piss, f*ck a b*tch with my gat.)
1-900-Hustler (Roc & State Property get their roll on)
Where Have You Been (Joint for all of the fatherless boys out there that grew to be men, like myself. Great performance from Jay & BSeigel.)

Jay-Z retired, thank god.......2006-08-02

The intro is tight, the rest just sucks... End of review!

underated.......2006-06-10

rip manpac you must not be a rap fan or a jayz fan talkin bout vol 3 was trash and the dynasty was worst u must like them franchise boyz cds or something cause them two albums are two of his best but anyway the dynasty was spose to be a compulation album thats the reason for the guess appereances but its a solid album on bad but underated

The Dynasty of Roc-A-Fella .......2006-05-18

I guess the Roc-A-Fella dynasty will never fall off. Every year, they seem to be getting stronger, but it's hard to knock their hustle, while Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella army are showing us why they are number one by dropping smash hit singles such as the "Neptunes'" produced, "I Just Wanna Love You" and "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" with R. Kelly singing the hook. Beanie Sigel really comes strong on this one, with cuts like "Streets Is Talking" and "Where Have You Been" where Mack and Jay talk about their father's leaving. Not as vivid as "Reasonable Doubt" nor as slick as "Vol. 2" but still most of the production work makes up for the album, i.e. Just Blaze and Kanye West (listen to "This Can't Be Life").

The Best.......2002-04-14

It is a tight cd and I really would recommend this cd.It may be edited but it is still really tight.I have always liked edited versions over un-edited versions because it is better.Jay-Z has always been my favorite and I hope you think the same thing.

Superb!.......2001-06-24

I've enjoyed some of Jay-Z's stuff in the past, but have been skeptical about, and somewhat turned off by all of the Jay-Z hype. When I gave this cd a listen, I was extremely impressed and then understood all of the hype. It is well deserved. This cd is outstanding. I especially appreciate the deep, sincere, heartfelt expression about past family life and hardships (especially from Beanie and Jay). I very much respect that, and I feel it. I like that they are not afraid to express their pain and disappointments. After all, music is a form of expression. They are not afraid to show that they have a heart, and have feelings too. I was especially touched by Beanie's rap about his father. It is deep and very moving. Great work! Finally, I greatly appreciate the edited cd version. I love rap/hip-hop, and purchase a lot of it, but I always prefer the clean versions. So, I hope that rap/hip-hop will always offer clean versions. I am a supporter of that. No matter how much I may like someone (M.O.P., Short Khop, Mac Mall, Missy, Daz, DPG), if they don't offer a clean version I won't buy it.

The best Jay-Z album released.......2000-11-11

This is a great cd to buy for numerous reasons like if you like rap or just Jay-Z. I gave it four stars because the explicit lyrics cd is better.
