yes I'd recommend it but if you didn't like kingdom come you aren't going to like american gangster too much.
When Jay came back with Kingdom Come....you can tell he matured and most of his beats were made through the use of live instruments and a band.
The problem with that is that his main listener base didn't mature....they wanted to hear some old Jay. The stuff that made him popular in the first place. I like the new direction he is heading in.
I used to say Reasonable Doubt was my favorite Jay-Z album....but recently I've been listening to Kingdom Come more and It is easily my favorite of his now. It has much more musical content to it as far as instrumentation which I love. American Gangster is a close second because it follows the same vein as Kingdom Come.
My favorite tracks off of Kingdom Come are Anything, Trouble, Dig A Hole, Minority Report and Beach Chair.
