If you were a hip hop fan then you most definitely love some Jay-Z. I remember living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and hearing the song "Ain't No" featuring Foxy Brown. The track was a throwback track, but they were spitting on there like something I never heard before. Then Jay-Z came back with Dead Presidents that sampled Nas and I knew this guy was going to be around for awhile.The initially released the album Reasonable Doubt independently and then linked up with Def Jam.

This took them to another level and the rest is history. While the initial label of Roc A Fella started with Jay-Z, Kareem Biggs Burkes and Dame Dash,they eventually went their own ways and disbanded. Jay-Z kept the label alive and released Kanye West and a few other artist, before the label went silence. Well this year is the twentieth year anniversary of the hit album "Reasonable Doubt". Jay-Z and Biggs linked up in LA and did a pop up shop where they displayed merchandising and other items in celebration, check out the video.

If you don't have this album in your collection, you are truly slipping. This is a classic and there are not to many that can follow up what the Roc did back in the day.
