Disc 2- THE CURSE

1. Diamonds is Forever - Good opening, raps about the ROC and how they'll be on top forever.

2. Guns and Roses - This one features Lenny Kravitz which i thought was crazy since he is rock but the song sounds pretty good, the beats made from a guitar and jay-z raps on it nicely. What a beat by Heavy D!

3. U Don't Know (Remix) - Song remixed from Blueprint 1, this one features M.O.P., a new addition to ROC, good one. Just Blaze just tweaked the song enough to make it better than the first.

4. Meet The Parents - Very rare coming from him, but good storytelling by Jay-z, raps about real life situations

5. Some How Some Way - features Beanie Sigel and Scarface, These guys have collaborated in the past and they always sound good together, i think they should form a group, another good hit by this fantastic trio.

6. Some People Hate - I like this beat, cool chorus, good lyrics obviously about all those haters. Alot of 2pac biting on the song.

7. Blueprint 2 - Nas dissed one again, funny chorus, part of it taken from Austin Powers. Sick beat like the song before it.

8. ... Please - Neptunes again! feautures young chris, him and Jay-z sound pretty well on this neptunes beat

9. 2 many hoes - Timbaland - another party beat, i luv this one, funny lyrics, another fav

10. As One - sampled from some oldy, i forget, features Memphis Bleek, Freeway, Young Guns, Peedi Crakk, Sparks and Rell. ROC at its fullest! its definitely an anthem, Rell sings the hook and i luv it

11. A Ballad for the Fallen Soldier - Neptunes! they finally calm down, a nice calm beat, nice songs, inspirational

12. Show you How (Bonus) - disses all those fake rappers, good bonus

13. Bitches and Sisters - controversial track, raps about the differences between sisters and u know who.

14. What They Gonna Do Part 2 - Just as good as the first one, different beat, definetly a good one though, and the chorus is the same but no sean paul, not a big loss though, Jay-z makes up for it

And there u have it, another almost flawless gift (and curse, hehe) to us from Jay Z. This album followed suit with the first disc as it was very diverse and the lyrics were better on this disc than the first. Another great album put out by Jay Z.

9 OUT OF 10
