Release and promotion[edit]

Jay-Z had announced that The Black Album would be his final record and went on a retirement tour after its release.^[2] When it was released, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold 463,000 copies in its first week.^[3] According to Billboard, it became Jay-Z's top selling record of the 2000s and the 136th highest selling record of the decade in the United States.^[4] By July 2013, the album had sold 3,516,000 copies in the US.^[5]

Three singles were released from the album and appeared on the Billboard charts. 'Change Clothes' and 'Dirt off Your Shoulders' both reached the top 10 of the Hot 100, while '99 Problems' peaked at number 30.^[6]

Critical reception[edit]

The Black Album was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, it received an average score of 84, based on 19 reviews.^[7]AllMusic's John Bush claimed Jay-Z was retiring at his peak with the album.^[8]Vibe magazine said it was remarkable as an apotheosis of his genuinely thoughtful songwriting and lyrics 'delivered with transcendent skill',^[17] while Steve Jones from USA Today said even with 'top-shelf work' from elite producers, the album was elevated by Jay-Z's uniquely deft and diverse rapping style.^[16] Writing for The A.V. Club, Nathan Rabin felt Jay-Z returned to 'brevity and consistency' on an album that demonstrated his lyrical abilities and, more importantly, hip hop's best producers.^[18] Jon Caramanica wrote in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) that The Black Album was both 'old-school and utterly modern', showcasing Jay-Z 'at the top of his game, able to reinvent himself as a rap classicist at the right time, as if to cement his place in hip-hop's legacy for generations to come'.^[19]

Some reviewers were less enthusiastic. In Rolling Stone, Touré argued that The Black Album was slightly inferior to Jay-Z's best records, namely Reasonable Doubt (1996) and The Blueprint (2001).^[1] Dave Simpson from The Guardian was more critical, dismissing the music as 'an aural equivalent of that old American favourite, the schmaltzy biopic.'^[10] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau gave the record a back-handed compliment: '[Jay-Z] raps like a legend in his own time—namely, Elvis in Vegas'.^[20] Nonetheless, he was impressed by the stretch of songs from 'Encore' to 'Justify My Thug' and wrote in a retrospective review for MSN Music that 'the fanfares, ovations, maternal reminiscences, and vamp-till-ready shout-outs were overblown at best', but they have come to sound 'prophetic' because of the entrepreneurial success and fame Jay-Z continued to achieve after The Black Album. 'He's got a right to celebrate his autobiography in rhyme because he's on track to become a personage who dwarfs any mere rapper,' Christgau wrote in 2011, 'and not only can he hire the best help dark green can buy, he can make it sing.'^[12]

In 2005, The Black Album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album,^[21] losing to Kanye West's The College Dropout at the 47th Grammy Awards.^[22] It was also ranked number 349 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.^[23]Pitchfork ranked The Black Album at number 90 on its decade-end list of the top 200 albums from the 2000s,^[24] while Slant Magazine ranked it seventh best on a similar list.^[25] In 2012, Complex named it one of the 'classic' records of the previous decade.^[26]

Biography

Sean Corey Carter, professionally famous as Jay-Z, was born and brought up in Brooklyn, New York. His father left the family when Sean was just a kid, and they were constantly short of money. So the boy soon became independent and learned how to take care of himself. He started rapping being a teenager, and in the neighborhood, people called him Jazzy, or Jay-Z. Once, when Jay-Z was wondering around the streets, he accidentally ran across a rapper with small fame called Big Jaz, or Jay-O. The colleague told to the fresher some of his experience about show business and advised what to do in order to become prominent in rap circles. Jay-Z was the member of the hip-hop command Original Flavor for a short time, but then instead of signing to a major recording company, he decided to start his own label Roc-a-Fella Records. Having found a reputable distributor Priority Records (which later would become Def Jam, headed by Jay-Z himself), the artist recorded his debut album Reasonable Doubt in 1996. Such guest celebrities as Mary J. Blige and Notorious B.I.G. along with the theme of gangster life made the whole New York talk about Jay-Z.

In 1997, the autobiographic disc In My Lifetime, Vol. 1, fortified the success of the Reasonable Doubt. Besides the hardcore tracks, the work featured pop rap - such things, as Sunshine and The City Is Mine showed that Jay-Z is not serious and brutal all the time and exposed him to a wider auditory. Next year the album Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life saw light and brought the first Grammy award to the rapper. Being faithful to the one-year-one-record tradition, Jay-Z issued Vol. 3: Life And Times Of S. Carter in 1999. Dr. Dre and Timbaland produced this epic thing, full of sincere stories from Jay-Z's hard times, while singles Big Pimpin and Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up) became big hits. In 2000, the rapper had one more ace in the pocket - the full-length Dynasty Roc La Familia, which was much contributed by his protégés. The highly lyrical and passionate composition I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) became the loudest success from the work. The sixth masterpiece titled The Blueprint affirmed Jay-Z's top position in rap in 2001. Around the same time, the scandalous rivalry between the rapper and his colleague Nas began - for the whole year both of them devoted angry and witty rap odes to each other, which greatly contributed to the popularity of both Jay-Z and Nas.

It could be that rivalry that greatly inspired Jay-Z - he secluded himself in the studio, where he wrote about 40 songs, 25 of which featured the double disc The Blueprint: The Gift & The Curse, which saw light in 2002. The cover for 2Pac's song 03 Bonnie & Clyde, featuring Beyonce, became the lead hit from the album. By that moment, it was clear that the two artists had a romance. In 2003, after the release of The Black Album, the performer announced his departure from rapping. The same year he had a farewell tour with rapper R. Kelly, which finished in pretty sum lawsuits to each other from both. In 2004, the retired artist became the Def Jam Records president. The company endured a crisis by that moment, but Jay-Z managed the situation. In 2005, he made a concert titled I Declare A War, during which made public his come back in rap. In 2006, the rapper made a forceful re-ignition with the long anticipated by fans album Kingdom Come. Next year he made the listeners amused with the album American Gangster, which was written under the impression from the eponymous film and contained Jay-Z's speculations on the theme of streets life.
