1. The Black Album was the first time I actually believed that Jay-Z was in the same league as someone like Biggie or 2Pac. Don't get me wrong, BLUEPRINT was a great album, but it had a different initial feel to me. What I mean is that when I hit play on BLACK ALBUM, first listen I said "Wow, this album is a classic that people will remember for a loooooooong time." Where as BLUEPRINT sort of grew on me over time.
2. Agreed. Single disc would have been better. Notorious is a great film though. Definitely worth seeing.
3. I only have Absence.
