Having one of the toughest producers around ( Premier) as well as one of the slickest ( Puff Daddy) sometimes creates a disconnect between who Jay-Z really is and who he wants to become, but he balances both personas with the best rapping heard in the rap game since the deaths of 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G.Adblock Adblock Plus Adblocker Ultimate Ghostery uBlock Origin Others But Jay-Z plays the ghetto celebrity equally well, and continues his slick, Cristal-sipping image with 'I Know What Girls Like' (featuring Puff Daddy and Lil' Kim), '(Always Be My) Sunshine' (featuring Babyface and Foxy Brown), and 'Lucky Me.' Puff Daddy's Bad Boy stable is responsible for almost half the productions, and though they often verge far into pop territory, Jay-Z usually rescues them from a complete crossover. The song leads right into 'Friend or Foe '98,' the sequel to a track from Reasonable Doubt that only increases the sense of paranoia.

Though the productions are just a bit flashier and more commercial than on his debut, Jay-Z remained the tough street rapper, and even improved a bit on his flow, already one of the best in the world of hip-hop. in early 1997, Jay-Z made his claim for the title of best rapper on the East Coast (or anywhere) with his sophomore shot, In My Lifetime, Vol.
