#TheStoop: The 20th Anniversary of Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life

Today on #TheStoop: A Mini-Podcast series, we take you back to the musical Golden Era of 90’s music, and celebrate one of the Greatest albums of the decade. Twenty years ago tomorrow (September 29, 1998), Jay-Z released his 3rd studio album, “Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life”. The album & the single (of the same name) exploded across the Hip Hop industry, and sent Jay-Z into pole position as the best rapper of the game. It sold over 5 million albums, & became the foundational piece that set up the Rocafella Records era into the new millenium.

I invite Shawn Adonis (Past contributor to South Shore Ave) as we discuss the Top 5 songs from the album, where this album ranks among the other albums in the Jay-Z catalogue, the impact the album had on Rocafella records, and much more.

Welcome once again to The Ave Podcast. In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take you back to the musical Golden Era of 90’s music to celebrate one of the Greatest albums in Hip Hop history. Twenty years ago tomorrow (June 25, 1996), smack in the middle of a East Coast – West Coast Beef led by Bad Boy and Death Row Records, Shawn Carter otherwise known as Jay-Z, dropped his debut album “Reasonable Doubt”. At the time, it was highly viewed as a critically acclaimed album. As time went along, it’s now regarded as a masterpiece and one of the best Hip Hop Albums that has even been made.

Today we welcome back our guest & past contributor to South Shore Ave Shawn Adonis (The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, Episode 3 of The Ave), as we discuss our favorite songs from the album (what’s said about one song in particular may shock you), if this truly qualifies as Jay-Z’s greatest album, and how it ranks among our all-time Hip Hop albums.
