評点(rating)		（5点満点 fullmark :5）
Jay-Zの4年振り、13作目。Beyonceが前作のLemonodeで、Jay-Zの浮気を嘆いていたことに対するアンサー作的な位置づけになり、1曲目からKill Jay-ZとRapしたり、Beyonceや娘(Bonus Track)をGuestに起用したうえで、Family色を押し出した曲を後半に配置したりと、イメージ回復に躍起となっている。前作No IDによるTrackは、古めのソウル曲のサンプリングを多用しつつ、うまくまとめており、流石のQualityと統一感を生んでいる。弟子のKanyeの初期の作品を彷彿させる気もする。まあ、壮大な茶番劇といえないこともなく、こんなことまでビジネスに結びつけるJay-Zは流石の商売人だ思う。
