Rolling Stone's 250th greatest album of all time

Fairly tedious hip hop debut by Jay-Z. Most of the lyrics are about making money (legally or otherwise) or spending it. Most songs include lists of designer labels, Cristal etc etc. I think this set the mentality for the next generation of rappers, and while there is at one point a note that "crime is bad", it is fairly well hidden and the rest of the album does somewhat glorify crime and set the goal in life as being "having things".
