I put this one second in Jay's catologue behind RD. I have it ahead of Blueprint because of how well the concept was executed.
Hov stated on Cipha Sounds radio show that the album comes full circle and at the end with the song "American Gangster," even after"Fallin," Shawn Carter still loves the game and the hustle.
My interpretation of the last two tracks is that even after seeing the inevitable fall of the hustler, the allure of the game is just too much. To me, itparalells the documentary "Through The Fire" with sebastian telfair. (This may be reeeaaccching, but I'm going to run with it). Even after hisfamily seeing the trials and tribs it took to get Sebastian to the league, his little brother is out there at the end of the movie shooting hoops and doingdrills as if he wants to be just like his big brother. Both guys are from Brooklyn, both made it out the gutter. I don't know, just my take.
