SECOND INTERMISSION: Zamboni dude is back, this time with regal apparel. In the meantime, this interesting tidbit: the Cornell roster features three sets of siblings: Brendon and Riley Nash, Michael and Patrick Kennedy, and twins Mike and Joe Devin.

The following song, “Roc Boys (And the Winner Is...),” fulfills Jigga’s penchant for incorporating at least one triumphal track (regal, blaring trumpets included) into every album. Following these songs, things die down for a bit. Jay-Z makes a stab at an extended love/drug metaphor akin to 50 Cent’s “A Baltimore Love Thing” in “I Know...
