It is finally here. Noted Jay-Z scholar, Ben. And Charlie, just along for the ride, finally get into the (just music) retrospective of Jay-Z.

In the first of three parts, we tackle his late 90s output, from "Reasonable Doubt" to "Vol. 3", discussing how a weak commercial result for his debut set a tone for what came after it.

Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (22:58)
Reasonable Doubt - (36:12)
In My Lifetime Vol. 1 - (47:50)
