Personnel includes: Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Pharrell. Producers: Ahmir Thompson, The Roots, Alex Coletti. Recorded live at MTV Studios, New York, New York on November 18, 2001. Audio Mixers: Questlove; Richard Nichols; Russell Elevado. Recording information: MTV Studios, Times Square, New York, NY (12/18/2001). Director: Milt Lage. Photographer: Walik Goshorn. Following the success of Blueprint, Jay-Z took a break from the studio productions of Timbaland and Just Blaze and stepped into acoustic surroundings for a taped edition of MTV's long-running Unplugged series. With the talents of the Roots as his backing band, Jay-Z fails to miss a step and feels just as comfortable in the unplugged arena as he does with drum machines and a mixing desk in front of him. The skills of Roots drummer Ahmir Thompson emulate even the slightest nuance from the originally programmed electronic beats, and Jay-Z fails to take this for granted, gently shifting from one song to the next in medley form with ease. With a strong track listing spanning his entire career of chart-topping hits, this album is the perfect introduction to Jay-Z's prolific catalog and a fun listen for the most dedicated of fans. ~ Rob Theakston

Best album by Jay Z bar none
to me this is Jay z best album. Captures his artistry better then anything else he has ever put out. I have gotten to the point where I just can not take hip hop seriously any more but this is unlike anything you hear on the radio now a days. the roots playing behind him and jay letting his words shine without all of the BS that comes along with current hip hop. I just wish I was there to witness it and see it live. To me this album is the best mtv unplugged album of all time, and i like i said before, easily Jay Z best album

Great acoustic set
I bought this many years ago when I was a newer fan of Jay Z. It's an acoustic CD and it really helped me to not only learn the words but discover new songs I hadn't known about. If you are a Jay Z fan I definitely recommend purchasing this.

It seems like a few tunes cut out before completion
A masterful album. A tremendous live performance. I missed the original airing on MTV. It seems like a few tunes cut out before completion. Left me wanting MORE fantasticness

Great cd. The roots are a tight funk machine
Great cd. The roots are a tight funk machine. Jay-z knows how to work an audience and Jaguar Wright is off the hook stupid good. Highly recommended

Jay Z Unplugged
I had this cd years ago so one day I heard a throw back Jay-Z song on the radio which prompted me to purchase this cd again. Good music always rock on!

Bad recording
I am a Jay-Z and Roots fan. The sound quality of this recording is garbage and sounds like they had only two mics to record the event. One for Jay-Z and one for the entire Roots band. Sounds like a jumbled mess. I’m sure it was great live.

Loved it
Of course you cannot go wrong with Jay-Z. I loved the entire cd from the beginning to the end. You will not be disappointed.

CD mit Gebrauchtspruren ist relativ
Der Vesand erfolgte promt, was für mich nachvollziehbar ist, dass die CD doppelt in der Hülle war. Die eine CD völlig zerkrazt, die andere..na ja..noch halbwegs hörbar. Jay-Z an sich ist Kult, besonders hervorstehend mit seinen Hits in unplugged.

Top live Spaß!
Die bekannten Songs von Jay z live & unplugged zu hören ist natürlich Klasse.Viele wurden dafür extra nochmal liebevoll an die Instrumente angepasst.Es gibt nur 4 Sterne, da Jay Z "nur" ein Rapper ist und nicht immer alle Töne live & unplugged perfekt trifft.

Jigga waht?
Jigga who? Allein schon dass die Roots da drauf sind ist ein Kaufgrund. Ordentlicher Knaller dieses Album. KAUFEN! Nicht überlegen!!!
