I was excited for his return with "Kingdom Come", and bought the CD the day it came out that November. That album played in my head like a movie, and every verse hit me with cinematic wonder.
By the end of the fall, I was well-versed in his debut album, 1996's 'Reasonable Doubt,' and Jay was firmly my favorite rapper.
I must have listened to that song at least 25 times that week. I distinctly remember these moments: I was sitting in my room on a Monday morning before my summer job, and I had just downloaded "Dead Presidents II" and was amazed.
I matured late, and while I was still coming of age, this Jay had a confidence that I found drawing. In the summer of 2006, I was 15, and I heard "Dead Presidents II" for the first time.
