The Story of OJ

I was a late catcher on as a fan of Jay Z since he came to prominence as I was still building my musical pallate. I started listening to him for real while I was in college, which happened to coincide when critics and fans began to consider him dropping off on his albums, which became more commercial. I think that because of when I began to listen to him, I enjoy that time more and was not very impressed with his latest album "4:44," despite critics. Of course I didn't get to listen to the whole thing, because screw Tidal. But, I listened to the release "The Story of OJ," and samples of some of the other tracks. Nothing really caught my fancy, despite that it has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews and has already gone platinum. Guess it just has to do with era. 

 As for photos, I have a bunch from June 23-July 2 in both sports and some parade. Enjoy, and don't forget to go to smugmug.com/MorrisonCountyRecord to purchase any photos.
