Favourite albums of all time: 79) Jay-Z - Unplugged Released at the tail-end of 2001, Jay-Z performs some classics from that era with a whole new feel as he’s backed by legendary hip hop group the Roots. Hov thrives in the intimate atmosphere and not only charms the audience/listener with his endless charisma but delivers some of the most inconic performances of his career. Special shoutouts to the renditions of “Jigga What, Jigga Who”, “Big Pimpin’” and “Can’t Knock the Hustle”. Hip Hop
