SONG OF THE WEEK: Jay-Z

Jay-Z's comeback single "Show Me What You Got" (Roc-a-Fella) is built around a silky horn solo and some flashy flourishes that sound like a less serious continuation to "Encore" from "The Black Album." Like a lot of Jay's lead singles, "Show Me" plays like the appetizer to the album's main courses - even opening with a sly, half-joking apology, "What you want me to do? I'm sorry. I'm back." It's a charmer, but it also suggests there's more to come, making us wait until "Kingdom Come" drops on Nov. 21 before Jay shows us what he's got going on.
