Is it just me, or has it been a really long wait for Jay-Z to actually release this latest album?  Well, it looks like it’s been worth that wait.  ’Jay-Z: The Hits Collection — Volume 1′ will debut on November 23, this happens to be the day after Kanye West releases his latest, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.’  Booooo.

Jay-Z is treating us well for being patient.  You will have options when you purchase this album.  There will be regular CDs and a vinyl version.  Plus, there is a Deluxe Edition package and Box set for collectors!

The Deluxe set is supposed to have five unreleased songs on it.  That alone makes it worth the extra cash.  I am thinking that the vinyl would be a fun edition to own as well.

So only about five more weeks left to wait. Goodness!  That’s going to be Christmas shopping time!  Stocking stuffers anyone?
