It’s actually a very useful design concept. The New York Times Magazine uses it in its layout quite often.

Milissa Tarquini:

Stop worrying about the fold. Don’t throw your best practices out the window, but stop cramming stuff above a certain pixel point. You’re not helping anyone. Open up your designs and give your users some visual breathing room. If your content is compelling enough your users will read it to the end.

Brett Johnson:

“American Gangster,” his tenth studio album, represents Jay’s comeback from that comeback — his chance to reassert himself as hip-hop’s pre-eminent wordsmith and hustler-gone-legal chronicler. This time, he unquestionably delivers the goods — showcasing deft metaphors about his own ghetto ascension and an uncanny ear for dramatic sonic backdrops.

Greg Kot’s “Jay-Z gets his mojo back by riffing on ‘Gangster’ tales“:

The rhymes sound fresher than they have in years because Jay-Z is once again vividly sketching characters and scenes instead of just pounding his chest. He weaves together metaphors about the drug trade, music-making, and relationships that can be read on several levels, the type of multi-tiered rhymes that define great hip-hop.

Glenn Gamboa:

Kelefa Sanneh on Jay-z:

By contrast “American Gangster” gives him a chance to get out of his head. The story of Mr. Lucas — a real-life gangster turned informant who is still alive — gives him license to return to the subjects that really inspire him: crime, punishment and the dope trade.

Rob Sheffield reviews American Gangster:

Forget Frank Lucas: The real black superhero here is Jay, and with American Gangster, Gray-Hova is back in black.

Little Jimmy tries to get big Jay’s attention again. Jimmy please! Your arms too short (your lyrics too weak) to box the God MC.

Live performance of “Roc Boys” on the show. My man Tim can’t get the horn lines out of his head.

The codes are still horrendous.
