Yeah...I always thought RD and Blueprint were Jay's best albums, with The Black Album coming in at 3rd...iHeartCali

Speaking of his 2nd best albums, its debatable, many would say Blueprint, and quite a few (like me) would say it's The Black Album. :lol: at mentioning  Vol. 1, American Gangster was better than that crap.

What would your top 3 Jay-Z albums look like?iHeartCali

Vol 1 is DOPE. you're buggin hash... AG > Vol 1? noooo way.

and BA does deserve a mention. 

lol blueprint is 3rd? okay :roll:

RD (Best in every category)

Blueprint (Jay-Z's like 4th best from a lyricial standpoint)

BA (2nd Best lyrically imo, Allure alone is amazing from a writing standpoint...)

Vol 1 is DOPE. you're buggin hash... AG > Vol 1? noooo way.

and BA does deserve a mention. 

lol blueprint is 3rd? okay :roll:

elpooz

list of crap songs in Vol 1:

I know what girls like, imaginary player, streets is watching, friend or foe 98, who you wit pt 2, real *****s...etc lol what a piece of **** album...i can't believe you are seriously comparing this to RD. :lol:

Listen bro, Vol. 1 isn't dope, isn't good, isn't alright, isn't mediocre, isn't bad, it is more like a bucket fulla crap

Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album are all pretty much perfect explanations of why I love rap music.

illmatic.iHeartCali

I changed the question to make it towards everyone. I pick Illmatic too.

I prefer listening to Reasonable Doubt more so then Illmatic. Something about that album just can't be put into words. Illmatic is the better of the two but RD is more enjoyable for  me

I can't believe it's never been nominated for cIassic statusToriko42

add it to your list :P

its an obvious one, if someone nominates it, its gonna be 10 straight yes' and one random person is gonna disagree 

honest opinion everyone: RD or Illmatic? Not which one is better, but which one you like more.TheHimura

I'm obviously biased, but Illmatic.

I think it's better, AND I enjoyed/enjoy it more.

Yeah I tend to not mention Reasonable Doubt with any of Jay-Z's other albums in the same sentence.... excluding just now.tbone29

I'd say Illmatic coz it's my all time fav

Illmatic is way up there, Illmatic is in my top 10. Reasonable doubt is a top 20.Toriko42

Reasonable Doubt is a solid album overall, don't get me wrong it has the classic tracks "dead presidents" "feelin it" and "22 twos" but overall, this album has too many skippables and the album just doesn't flow that well for me. I personally enjoy in my lifetime much more.HerbertdaPerv

What tracks do you consider skippable? The only track I skip on the whole album is "Ain't No *****"

Overrated album imo. Great, but not an amazing album of epic proportions.

I've also always wanted to mention, Jay Z critisized Nas for his albums after Illmatic being bad, but imo Jay Z's albums between Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint were just as bad. Thats kinda a different discussion though, but yeah. Good, not GOAT or anything.

Good point. The "one hot album every 10 year average" line was hot, but come on, It Was Written and I Am... are peppered with gems and are overall great albums, far better than anything Jay-Z did until The Blueprint, as mentioned.

The Message, I Gave You Power, If I Ruled The World, N.Y. State of Mind Pt. 2, Hate Me Now (Yea I know...), Small World, Favor for a Favor, Nas Is Like

To me, that is two albums peppered with gems.
