People call RTD a classic and it didn’t get 5 either. So what nikka? RD not getting 5 mics ain’t even the argument against it. It’s always been about it’s lack of commercial OR cultural impact and it being rewritten as this undisputed groundbreaking album. The album was always fire.

So outta the 95 votes that were on Twitter, 71% picked X album and outta the 90 votes on the Coli so far, 60% picked X album
Twitter and The Coli not that far off.

This board has spent like the last 5 years trying to overcorrect Reasonable Doubt's reception
DMX was more creative and innovative.

this new age revisionist history shyt to make RD seem like it was that much better than what it was is corny. And you can def tell it's being done by cats who weren't even around then to know what it was like.
You exaggerating again
Nobody is saying RD was forgettable, Vol. 1 was trash. I will say Vol. 2 is overrated but it's still a good album.
When you say "got that spot over Nas, Wu, X, Mase" what you referring to exactly?

Get off my dikk lolGoddamn stop being a bytch
Damn, I love both. Damn, that's a tough one. Reasonable Doubt is more my speed when it comes to an album, in terms of the tone/lyricism...but It's Dark really fukked the whole game up and shook the world. And on top of that it was fire. fukk it, I'm going with the Dog.
Nah, you trying to act like there was a consensus Jay was better far as skills than all of them which there never was. And if you talking popularity, DMX was absolutely as big a star as Jay was 1998-2001 then his career fell off due to his mental and substance abuse issues. You can easily argue X was the bigger star during that stretch. Sold more records and was getting lead roles in Hollywood in movies that were actually hits
