Not his best, not his worst. Probably accurate placement in his own ranking of his albums

He made that list when promoting Magna carter. If he re-did that list Magna Carter wouldn't be on that page at all

So he tried to combine his money talk awkwardly with this psuedo-arty hipster shyt that was big at the time but he just wasn't cut out for it. Camel was showing to Grizzly Bear shows :gucci:

He trend hopping like he did on Vol 1. But, he was 15 years older.

Even the two hits were on some corny stadium rap shyt and he was totally overshadowed by Rihanna and Alicia, to the point where people now don't even consider Empire State of Mind a Jay song. But that shyt was trash anyway.
I'm glad as a Nyer I'm not the only one who feels this way. I HATE Empire State of Mind. It's such a yuppie/gentrified/Yankee fan/ magas in 2009 loved it song.
