Come in here and rattle off albums with a more genuine "classic' standing than Stillmatic/Blueprint

[The Dust King]

Blueprint isn't a top 3 release for Jay? I think it's his second best after Reasonable Doubt...Vol 1 being 3rd.

What are Jay's top 3 releases for you?

mine are in this order
1) RD
2) Vol 1
3) this one is a 4 way tie between vol 2, street is watching sndtrk, vol 3 and vol 3 import.

never really understood how stillmatic and blueprint could be classics

songs on the blueprint that prevent it from being a true classic:

girls, girls, girls, (seriously one of the worst jay tracks EVER recorded. song is corny in every fukking sense of the word)
also thought "song cry" was cringeworthy even though some cats like it


on stillmatic:

basically the last 4 tracks are meh.


and in my opinion if there are skippable tracks the shyt aint really CLASSIC. might be a great album, but it aint CLASSIC


of course the definition of classic changes from person to person, but i dont think either of these are truly bonafide classics.. i used to think so, but upon recent listens, nahhhhhhhhhh. some of those tracks aged horribly

i agree with all of this except 2 things.

first the last 4 tracks on stillmatic cant be meh because poison and every ghetto are the last two. i think you mean the two or 3 before those.

also jay-z girls girls is fiiiiiiiiiire. topic, hook, features, the beat, everything is

Man, I tried to get into them so many times. Especially when they were toted as a companion group to fans of Little Brother.

Yeah, I payed Kno. The joint with the drawing of the woman on it.


Cunninlynguists are ass.

I suppose that was strikes 1 2 and 3 in your book

Have a good day.

That was an odd deduction from a literal observation of a cover. Projecting at all?
