How is jay in top 5 if he only had 3 classics out of 20.

[the cac mamba]

im a nas stan if anyting but at DR and LIG bein classics

Jay really only has one true classic that can't be argued and that's BP.

RD is up for debate because it's a revised classic.It wasn't causing all that much uproar when it dropped back in '96.That was just Jay and his marketing schemes going back to the future on some Marty Mcfly shyt.


I'm just speaking on the consensus.BP is Jay's most recognizable album.He grabbed the streets and the commercial side of the biz with that one.Personally, while I do think RD is a revised classic, Jay was at his all time best on that album IMO.

thats how i feel...2 classics. a couple more dope albums (american gangster, black album).

everything else is average and bland or uninspired and wack

How u gonna even put the Dynasty in the discussion?..ESPECIALLY over Reasonable Doubt...Jay has 2 AT BEST..

Dynasty is a personal classic
RD wasn't a classic when it came out and it isn't a classic now

Dynasty is a personal classic to u yes..ur right..RD wasn't a classic when it dropped..but it DEF has a better case than Dynasty will EVER have..u can't be bringing up personal classics and then shytting on RD for not being a legit classic..makes no sense..

Alright, Dynasty isn't a classic. Jay only has 2 classics: BP and Black Album.

Wow this board hip hop section is trash, nothin but troll threads

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

[PHamm]

Dynasty
Blueprint
Black Album


Reasonable doubt is not a classic and all them other albums was doo

The Dynasty a classic ? rotflmao you stanleys are too much

 

[Don Homer]

American Gangster is a classic, but yeah. nikka has TOO MANY potholes in his discog

 

[tybo]

fukk off go suck Jays dikk

You do realize this is the most accomplished nas Stan on the net, right?

 

[infamousred]

the both of them only have two classics each anyway. i remember them more for their skills than their albums. i'd say illmatic and rd are the only real essentials. i couldn't live without illmatic.

 

[Luke Cage]

I definitely feel like Jay Z is highly over-rated. Reasonable Doubt is a classic for sure, and is ranked my #2 album of all time (behind Illmatic). The Blueprint and Black Album are the only other albums I really like by him, and I consider them pretty good albums, but I'm not sure I would consider them classics - they just don't stand out that much to me and have some skippable tracks.

which tracks are skippable?
