[NoHalfWay]

Lyrically its better than his #2 and #3 albums (Blueprint and Black Album) so its not farfetched

The Black Album & AG are both more impressive lyrically than The Blueprint.

But the production & songs on Blueprint are so iconic it's just put on a higher level than those two.

 

[ISO]

I never liked this album

In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 is better

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I think it's a dope ass album, I do, however, rank The Black Album above it.

 

[OfTheCross]

could an argument be made for it bein' his 2nd best though? better than blueprint?

@Cloud McFly what you think?

@Buckeye Fever

@OfTheCross

Hmmm...I do enjoy that album. His tour with Mary J Blige was decent too...

But I dunno where I'd rank it ...

May be 4th for me personally.

My favorite Jay album is Vol. 3. Then I gotta give BP1 and RD their love.

I honestly don't revisit AG as much as I do his other work

 

[Kitsune]

after vol 2, jay zs voice went to shyt, people talk lyrics and flow and when mic presence is whats most important and that point he lost it completely. Anyone notice how bad he sounds on that recent Drake track with Kanye, dude had only one bar but it stuck out in the worst way

Naw.
BP1
RD,TBA
other albums better than AG Vol1,Vol2

 

[JayBaldacci]

Vol 1 is easily better even with the hard lows.

 

[Headcase]

I actually think it's better than The Blueprint. Whereas The Blueprint has two skippable joints (That N*gga Jigga and Hola Hovito), American Gangsta has only one (Hello Brooklyn)

 

[ridedolo]

not even mad at that AG was a dope album, and still gets some spins.

funny cuz I'm listening to BP right now

 

[King P]

AG was dope, but nah

It's at best 5th behind RD, BP1, TBA, & Vol. 2

 

[Da_Eggman]

That album was perfect at the time

Every beat and guest was perfect

Every verse was hard

I'd say it's better than BP honestly

 

[Chip Skylark]

It's highly underrated ...he was spitting crazy on it

I agree. Minus blu magic and Weezy singing hello Brooklyn jay was on his shyt. There were no weak verses.

Say hello and no hook are personal fav

1. Reasonable doubt
2. AG/BA
3. BP
4. VOL 1
5. VOL 3
