RD is a retrospective classic not a real time classic

 

[Braman]

Illmatic, Stillantic, reasonable doubt, Blueprint are locks

For they last one I give IWW the edge over Vol 2

Edit: I forgot about Lost Tapes in order:

1. Lost Tapes
2. Stillmatic
3. Reasonable Doubt
4. Illmatic
5. Blueprint

Lost Tapes to me is the greatest rap album ever.

And Stillmatic at 2. Yea. More then any of their albums the way that album has aged does something to me man.

 

[mobbinfms]

1. Illmatic
2. It was written
3. RD
4. Stillmatic
5. Vol 1.

 

[Slim Charles]

If lost tapes counts

Illmatic
RD
IWW
Blueprint
Lost tapes

If it doesn’t then Stillmatic comes in

 

[Krs2]

I can listen to reasonable doubt without skipping a song nor get bored

Can't really do that with none of those other albums

 

[Regular_P]

1.) It Was Written
2.) Illmatic
3.) Blueprint
4.) Reasonable Doubt
5.) King's Disease 3

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

You had to have either been an adult or in high school when Illmatic dropped in 1994

Just think. Before streaming, before digital music, the Illmatic leak was so bad the had to release it early with only 9 songs on it.

Everything surrounding Illmatic > Jay Z's catalog.

I think Jay was at his sharpest lyrically on RD but there are some less than stellar moments on RD in terms of the production - overall I think The Blueprint, the Black Album and AG are better in terms of the beats. Does anyone still really play the track with Foxy?

 

[Cuban Pete]

imo:

1. Illmatic.
2. It Was Written
3. The Blueprint
4. Reasonable Doubt
5. The Black Album

If The Lost Tapes counts, I would slot that in at #5 but i don't think it should.

1. Illmatic
2. Reasonable Doubt
3. IWW
4. OG I Am (I Am+Nastradamus+Lost Tapes)
5. In My Lifetime Vol. 1

Thats mine

Funny thing is, you literally have to do that … and they still don’t surpass a rapper who they’ve had 28 years to surpass. More time to surpass that rapper than that rapper was alive

you can make a ‘best of’ album
from that rappers posthumously released catalog and it will definitively and quantifiably exceed their ‘best of‘ album

You can chart out the highs and lows of both of their catalogs and it’d look the same

Who are you referring to?

I like the track with foxy it's entertaining and they got great chemistry. Imo having better beats or production is kinda irrelevant because the lyrics and flows on RD are too nice.
