In retrospect, "In My Lifetime, Vol. 1" really ain't a bad album at all.

[Cloud McFly]

You Must Love Me is just and at the same time.


Love that song.

 

[RichForever]

Agreed. I never understood the hate on this one at all. Jay was still on the top of his game (outside of 2 songs). One of his best albums.

 

[NigerianDonDada]

Always liked that album

 

[Ohene]

jay's only bad album is kingdom come...MAYBE Blueprint 2 and MCHG.
Every other album is at least 7.5-8/10

 

[I love Latina women]

The beat for Sunshine is one of my favorites on the album.

And Babyface is on the hook!

Love that song.

I didn't appreciate this song until here recently. It is a great song.

What about The Blueprint 3? I still to this day, have never bothered to check out this album. It's the only Jay album I've never heard.

7.5/10

had some bangers and good concepts

 

[Funkadelic]

Right. I guess it's just another one of those songs that gets criticized by the majority that I actually enjoy

 

[Cheech&Chong]

My favorite Jay album and it's really high on my goat album list

Streets is Watching
Where I'm From
Friend or Foe
A million and one questions

4 of his best songs right there. This album was full of bangers.

 

[jj23]

Also, Lucky Me is an underrated hit in my book

Yeah, it's just that it came out post Reasonable Doubt and it was the jiggy and shiny/glossy shyt of the time and it just seemed like the typical track of the time. But it's good. I can put it on and jam to it.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

I wouldn't call this a classic but I'd put it in my top 5 Jay albums

Reasonable Doubt
In My Lifetime Vol. 1
The Blueprint
The Black Album
American Gangster

 

[Farrinto]

Agreed, that's my favorite Jay album.

 

[I love Latina women]

You really do have to applaud Jay for consistently dropping albums. He was giving us new shyt every single year and he always came with a hit!

I loved the "Who You Wit" single which was also from the Sprung soundtrack

Jay was so fukking cocky on this shyt, lol. Classic shyt right here
