What d'you mean how does it make sense? Was it that complicated for you?

Also how the hell you say Jay had ONLY 2 classics as if that isn't an achievement? How many rappers you know got more than 2?
When I said those are the only 2 albums that could be considered classics i was being very generous

look at the other albums that was released in 96 ...... this nikka wasnt even mentioned amongst the best

Compare Illmatic to Jay best album .... NO CONTEST

Compare IWW to Blueprint .... NO CONTEST

Surely this overwrites Jay as being anywhere near the GOAT

But Illmatic isn't a no contest victory over Reasonable Doubt....pretty close imo but Illmatic better

and I prefer Blueprint over IWW by a small margin

come on man those 2 albums are certified and Black Album has an argument

but I do agree RD wasn't the best of 1996...probably got 3/4 albums that year that were better

Cube is my GOAT and Ghostface is my 2nd best, then Reggie and then Jay
I respect that top 5 my dude, but Jay is where it stops

Cube was political, rapped about real everyday life hard struggles to deal with
Ghostface was a straight up G and spat abstract art in from of lyrics, but also spat very real lyrics (impossible)

Reggie talks for himself

but Jay?! I dunno man ... I cant ever understand a dude putting him in top 5, hes not original and no the best at what he spits

He's never been the best in any given year but he's always been around the top. First team NBA for the last God knows how many years, but never the MVP if that makes sense.

Dude is amazing man, you can't take that away from him.

Common rounds out my top 5. What's yours?

Fam ... any hip hop album in internet history will have Illmatic in their top 10 .... RD is rare to see in anybodies top 10 albums of all time

I dont understand Blueprint being over IWW in any sense:

Nas had mobb deep, the firm, Dre, Lauryn Hill on his album my dude .. and the production was CRAZY

Jay had very hard tracks on Blueprint but there was alot of skippable corny guitar tracks on that album and he spat about corny shyt lets not deny this please

My top 5 is:
Nas
Pac
Ghost
Prodigy
5th place continuously changes as I rate Wu Tang as a group very hard but I dont wanna put more than one wu member in my top 5

So 5th Id go with Cube on a neutral vibe

I always put Big Pun over Biggie also so it may even be Pun rounding off the top 5

We gonna have to agree to disagree breh

I wasn't feeling IWW production all the way compared to Blueprint's...and yeah that album had some iffy shyt but it sounds glorious

and I don't have Illmatic in my top 10...it is what it is, I find other albums on the same level more interesting

but anyway much respect, we're both Ghost stans so we have common ground hah

I respect it bruh ... It sounds crazy to me but knowing that you know real hip hop and real shyt I cant compain or front

Everybody has their niche and own vibes they agree on in hip hop but I just have a very hard time understanding Jay being in top 10 of real nikkas lists ... To know you wouldnt put Illmatic in your top 10 is crazy man ... let me know what ur top 10 albums is fam
