Jay-Z's "In My Lifetime, Vol. 1" turns 18 today

[Farrinto]

This is my favorite album of Hov's and his most underrated gem in my opinion. From the intro down to "You Must Love Me", it's a really good album save for some filler.






Those are some of my favorite tracks from the album along with "Lucky Me", "The City Is Mine", and "Who You Wit II". What's your favorite track and what was your reaction when it dropped?

 

[Farrinto]

Some of Jay's absolute best moments as an emcee happened on this album, he went the wrong direction with the commercializing aspect of it sure but the album cuts were damn near all monsters.
