Real Nikkaz, You Must Love Me, (one of Jigga's most emotive introspective tracks), Lucky Me, Streets is Watching? City is Mine is classic Jigga lyrically.

The only really shytty tracks on the album are Sunshine and I Know What Girls Like :scusthov:

To me Vol. 1 hands down best Volume album and aged the best.

reasonable doubt has aged the best
it's nothin' like puttin' that album on and just crusin' through ya city
jay's was his peak lyrically and the beats are smooth and laid back as fukk :wow:

Lowkey , Vol 3 was Jay at his lyrical apex ... some of his best bars are on that CD , even on some of the cheesy instrumentals like "Things That U Do" he was spitting some crazy heat .

Crazed and demonic, uh without blazin chronic
Product of Reaganomics :wow:

Prayed for the Day of Atonement
Married to the streets no date of annulment
It seems every time it comes up
They postpone it
So I kept my chrome at the waist
Waiting for the omen :wow:

I always thought Dynasty was the prequel to what was to come in Blueprint , especially from a production standpoint .. but lyrically and conceptually it surpasses Blueprint easily .. well atleast to me

he had some lines here and there, but overall, even lyrically it's meh
:dahell:
You know I move like an ounce
Bottled up like crack
That's how I make you bounce like that
Defy Webster's words they can't pronounce like that
That's why no other rapper got a sound like that
Trap, trap of my life
Flashback, kill nikkaz
Rap skills unmatched, Jigga man baby
I can't entertain it sometimes I can't explain it
God given, gifts of a soul for hard living
Far be it from me to question Allah's wisdom
Could've been lost in the system
Instead I'm involved with the rhythm
I dodged prison, came out unscathed from car collisions
I know I must be part of some mission
shyt I used take it for granted
Why they placed me on this planet
I would ask myself while writin raps to myself
But right there under my nose
Was the flow of all flows
Not a demon but a rose in the cement, come on

Nicca that's one whole verse of straight heat :what:

Except from

"Could've been lost in the system

but the beats were trash so who cares

Dont know if youre being sarcastic or not.

But i feel that about "Blue Magic" tho IMO. Beat was ass & Jay-Z's flow didnt sound too good and the lyrics were "meh". Horrible pick as a single too.
