[RAW_SPK]

yeah vol 2 has some bangers, plus its the guys fave jay album, not jays "best" album

Jay himself said he had the most fun making that album, and you can tell just from listening to it. it was like a roc-a-fella party

 

[Frida Giezman]

Good interview.

But I won't believe this lip service about all three of them really being cool if they don't do something big for the 20th anniversary of RD

 

[tuckgod]

so because Vol. 2 is his personal favorite album (its alot of ppl's personal favorites) he's a herb?

Not the only reason, but to answer your question, Yes.

thats wack...though i do agree he's corny for other reasons...that not being one of them though

Vol. 2 is cool. It was Jay's best selling album, and it contributed greatly to Jay-Z the iconic, hip hop transcending, pop star. But, when you put that album up against Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, Blueprint, and American Gangster, it pales in comparison as a body of work. In my experiences, people that consider Vol. 2 Jay-Z's best album are usually cacs, casual hip hop fans, fans who value popularity and sales over content, and/or folks who have never really listened to his entire catalog. In essence, herbs.

 

[KG1]

He mentioned he was setting up dispensaries in Cali.

If you made millions in legal money why the fukk you even considering entering a business that is not fully legal and could get you in jail. That's fukking dumb.

 

[re'up]

Personally, my favorite Jay album is 'Vol. 1', and 'Reasonable Doubt', 'Vol. 2' is really up there, because that is Jay at his best to me.....The 1996-2002 years, even close it out a little further, the 96-2000 years, when he had that hunger and grit in his voice and rhymes, and spit mostly hustler music....Yeah, Vol.2 has the most commercial songs, which are also favorites, because they have aged well in many cases, and were part of my younger teenage years....'A Week Ago', is a top 10 Jay song, for me, that whole cadence he had on the album.....If he had held down the album solo, that may have eclipsed his previous two....

yea but you cant generalize everyone who considers that their favorite album as herbs. just cuz its someone's personal favorite doesnt mean they consider it the best in his catalog. its not my personal favorite (it changes from Vol. 1 and Blueprint) but it was the first jay album i remember buying with my own money (my brother gave me the first two joints). people may have personal attachments and reasons for embracing that album more than the rest.

Fam, I don't know how to say this without coming off disrespectfully, but please know that disrespect is not my intention when I say this. When I say herb, I'm speaking on folks who aren't cut from a certain type of cloth. Folks cut from the type of cloth that I speak of have similar experiences, lifestyles, codes, and tastes that others just can't relate to. It's innate, immediately recognizable by folks cut from a similar cloth, and unrecognizable by folks that aren't. Albums like Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, Blueprint, and American Gangster were made to speak to people cut from this type of cloth. Albums like Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were made to sell to people that can't relate. I'll leave it at that. Peace
