nearly 5 years later.. where do YOU rank american gangster on jay's catalogue

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

i'm sayin top 3, maybe top 2. i put it on just now while i was takin a test and damn i forgot just how good this shyt was. beat wise its gotta be top 3, lyrically its fallin only to reasonable doubt and cohesively i think it's the best he'll ever do... the only knock i really have is hello brooklyn. where you at though brehs

thats three albums nikka the hell is you talmbout


let me step back though, i'll say top 3... i can't put it above rd or bp but i kinda struggle with the black album. maybe tied at 3

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

Second best IMO

Both RD and AG sound like movies, each track is like an act and there's no corny ass radio singles to fukk up the flow

I remember when it first dropped and Jay wouldn't let them sell it track by track on Itunes at first cause he wanted people to experience the whole thing. I feel like this was the last time he really put his all into a project
