Ranking Jay-Z Albums

[Marzupial]

I personally like kingdom come is not a classic but is not that bad really

Dig a hole(pause) is my shyt

 

[Big Mel]

444 a 2?
American Gangster 3.5?
The Black Album 3.5?
Blueprint 3.5?

You on that crack.

4:44 is actually a 1.

Blueprint has weak bars and okie doke beats in spots.

Black Album has aged horribly.

American Gangster sounded great when it came out. Haven’t played it in mad years.

[CrimsonTider]

Why do people like Vol 1?

It’s his worse produced album and features some of the worse songs of his career

I think KC isthe one worse than that one, maybe MCHG too
