Vol. 1 or American Gangster? Which is the better album?

[Travellin' Man]

What y'all think?

 

[The Gimp]

Vol.1 had more classic tracks

 

[L&HH]

Depending on the day AG is my favorite album ever. The album just flows flawlessly from track to track. Vol. 1 has the better songs individually though

 

[Travellin' Man]

Vol.1 had more classic tracks

Yeah, I think American Gangster flows a whole lot better and I like the production on it on all the songs over than just a few on Vol. 1

My favorite track on American Gangster was Blue Magic

Word?

[The Gimp]

I don’t care what anyone says Sunshine was a banger

 

[Travellin' Man]

I don’t care what anyone says Sunshine was a banger

I actually like that song now

 

[BigTyme Records]

AG is a great great album,

 

[Chip Skylark]

Depending on the day of the week AG can be a top 3 Jay album. Lyrically it could be his 2nd best depending on how you feeling with the black album.

And lets not front like diddy and trackmasters didnt lace jay with the production. Its waaay better than vol 1. Even the lows are better

Blue magic and hello brooklyn >>> sunshine, i know what girls like (arguably the woret beat in jays catalogue and hip hop)

Yall are gonna stop sleeping on American Gangster

 

[mobbinfms]

Vol 1 easily.

 

[big bun]

American Gangster

Damn u @stomachlines how dare u do this. Both albums are 4 mic smokers. I feel Vol.1 along with Vol. 3 are Jay's most underrated work. I cant decide both are personal top 5 Jay albums but I cant choose. I kno with both albums lyrically he kinda had something to prove (vol 1 he wasnt no flash in the pan and true heir to BIGs throne and AG that lyrically he can capture that hustlers essence kinda like a grown man version of Jigga plus coming off Kingdom Come they was saying he fell way off)
