Wait a minute... Jay really hasn't had a classic since 9/11/01????

[Juliano Soprano]

you're pushing it.

Personal preference

 

[keon]

Imo, even RD is a debatable classic...its not fukkin wit illmatic,the chronic,doggystyle,e.99,MATW,Cuban Links,makaveli album,Paid in full,etc..


Jay has a few good/very good albums thou

 

[TheNig]

American Gangster saved that nikka's career. shyts a classic no doubt.

 

[Gifted one]

His only legit classics is RD and BP1, AG and TBA are great albums though

 

[cleanface coney]

i still dont know how Jay Z lame ass pulled off The Black Album

 

[JulesWinfield]

Lol at Watch The Throne being top 10 anything.

 

[Big Mel]

Blueprint is the most hyped up "classic" ever. what a boring "classic".


i think Freeway & Diplomats put out more grassroots level bangers than his or 50's hyped up albums.

Whats worse is that he did it twice...

People forget that Vol. 2 was his original "retirement album"...That's how he promoted it and if you read the album credits he's saying his good byes to everyone...

Him and Scarface have that in common....

 

[Never Broke Again]

RD, BP & Black Album are classics

these are facts

American Gangster is a great album but aint a thing classic bout that shyt

 

[mortuus est]

 

[Izanami]

BP3 is classic

Is this going to be the consensus to how nikkas feel about Jays last solo effort. I feel like there isnt a high standard anymore for Jay. If BP3 is acceptable I officially lost faith in Jay dropping anything noteworthy as a soloist.

LIG is arguably the best Nas album since Lost Tapes. It easily ranks high in his cataloge. While BP3 doesnt rank in high in Jays cataloge. Its not even better than BP2.

[Awesome Wells]

The Black Album is definitely a classic.
