Blackstar IS NOT fukkING with Watch the Throne in anyway. Nocturnal isnt either. If you wanna count OB4CL (a reach) the it is obviously.
ATLiens is debateable to me
Hell On Earth,
OB4CL,
Dah Shinin
The Infamous
Riding Dirty
Midnight Maurauders
ATLiens
Aquemini
only albums in the discussion. I'll take Watch the Throne over all except the first 4 i listed.
You can't speak the truth on the coli, they gon think you weak

Fukk your corny debates
He hasn't had a classic album since Reasonable Doubt. People overuse the word classic. The only solo rapper with more than one classic is Rakim imo. And KRS if you call his BDP stuff solo.

AG was a personal classic for me.....I think what made it so good was he had a theme and for most of the album he wasn't talking about himself.. He was talking about a fictional drug dealer which allowed him to step away and have much broader perspective..It took him back to what he does best "D'Evils" era commentary...
TBA can never be labeled a classic if listened to in the context of reality...If he really retired after it then maybe it could be in the discussion..But in hindsite it just sounds like a collection of whiny songs about how he was quitting and taking his ball home because people didn't love him enough (but he really didn't mean it)...It goes down as the biggest attention whoring move in the history of the culture...
Songs like "Encore" and "My 1st Song" no longer have any real meaning... It's just a collection of random noises...
How can you make "What More Can I Say"? Then continue saying more of the same sh1t for the next 15 years?

lol hell no i disputed the top 10 statement. WTT is easily in my top 25 ever though
WTT was euro trash. I listened to it once or twice then threw it in the bushes.

yeah, RD is the only classic for me. BP impact makes it a classic, and has classic tracks, but like most jay albums, a lot of filler and skippable tracks. to be fair, a lot of jays best isht aint even on his classics. VOL 1 has a lot of his best songs. but no one sees that as a classic album.
jays last great year was 2003. S.carter mixtape was excellent, and TBA had moments although its not a classic to me. i dont even like 99 Problems, that some white poeple music.
his post retirement music though is embarrasing. he seems unsure of himself. AG is not as god as people hying. he still aint abandoned the whisper flow completely.
give me 4 classic songs on AG?
