the best coast
reasonable doubt or blueprint no question. hip hop heads would say reasonable doubt, more casual fans would say blueprint.

some of those black album beats did not age well

Blueprint IMO...I think Jay peaked with this one. It showed everything...maturity, top quality production, good rhyme scheme and diversity in subject matter. You pretty much got the full spectrum of Jay from RD, to Vol.1-3 all rolled into one.

But it's been downhill ever since then.

The only one I can really listen to is The Black Album. It's his most personable, the only one where he displays confidence but not to the point of a$$hole-ishness; and the only one where he isn't really trying to fit in with the trends. Lyrically and musically, it's the most cohesive. Of course there are tracks on it I can't stand; Dirt off Your Shoulder, Justify My Thug are ehhhh and the last verse in What More Can I Say is just trash.

He only really has 3 contenders - Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album...maybe American Gangster but as years pass, I find it less tolerable.

reasonable doubt is easily the best mixture of lyricism and production. next comes the blueprint. after that? upload them to the computer and cut down every single one of them to 10 tracks or less.

I still cant fathom how anyone could put Blueprint over TBA or RD...Hell or even AG

Top 3 Jay albums easily :obama:

Okay so ur sayin u allow BP or BA and then say the rest are carried by production but the irony lies in the fact that AG lyrically destroys BA and BP and BP is carried by its production heavily

But who am I to look for something concrete in the opinions of a cac hipster:smugbiden::yeshrug:
