If we're gonna call it the Gold standard for good albums made by rappers who should be passed their prime, maybe. If that's how you wanna sneak it into the classic discussion.
But in the context of Jay-Z's own discography, I dont think it holds the same weight as The Blueprint or even a Vol 1 if we're strictly talking impact and influence
A rapper finding his/hers prime again, letting go of who they were, letting go of pretending to be on the same page as the new kids and ageing with grace.

where would you rank his raps on it? I could put Reasonable Doubt, AWT, and possibly 4:44 as equal

if 4:44 had a better
cover art i might go
to bat for it moredunno what hov was
thinking with that onecoulda been his GOAT cover
Jul 25, 2020It’s top 3
Jul 25, 2020·1 replyyea
Aug 20, 2020DEL_245No but it’s top 4, a classic and close to being a masterpiece
RD, BP and especially TBA are all better
Aug 20, 2020its in his top 4 at least. for me reasonable doubt is his best album by far
Sep 2, 2020gnocchi dokeyyea
Sep 2, 2020PlatinumNope, A Written Testimony has his best raps, even though hes only heavily featured on that album
Definitely not but he was entering a new level on that album.
I can't wait to see what Hov does next.

Don’t agree personally but thinks it’s a valid take tbh, know im setting myself up for disappointment here but given the combo of 4:44 and AWT part of me feels like his next could be his best
