im definitely doing jay z after this to see how they stack up against each other

this album got me wanting to go back to blueprint

but jay still got a handful i haven’t heard yet
mostly the ones that aren’t considered classics

Hold on, i'm confused with the discography rankings. The other day you had "I Am" over "It Was Written", now you switched it back to having "It Was Written" over "I Am", lol

Was that a mistake that you accidentally made or did you change your mind and think "It Was Written" is better after all?

Content wise Stillmatic is much better than Blueprint

Prod wise I can understand why ppl would argue otherwise

nah i changed my mind just never posted it

discography rankings gonna be loose through this im always changing my mind on stuff

Damn I need be in that thread

I think I like Hov’s best albums more than Nas’ best but Nas has more great albums than Jay

What are your fav Jay albums? Mine are Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album and 4:44

Same but + Blueprint and honestly the Dynasty

The Vol trilogy is pretty hit or miss but the hits With that being said though if Nas hits with KD3 then he surpassed that Trilogy easily

yea blueprint is more fun and poppier but i feel like if stillmatic came out first with ether jay would’ve come with a completely different album

interesting thoughts

it’s all about perspective cause if that was on nastradaumus it’d probably be one of the better songs

just a step below the ginuwine collab

Just do a big ol final ranking at the end like I did.

Cuz it’ll consider to evolve and you’ll reconsider some of your previous opinions.

“Your arms too short to box with God, I don’t kill soloists, only kill squads”

I always try super hard to love Vol 1-3, especially Vol 1 bc goddamn the highs are so good, but the filler tracks just never click no matter how many spins I give em

@op

The warning shot before Ether 💪🏼

Its the return of the Prince, the boss
This is real hardcore, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit's soft

No I feel you 100%

That album has some of his best songs Intro, Who You Wit2, Where Im From

I Know What Girls Like might be the worst song he’s ever put on an album to me

Vol 2 is the worst to me. Cant stand Swizz Beats

I'm the N, the A to the S-I-R
And if I wasn't, I must've been Escobar
You know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed, hair parted with a
Barber's preciseness, Bravehearted for life, it's
Return of the golden child, son of a blues player
So who are you, player? Y'all awaited the true savior

Who you Wit >>>>

nas the goat, stillmatic one of my favorite albums

Magazines say I walked on water, talked to the heavens
Spit at judges, stepped on peasants
But in reality, I just entered your galaxy
September '73, up in these wild streets
F***in' these wild freaks, a harem of hoes (Goddamn)
And my mystique got 'em tearin' my clothes

Smooth ass song

I thought you was just reviewing 20 year old albums.

Now wait a sec', give me time to explain, women and fast cars
And diamond rings can poison a rap star
Was suicidal, high, smoking so much lye
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky

Nah not for me. Illmatic and it was written better than anything Jay has ever been a part of. Also arguably Stillmatic and lost tapes

Respectable

Reasonable Doubt and Black Album will always be too special to me. Agree to disagree on that 🥂
