This is a classic album.

Not only did it have classic pop rap SMASHES, but man I was listening to it the other day and looking at the cover and was really appreciating the connection with the futuristic production, which still sounds very fresh today.

Every song is legimately great, no misses on this album

We were so used to a more raw HOV up to this point, more street HOV, but this was really the introduction to the new era 2010's HOV

Mostly trash album with a few good songs bro its ok not everyone has to agree

overhated album. Wait til they come around to MCHG

Also this albums sound is a whole (pun intended) Blueprint for new rappers, whichever good rapper to run with this sound and modernize it will be huge

Nah bro, not 1 trash song on here

Only 2 songs imo get a bit annoying sometimes:

Thank You and Reminder

not classic but not as bad as people make it out to be or even as bad as jay makes it out to be. its better than mchg imo

Literally the WOAT Jay Z era by a mile

Jays rapping is some of his worst & most forced feeling while a lot of the sound n structure on most the project comes off messy & random

I respect it tho

Reminder is my only skip on the whole album. BP3 & Paper Trail pop rap classics

Venus vs Mars - timbo heat

So Ambitious - neptunes spazzed

Already Home - classic ye classic cudi

On to the Next - swizzy went nutso

The beats are something else bro

Imo this is one of the best produced albums of the 2000s, you're bugging bro

Has some great songs, but I just felt like this era, he seemed a little uncomfortable and out of place. Think he was figuring out how to still be at the top while the next generation of artists took the reigns. That’s why WTT is a really important album imo.

Thank You hate?

Thats why I said "sometimes" , cause even these 2 songs still hit

I love Jay but this and MCHG are the personification of this pic

THANK YOU???????

Nah man, BP3 is really so futuristic, nothing else from that time sounds like it

The sound is still fresh today

One of Jays best songs wtf is wrong with this guy

we r really high, really high tonite

There's some cool album cuts on it but in reality it's a bottom tier Jay Z album

Jays rapping just seems off and messy on this album too me, the flows are janky and lyricism is kinda meh, production is hit n miss

Jay was 39 when BP3 dropped and album was like a passing torch to current and younger artists (especially with songs like Star is Born where he’s shouting every one out)

Kinda how I see Donda with Ye being 44 and working with all the younger guys

Ok u def off the kookoo wazoo now bro bro

Hell nah nah nah 😳🤨✋✋

frontloaded as hell, the back half

couple classic singles tho

I agree it has amazing beats and some good rapping but nah not a classic
