not a classic, stop calling every decent/good album classic

Officially? As in y’all just realizing this?
He meets all the checkmarks from lyricism balanced with hits along with the ability to give you quotable braggadocio, introspection and substance. Add in that no rapper has ever been as relevant as he is for as long as he has or raps at the level he does at his age (uncharted waters in the history of the genre). And his interviews are hotter

Jay E had more verses on the album and even produced most of it, plus it's his artistic vision, but somehow it's a Hov album

vol1 is overrated af, it has exactly three classic songs

Lucky Me
Where I'm From
A Million

you got two absolutely terrible and I mean dogshite tier songs (Girls Like and Sunshine) which is why I can't take anyone calling it a classic seriously, then you got like 3-4 more good songs and the rest is decent/mid

and vol2 and 3 aren't as good as vol1

I love Vol 1 & 2. 2 especially.

I can see the appeal I loved vol1 back in the days but over time I kinda changed my mind on the album. Gotta say that Lucky Me is one of my favorite Hov songs tho

Everyone has different taste, nothing wrong with that at all my man.

what's your favorite hov album?

Jerry Seinfeld

5y

Depends on my mood tbh

I go back and forth between RD and Blueprint

aLIEN

5y

same gotta say RD is the better album for me but BP means more to me personally, it was one of the first albums that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop (and Kanye), it's also my most played Hov album

Jerry Seinfeld

5y

That’s funny bc it’s the opposite for me
I look at BP as the better album but RD was the first Jay album I ever heard, it has my favorite Jay song, and a lot of nostalgia to me.

What song are you talking about? I was hella young back then, Blueprint was my introduction to Hov cuz I loved the cover art, I remember that I really fell in love with Never Change, one of my favorite Hov songs of all time, that was before I listened to a Kanye album, little did I know...

Jerry Seinfeld

Oh I was too young for RD the first time I heard it There was way too much knowledge for me on there at the time. Half of it probably still flies past me.

And i was talking about D’evils. Never Change is one of my faves too. Classic.
