Vol.2 is easily one of my favorite Jay albums

People tend to think if the album isn’t a classic it’s trash lol or if it’s underwhelming then it’s complete garbage

And yea Vol 2 damn near a classic. Niggas forgetting about the singles on there. Plus A Week Ago, the intro Reservoir Dogs, It’s Alright. That’s over half the album. There’s no way it can be considered trash

Vol 1.2.3 all classics

None of the Vol series is mid and neither is Dynasty

BP2 and 3 were def average though

Looking back I think it had a lot to do with expectations. WTT era was an amazing period, Ye dropped Yeezus a month before which was brilliant and then we had MCGH with a trailer full of mega producers and thus an enormous hype. I doubt all that hype was met for anyone when it dropped. That generated a lot of hate I guess

And if we're being honest it's not his best work either so I can understand people being underwhelmed

Not a fan of the series.

3 def isn't a classic, to say 1 is a classic you have to kinda reach. 2 hasn't stood the test of time which proves it ain't a classic.

Jay has me lost after RD up until BP

That's where he gets good again to me

MGHG felt like Hov was trying to be Ye

Jay has a handful of bad albums

I’d consider Vol 1, 3, BP3, Dyansty all good to great album not classics

Mid albums are BP2 & MCHG

Then Kingdom Come bad

This is low-key true. He tried to go in that artistic vibe direction

Eh, the LP thing was just a mashup. No original music.

Vol 1 could’ve been the perfect follow up to RD

Intro
Where I’m From
Who You Wit
Imaginary Players
Friend or Foe 98
Rap Game/Crack Game
Lucky Me

Vol 2 - refer to my post on the last page

Vol 3 probably my least favorite in the vol series but got so many bangers. It’s hard to gauge now bc we’re so far removed from the sound but it got

Hova Song intro/outro
So Ghetto
Do It Again
Big Pimpin
Come and Get Me
It’s Hot
NYMP
Dopeman

Again, that’s like half the album

Dynasty got

Intro
I Just Wanna Love U
1-900-Hustler
Can’t Be Life
Stick 2 the Script
You, Me, Him, and Her

I don’t think this is peak Hov overall but I enjoy it a lot. I think delivery wise it’s my favorite era from him. He was so cool back then. Nigga turned 30, threw away his throwbacks and didn’t know how to act lmao

Volume 3 is HOV's most underrated album

Vol 1 damn near great

Dynasty and Vol 3 good/above average

BP2, MCHG, BP3, and KC all average

kingdom come average but has great highs, bp2 is too long with not enough stand out tracks for it to deserve two discs. I'd put those below MCHG

I just remember this album as the one he finessed Samsung for

GOAT

rt

I feel you. Every album had a few great songs, but as an artist he just wasn't all the way there imo. Still an important era bc it made him the star that everyone knows today.

The Carters not a dud sir

so many classic songs u s***ting on here with this post

Plenty of artists have a few good songs per album.

Vol.3 hate

few? those albums got more classic songs than average songs

Disagree!
