Picaoso Baby had potential, but Hov dancing with that coffin dodger in the promotional video killed all it's credibility.

Title Track.. is worse han Sunshine from Vol.1.
somewhereinameric i enjoyed, but that's about it. As far as the rest of the album it was a glorified digital hand job to Samsung. Soulless and forgettable.

So... we're just going to pretend 4:44 wasn't Jay's last album?

4:44 I would qualify as classic.

Smile Third Verse should be preserved in the library of congress.

I swear... I heard like 10 different rap songs play in my mind as soon as I played this.

The Carters out now

And Vanilla Ice has a diamond album

Vanilla Ice > Jay-Z and JT

Also Picasso Baby and Sunshine are fire

If we're going to count that, then we might as well count A Written Testimony as a Jay album.

Why would do that lol hov isn’t credited as a lead artist

Alexander O'Neal, goshdamn.
Jam & Lewis were absolutely on fire.

Had been for a few years, in fact, by the time it came out.

His debut album is exquisite too.
