How many classic albums you think Jay Z has?

[BlueberryWun]

Jay's good albums are RD, BP.

Average/below average albums are The Black Album, American Gangster

Lukewarm albums are Vol 1

Rest of his albums are wack

The Black Album is better than average.

It's iight nothin more than ok

[TruShit]

BTW, 4 classics is the real answer.

0,1,2?

Reasonable doubt, The Blueprint and The Black Album are classics, definitely. American Gangster and In my lifetime Vol. 1 are just a step below while the rest of his catalogue are respectable efforts. Well, apart from Blueprint 3 and especially the Watch the throne-project.

Actually, taken a few seconds to glance at the albums he has made during the years, it makes me realize what kind of a monster he is with the mic. One of the greatest to ever do it.

Closest he has to 1 is RD.

[testmon112]

He went shit after The Black Album.

Why did you even post this thread when you're just constantly arguing that Jay doesn't have classic albums ? He's one of the greatest MC's of all time, lyrically Reasonable Doubt is on a whole other level but it often gets overshadowed by Illmatic or Ready 2 Die.And The Blueprint is a musical masterpiece, there wouldn't have been a Kanye without it.

Reasonable Doubt and The Black Album

That's it.
