He has 3 classics, one good album and the others are average.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

Swap Vol. 2 with American Gangster. Then put Vol. 1 under Vol. 3. Then you got yourself a deal, friend.

You have to admire the guts of this though. Not many artists would be able to rank their own catalogue, especially not as critically as Jay does here.
