From The Westside With Love
#1 The Blueprint
- as perfect as a Jay album could ever get, truly rapped like the rapper he needed y'all to believe he was... so well that he made y'all re-write the past.

#2 American Gangster
- Period Piece, If Denzel was to pretend he was a drug kingpin who pretended to be Jay-Z...this is the album he would've made.

#3 Black Album
- wasn't the hottest album of the year...But, good enough promotion to make y'all think it was.

#4 Vol. 2
- Thank DMX and Ja for the assist, Hard Knock Life might be one of the most " trust me,this will work" ass hit singles ever.

#5 Reasonable Doubt
- revisionists classic, this shyt wasn't fire when it came out... Kind of like a movie BET showed every 8 hours for the last 25 years to make you think it was wildly popular.

#6 Blueprint 3
- Euro Hov....plus Autotune didn't die

#7 Kingdom Come
- Conscious Jay, trying to make old cool wasn't cool.... but the album cover was dope til you took it out the case

#8 In My Lifetime
- good locker room presence, has intangibles that cant be taught. first in the gym, last to leave.

#9 Vol 3.
- spawned the single that got Jay over in the South... got washed by Chad Butler.... very late 90's album. Left no indication that he could make The Blueprint.

#10 Magna Carta,Holy Grail
- attempt #2 at making being old cool, worked better cause there weren't any awful button ups.

#11 4:44
- Jay never tried harder to make us think an album was dope.... arguably most forgettable album he's ever done. Lasted less time than Jay saying "Not Guilty" after his verses.

#12 Blueprint 2
- Not even Excuse Me Miss could negate 03 Bonnie and Clyde

:comeon:


Agree with you for the most part though. I'm thinking 4:44 could have been ranked higher though.

You’ve been trolling about Jay on the regular since 2007 on sohh, truly a remarkable performance :wow:.

You’re good at it though unlike the dumb smart :flabbynsick: like @Illeye buckmatic and that other sucker posting selfies in a room full of dudes with a wife beaters looking like a fat deebo @Ocean something.

Kingdom Come is underrated. Some interesting introspective tracks. There's some lol worthy attempts at branding (30 is the new 20) but overall I thought ppl shat on it too much.

Reasonable Doubt was definitely fire when it came out. Lyrically, Jay-Z was at his dopest and production was top notch. Brooklyn’s Finest is a street classic W/Biggie. Absurd to rate it his 5th best album. :what:

I actually don’t see anything I’d truly disagree with but maybe flip 4 & 5
