if they made a best of Jay album there would only be 3 albums of his to pick tracks from!
Even his worst albums -- Vol. 2 (Hard Knock Life), Kingdom Come (The Prelude), BP3 (Thank You), BP2 (Meet the Parents) -- have classics though man.

This thread has been infested with Jay-Z content
Man Jay is washed up man, the guys sucksssssssssss
That's why def jam buys hundreds of thousands of his own albums

He bites rhymes
He bites logos
He bites book contents(plagiarism)

The guy sucks man, and he put so much talent on the shelf when they could have made dope music that actually got released on another label

where the real hip hop heads at????

SMH at u dudes even mentioning that camel

nas yes, jay z no

and I'ma tell why before jayhova witnesses come to the rescue.

Nas has the capacity to make a best of as good as wu tang. I will say tough it will be more diverse but with less classic tracks, and a wu best of could go on 5 cd 19 tracks each. Nas 3 or 4 cd 19 track each

As for jay z, he could make a wonderful GREATEST HITS but not a best of equaling Nas' or Wu's. And that's a difference. Jay made a lot of great hits in his carreer, a lot of his tracks were topping the charts, so a best of jay would rather sound like a billboard hit parade than a real hip hop classic songs compilation. Great, but not on par with the two others

This is the premise you are using. :what:

So groups are better than solo artists because they have more people rapping? :smh:

If you are making a "Best Of..." isn't the idea to come up with the best songs that could fit on a single disc? It sounds like you are talking about something else.

And are we seriously arguing that Jay doesn't have 20 songs that can compare with other top artists? :scusthov:

Are we seriously arguing that Jay's pop hits are his best songs? :shaq2:

9x more songs = higher chance of dope material. especially when you drop 7 albums that are pretty much classic from 93-97. were talking picking material from like 50 albums vs jay n nas 10 albums. cmon breh:why:

I think you can create one of the deepest "best ofs" using the whole Wu discography, all their albums have at least a track or 2 that can be put on a best of. As mentioned though it's hard to compete with Nas or Jay since their discography is massive.

That shyt really don't make any sense, especially when Jay is arguably better individually than everyone in the Wu (reasonable arguments can be made that Ghost and Raekwon are as dope). As I understand "Best Of..." albums, the purpose is to pick the best of the best from whoever the artist is. It is not about picking every good song that the artist has released. So I'm not talking about Wu's entire discography vs Jay's. I'm talking top 20 Wu v. top 20 Jay. And I'm not even weighing in on who's better, just that there can be debate.

Just from glancing at my Jay-Z playlist, the following can compare to anything from any other great artist, including the best 20 from Wu:

1. Where I'm From
2. Imaginary Player
3. Can I Live
4. Regrets
5. D'Evils
6. In My Lifetime
7. Thank You
8. Party Life
9. Politics as Usual
10. Thank You
11. U Don't Know
12. PSA
13. Heart of the City
14. Lost One
15. This Can't Be Life
16. Anything
17. Friend or Foe
18. A Million and One Questions/Rhyme No More
19. Streets is Watching
20. Dead Presidents

And there's plenty of songs that could replace this "top 20."

I love the Wu. I love Jay. I can see how nikkas can argue either way about who's "Best Of..." is better. :yeshrug:
