most people wouldn't put that in his top 5 albums

i say its easily 4 and could argue 3
It was my soundtrack in middle school.

But i would put

RD
BP
AG
TBA
and even dynasty above it.

Probably 4:44 and bp3 as well.

"Like I put the toast to ya head and made you sell
We both came in this game, blind as hell
I did a little better, had more clientele
Told you put away some cheddar, now you cryin' for bail" :wow:

Jay been telling nikkas that's in that life to put some money away. Only a few listen :ufdup:
This all the way. BEEN droppin dimes in his music.

This was probably the song, or one of them, that made me such a fan of Jay, at a young age, even if I didn't realize exactly why. The intensity, contempt, rawness in the lyrics, and the haunting beat....Real shyt I grew up on Jay's music, I listened to all that like it was gospel. Put that Hard Knock Life cover poster on my wall....

It's up there imo, Top 10-15.

"Regrets" is still far and away Jay-z's best song ever to me...I don't even think whatever's 2nd is close. "Allure" is 2 or 3.

The talk on them 2 records is some next shyt...first-person reflections, cant talk like that just lying like a regular rapper.

D'evils might be #2
