If not for the filler that was I know what girls like and a few other joints, Vol.1 would had been neck & neck with Reasonable Doubt.
I actually play Vol.1 more than any other Jay record besides Reasonable Doubt tbh.
The last 4 bars on Imaginary Players was just nasty....
I know a lot of NY nikkas that were Puff wannabes balling on a budget had to feel salty when this record came out.

yeah, he shytted on a lotta folks egos with that shyt.
For real. Whole song it seem like he had the
"I was wearing that platinum shyt when yall nikkas thought it was silver nshyt."
I;m not gonna lie, up to that point, sure I had heard plenty of raps about jewlery and benzes/lexuses with the TVs in it and nikkas moving hundreds of ki's in a day while standing on the corner ()
But all this platinum, cristal cartier jet talk was totally new to me.
And he was so matter of fact with it, you know he wasn't lying. No really hyping it up, just talking to you like "look, man...."
plus in my mind at the time (and a looooooootta other folks, but few will admit it), he was still just "Jay-Z the Mid-Tier Rapper". How was we supposed to know he had it like that!?
(even a while later, DMX's "lookit all these off brand nikkas/running around talking like they holding figures big as Jigga's" had me like "wow, Hov got it like THAT!?")
this song and his blazay attitude about it passed over me like a fog, left me sitting like

This is probably my favourite Jay track. He fully displayed an ultra instinct level of arrogance that can only be achieved if you really have it like that.
