You can't be serious.
Yea Jay made 3-4 trash tracks on that album trying to chase a hit, but he also made 10 of some of the best tracks of his career on that album.
Vol. 2 is more of an example of an album filled with fluff.
Mase admits Jay Z dissed him on Imaginary Players

That's you're opinion and you're entitled to that, just like I'm entitled to mine.
i dont even think vol 1 is better than harlem world... but those 3 vol 1 songs DESTROY the 3 harlem world songs you dropped and its not even a debate... hence why everybody is laughing at you in this thread
I understand why everybody is laughing at my opinion, again, it's cool to now act like Vol. 1 has better songs than Harlem World
But I remember the impact Harlem World had, that Vol 1 didn't.
so it's funny to me when cats act like now all of sudden Vol. 1 is some great album when it really wasn't in 97'.

Vol1, Vol2, Vol3 all have standout tracks and filler garbage.
Vol1 has some of Jay's most cringeworthy musical moments, and that's saying a lot because there's been many over the years.
You're myyyyyyyyy sunshineee.

Hov always had the game plan to go after Mase and Nas.
It was between them 3 for Crown after BIG passed
he let it be known the city was his. I don’t think he saw them as in his way

I like Harlem World better than Vol. 1 too, but there's no need to be drunk in this thread

I haven't had anything to drink since New Year's eve.
What's the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6
Ain't shyt changed, except the number after the dot on the Range
Both had something Hov envied at the time. Mase the effortless charisma and hit making ability. Nas had the undisputed instant classic debut with the massive commercial success on the follow up, that was his idol who wouldn't give him the time of day, not even off animosity, literally just ain't care about him
You Win Perfect
bow down
Jay did no trendsetting all he did was bite styles"Bbbbbbut I'm a trendsetter"
prior to jay z wealth in rap sound obtainable. After jay z every rapper was rich and wanted to be a boss. Dudes even took his writing style
the impact jay had is as big as anyone in their era
Nah. On I Love The Dough, which Jay killed for sure, he talking about $1,500 seats at the Tyson fight while BIG talking about buying homes in unfamiliar places and seeing $5 mil off the single.
Jay's mogul swag was lifted directly from 1997 Bad Boy, there a reason he tried to make a Bad Boy album with Vol. 1
His whole 1997-2003 persona came after LAD and No Way Out
Jay was talking about the fiscal year and tax write offs on his debut
i didn’t know what that shyt meant until I was like 25
RD influenced the hell out of LAD
biggie went from corner boy raps to wanting to be a boss

Jay z almost 30 so insecure about a 19/20 year old Mase
