Where do you rank this in his catalogue

Dope album
Number 3 of my favorite Jigga albums
Damn near a masterpiece

 

[ReasonableMatic]

5 mic album and Top5 in his catalog imo.

Only stain on that album was that GAHBIDGE Wayne added

Bootleg version of Ignorant Ish>>>>>>>

Retail version just felt so hollow in comparison.

masterpiece. One of Hov's classics.

A classic and definitely a top 3 Jay album

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I had been telling people for a while that Jay could make top tier level music anytime he wanted to, half the time he just chose not to. This album was proof of it. You can tell it was an effortless process for him

 

[Piff Perkins]

I still think it's incredibly overrated but I know I'm in a small minority.
