I Know What Girls Like was a ahead of it's time? Time for what, to throw it in the recycle bin where it belongs? 
Yep, three of these are Top 50 Jiggaman songs.

Questlove defends Vol 1, Jay-Z responds
- Thread starter Optimus Prime
- Start date
This sounds like revisionist history.
I'd like to see proof of that. Because you're basically making the Illmatic --> It Was Written argument and that it one of the most celebrated album from it's actual release date. Not the RD shyt where ppl call it classic years later.
There's a reason Jay did a 360 from RD to Vol 1 back to Street's Is Watching
The shyt almost derail his career and he had to hop on trends until atleast Dynasty (where the modern Rocafella sound was born, IMO).

Sunshine was never terrible
Naw it was terrible.
Sunshine and I know we’re girls like (one of the worst beats I’ve ever heard) should’ve never made the album. They’re automatic skips when listening to Vol. 1

The beat for "Lucky Me" is so ass 
“Where I’m from” alone is better than a lot of albums
Controversy
Superstar
Ppl in Philly rocked with Vol. I heavy...Philly was all in on Jay before he became a success with Vol. II
The 3 most played tracks in Philly were Face-off, Where I'm From & Who U Wit
Who U Wit got heavy radio play

Pass me the rock nikka
It fits the sentimental lyrics of the track perfectly as well as the singing and Jay’s backing vocals.The beat for "Lucky Me" is so ass
What does this have to do with responding to publications with obvious bias though?
?uestlove is not some random nobody. Jay actually respects his opinion, so it's not a surprise that he would respond.
Over people's heads
Corny ass
I know what girls like
Corny ass
I know what girls like
Vol.1 is one or two missteps from being classic but "I know what girls like" is hot garbage
I still can't figure out who that song was even for? bytches didn't like it, heads didn't like it
most jay stans don't fukk with it.....who was suppose to rock with that shyt? song shouldn't even exist
the beat isn't bad nor is the rapping it just makes no sense as a song if quest thinks its was something more
to that shyt he needs to break it down cause I really don't see it
After reading this thread
nikkas who don't like 'Lucky Me" got horrible taste that song is a work of art and the beat is
"Lucky Me" is also the only song Jay said he made as "SC"
his Jay-Z persona is nowhere to be found on the track its one of a kind and fukking classic
oh and anybody who thinks vol.3 is more lyrical than vol.1 is smoking crack that opinion is retarded
Jay even admitted he phoned that album in
its a good seven to ten songs on vol.1 thats the best shyt Jay-Z ever put out
replace sunshine and I know what girls like with these two and its classic!

That beat is hot trash. shyt is garbage
Beat sound like corny ass elevator music
and that song is a perfect example of how Jay usually always sound so empty on his introspective and retrospective songs. Introspective/retrospective songs are not Jay's strong points at all
Jayz does. Only Jay can have 4 to 5 great tracks surrounded by a majority of mediocrity and it be praised. I’ve seen people call BP3 and MCHG as great projects in real time.
