I still wish every artist did this. I wonder where he’d rank Holy Grail now that he’s not marketing it. He crazy for putting that shyt ahead of Vol. 1. I wonder if he’d put 4:44 top 3. That shyt was a monster.

Same here. I’d love to see where Nas ranks his albums.

As for Hov’s MCHG ranking, I just disregarded it for the reason you listed. Would like to see how he feels about now.

When Jay ranked those albums, his reasoning behind the rankings was based on where he was at in life and how he felt when he recorded those albums.

not in any particular order, but separated by tiers

and there are many, many songs on the albums on the last tier that I love. But I skip through those more than the first 2 tiers

Mine switches places between TBA and 4:44, and also between BP2 and BP3.

BP2 is too underrated, like more than 50% is a-grade music, 25% trash and 25 aight. But 50% is like 13 songs.

Hovi Baby
The Watcher 2
All Around the world

I did it my way
Diamonds is forever
U don't know remix

Blueprint 2
Excuse me miss
bytches and sisters

Classic levels on those

shyt even guns and roses and the one with SP. But yeah it was everywhere, not consistent and you should never drop a long album if it doesn't hold the same quality as a short album.
