Both Nas and Jay got decent discographies
Spin: When did you finally realize that Jay Z's discography is borderline trash?

Hell naw breh. Black Album you can argue is just as good as Stillmatic, but American Gangster? Don't sully both Nas and Jay's good names like that propping that album up like that.
I'd say two. RD and BP.

Vol 1 is way better than BP3Blueprint 2 and MCHG are definitely weed plates but I think Blueprint 3 gets slagged too much. The
It's Vol. 1 status for me. Their are some genuine duds but its best tracks keep me coming back.

How am I bugging though? I told everyone from jump that I'm a Jay fan and he's one of my favorite MCs ever. Which is fact. Why I gotta be bugging to point out that he has a good amount of mediocre or outright wack albums, bro?
And of course this is a response thread. That's why I put "spin" in the title.
Lucky Me is dope. One of my top ten Hov songsAnd that song where he was practically crying about not being able to go to a club because if he brushes up against a woman she'll sue

No, I just think that as a white guy in a black culture it's bullshyt for you to try and ostracize others from the hip-hop community because of their differences by making them feel uncomfortable with epithets and slurs.like i just coined that phrase an hour ago
must have touched a nerve tho
Not to mention you didn't add anything relevant to the discussion.
2 nikkas flossing on dubstep beats elevated to classic status because they mentioned being black a few timesWatch the throne was

Jay told nikkas "it's not biting, it's paying homage", then.....BOOM....suddenly, biting is the new wave.
I'mma big Jay fan but there's some truth to this thread. Like, BP3 really is NOT a classic to me, not by any stretch. And I always had a problem with Jay making "American Gangster" and saying it was "his own personal soundtrack to the movie" when (a) he TRIED to actually get the soundtrack and the movie execs crapped on the idea, and (2) he REALLY just made that album to quiet the backlash that he got for making "Kingdom Come", as most weren't ready to hear a "mature-sounding" Jay-Z at that point. I know he did it to save face but it just came off disingenuous.
But there ARE some hidden gems on some of the lackluster albums, just depends on personal affinity. Like, this will ALWAYS be my joint, I don't care what nikkas say (just listened to it earlier...but the original version, not this b.s. here, which is the only link I could find):
Also, one thing I never understood....why is Jay throwing up Dogg Pound Gangsta on the cover of BP2? Nobody else ever caught that? That's THEIR gang sign....
