Y'all say the same shyt about nas and his discography in the same boat. :manny:

This was a spin thread because there was a thread saying Nas discography was trash, which is bullshyt. A strong argument can be made that Nas has the best discography out of all the GOAT level MCs.

I just realized I only like 4 Jay Z albums and those are Vol. 2, BP, BP2, and The Black Album. So yeah Jay's discography is kind of trash. I still think he's a dope MC tho, but definitely not the goat.

And that's all I'm saying in this this thread. Jay's an incredible MC but I find it funny as fukk that nikkas will try to heavily scrutinize his contemporaries for their discographies yet totally disregard that Jay got at least...AT LEAST... 5 albums that is pure BASURA. Nobody else in the GOAT talk would get away with that shyt. Let's be objective here.

Yeah, you can't be the goat with that percentage. He definitely has more bad albums than good. Even if that wasn't the case tho his skills as an MC would prevent me from calling him the goat as well. Like I said he still a dope as fukk rapper, but he still lacks something imo.

Trash? Nah, he has too many highs for me to agree with that. But the narrative that he has the best discography is a bit much because he has his fair share of mid and duds. I don't bother arguing with nikkas though because they're just gonna "in your opinion" you to death with revisionist history.

Trash is kinda hyperbole in this case but let's be real: any other GOAT level MC has as much mediocre and/or trash albums as Jay and that shyt would be brought up ALL THE TIME.

Jay's albums are very hit or miss for me. Especially those volume series of albums. He has some flat out songs that didnt age well. Reasonable doubt, blue print, american gangster are his highlights. Misses magna carta, kingdom come, blue print 3, a good amount of blueprint 2, the r Kelly albums. At this point people just give Jay the default goat discography and title. In my opinion nas discography has aged much better. If you listen to illmatic, it was written, I am, gods son, stillmatic, lost tapes life is good, untitled, distant relatives and kings disease they all sound good and age appropriate. Even those 90s to early 2000s projects.

Agreed. I've even argued with stans that an album like BP3 was garbage and they were calling it a classic :skip:
