Spin: When did you finally realize that Jay Z's discography is borderline trash?
- Thread starter Billy Ocean
- Start date
Ain't nobody come in here yet and name the Top MC who has more dud albums than Jay.
I wonder why?
I wonder why?
I named his straight up garbage albums in my first post, breh. Do you read threads or do you just skim through em?
And yea...most weak rap albums have at least a few songs that are gems. Doesn't make the album good tho.

agree to disagree.
when you say "duds" you're talking about sales or critical duds
serious question, just trying to get a gauge on what you mean

Hov is one of my favorite MC's, but he definitely has albums that haven't aged well.
Thing is, he's always had classic tracks on average albums. And he was dropping an album a year at one point, so he wasn't going to be able to drop perfection every time. Save for like Kingdom Come and MCHG, dude has classic records on every album. But there are definitely some joints that I hear today, and realize that I can't really get with them anymore. LOL!! But at the time they dropped, they were my shyt.

What do you consider Nas' duds, Miki?
OP won. Facts is facts, bro
Vol 1, BP 3, Black Album, Kingdom Come and MCHG can be debated....a lot of people have issues with them.......BUT
Bluprint 1, Reasonable Doubt, Vol2, Vol 3 and American Gangster are almost unanimously considered as really good albums.
Thats already half his catalog as certified piff. even if the other half is 70% trash. Thats still very impressive. Aside from LL no one comes close. Its one of the longest sales runs in rap history.

Again, I don't care about sales. I'm just talking about quality. Even if I give you that only 50% of his albums are mostly trash then that still is SUPER inconsistent. Half his shyt is deleteable.
