Both albums brought innovations to the game, both dropped at the same time, both had shots towards each other. Blueprint solidified Jay's name in the game and helped launch Kanye's career, and Stillmatic revitalized Nas' career.

This ends right here, right now.

Blueprint. It was Jay-Z playing when I was coming up. I also still know the hooks to every song.

 

[TL15]

I came in here to say Stillmatic but looking at that Blueprint tracklist

It's one of the albums that you can go through and not skip and it's piff all the way through

Stillmatic has some hitters though (Intro, Ether, Got yourself a gun)

 

[Dirty D]

Very tough choice. Both albums are classic IMO. @ Prodigy getting dissed on both.

I voted Stillmatic.

One thing that always bothered me about The Blueprint was burying Lyrical Exercise as a bonus track after dead air. I'm not a big fan of Girls Girls Girls unless the video is playing either. Ether lowered that song's status in general IMO.

Stillmatic.

Felt like Jay was coasting a little bit on Blueprint on the mic.
Nas wasn't playing around on the mic.
Production wise I'd probably go with Blueprint...

 

[Danie84]

The GOAT album that made Lord Camel tap out and utter VULGAR

@ Prodigy getting dissed on both.

Whichever album has "The Ruler's Back", "U Don't Know", "Heart Of The City (Ain't No Love)", "Never Change", "Song Cry", "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)" and "Breathe Easy" on it

Blueprint has more good songs.

Stillmatic has more interesting rhymes. But that's a given: Nas says more interesting shyt than Jay-Z any day of the week.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

the blueprint... too many memories, from the first time hearing 'you don't know', to buying it on sept 11
