The Blueprint is Jay-Z's best album, not Reasonable Doubt.

RD beh

Alot of you squares wouldn't understand them dope boy scriptures

 

[Easy-E]

I gotta admit, Jigga that nikka is butt. That beat sound so cheap now. And then Jay-Z saying gnarly.

How it got left on the tracklisting and they had Breathe Easy as a hidden track I don't know

blueprint was just the industry and newers fans giving jay-z the forced presidential album rollout that they know they should've gave reasonable doubt.

blueprint is really a borderline classic, being passed off as an all-timer.

like I said, it was pretty forced, then they had to turn around and give a similar rollout to stillmatic, due to the circumstances. and stillmatic definitely isn't a classic.

Blueprint is the gold rollie of hip hop & sets the standard for a truly great emcee its a reason hip hop critic's claimed jada & fab could potentially construct their own

The closes to come to a blueprint level album is ross

[Alpha Male]

lyrically RD is his best album.

musically BP is his best album.

overall TBA is his best album.

 

[who killin it?]

@ people in here really calling 4:44 and AG classics

HKL ain't really classic either.

It's RD, TBP and TBA... that's it. with the reaching. y'all really have low standards.

 

[Theodoresolderbreh]

all facts

 

[BmoreGorilla]

nikkas really in here saying Jay got 6 classics

Btw Vol 1 was him at his best lyrically

 

[prophecypro]

blueprint easily

 

[darealvelle]

Reasonable Doubt was jigga at his peak lyrically imo. Blueprint is second to it though and i wouldnt argue with anyone that said it was his best neither.
