"Black Album is overrated, always has been and always will be" - Parks

Parks and Ish put Volume 3 over The Black Album

It’s my favourite Jay album

 

[CrimsonTider]

That's how I feel.

"Mike Jordan of rap, outside Jay working (J working)
Now watch how quickly I drop 50"

Is one of the illest bars ever. super layered and effortless. Jay was in a crazy bag in that 97-99 era.

Jay was rapping harder on Vol. 3.

Jay rapping prime was from 99 to 02

jay was peak jay z during the BP2 era

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Vol 3 was kinda ass. Easy the worse of the vol. series

no where close to black album

 

[Sad Bunny]

Damn do they talk about Hov every episode????

I was going to start checking it out again now that it’s back on Spotify

 

[Yayo Toure]

He blacked out on Hovi Baby. Lol. What u think was his most lyrical album? Like how would u rank his albums lyrically?

Lupe blacked out you mean

 

[Lord Beasley]

Joe's recap of insecure series was terrible. Lol

so share with us what was wrong with it?

 

[1thouwow]

Cot damn nikkas really don't be doing shyt for their pops on their birthday?

Is that common?

Yes

 

[HARLEM AL]

Come and get me 1st verse any verse on the black album.

 

[HARLEM AL]

Matter of fact where the fukk is There’s been a murder at one Vol. 3? Wasn’t that shyt on there?

That is by far one of Jay’s illest track.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Jay was a better rapper in 1999 than 2003 but The Black Album is a better album, by far. Vol 3 is basically that bloated late 90s/early 00s big budget rap album. That's where the I Am comparisons come in, but you can compare it to Kiss The Game Goodbye too. Trendy producers, questionable reaches for radio/hoes, mixed with some hard shyt. I think it's a funny nobody talks about S Carter being a wack track/beat BTW. I think Jay gets away with that shyt in part because of how often he was dropping.

And BTW those hidden bonus tracks Swizz did are WACK.

His recap of what happened in the Series was all wrong. Lol nikka said Lawrence was a writer.

i must've missed that. sounded like he said artist....I've never even seen the show, what was his job?

 

[Pop123]

He blacked out on Hovi Baby. Lol. What u think was his most lyrical album? Like how would u rank his albums lyrically?

His most lyrical joint to me was definitely Reasonable Doubt. Idk how I'd rank all of them, but "The Blueprint"...probably his best album musically, is his worst album lyrically to me.
