Didn't say mediocre.
But Kingdom come, magna carta, blueprint 3. Those albums are absolutely horrible and shouldn't be ignored just as ppl will never ignore Nastradamus, street's disciple, Nasir.
BP3 had like 2 bad songs, the one with Nas and the one called Venus something. Scratch that, 3 songs, the one with Drake too.
KC had like 2 bad songs too.
Nas stans try this with every album and hope that it sticks.
You call every Jay album that isn't a classic wack. That's like calling nearly all of Nas discography wack like Jay did, everything that isn't a classic.
The main criticism with KC was that he was sounding too rich, too grown and uninspired.
It's his 2nd worst album but far from wack.
MCHG is his only wack abum, one could say BP2 too because 30 % was filler just like most 25+ song albums minus Pac, Big and Wu-tangs.
And with Jay he probably made those 25 songs in 2 weeks.
