That's pretty obvious
Replace Hello Brooklyn & Blue Magic with Already Home and So Ambitious/Real As It Gets, and there's no reason to ever listen to BP3 again.

So you're just gonna act like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy never came out, huh? Even Graduation was better than American Gangster...

Quality>Quantity..
100 platinum albums means nothing when they have no replay value. Not to say none of them do, but like I said before Jay aint dropped a good ALBUM since Blue Print. You can drop any of that trash about him outselling Elvis or the Rolling Stones, but comparing their music next to each others Jay doesn't stand. Kanye saved Jay's career. If it wasn't for people like Kanye, Just Blaze, and the Neptunes Jay's career would have been ended. Jay can't take a wack beat and make it a good song. I know yall heard Ye's Big Brother song.. Whole song is about Jay biting real ish..

RD
BP
AG
TBA
I listen to regularly, and are all classics to me.
Dynasty, Vol. 1, and Vol. 2 are solid. I don't listen to as often tho
The others are meh.
So i guess 1/3 is meh.

I didn't become a fan of his until TBA, listened to his stuff prior and it was just ok to MY ears, didn't wow me but it was ok. For some reason RD just doesn't jive with my ears, it's ok. I agree it's a classic when the topic is brought up to avoid argument, but in my heart of hearts I don't think it is. Even my little brother said it is and he's 20
. If I'm not mistaken, didn't the original '96 release only go gold? I know it went platinum...eventually. But it took a while. It only did gold in the time it was released in comparison to other albums during that time period that went platinum within weeks of release. I guess that's a better way of putting it.FTR, I listened to RD at work today after reading this thread and still...nothing for me.

American Gangster is one of jays most soulful albums the LP was produced heavy by Puffy thats why some may not get its rhythm but easily in the top 5 jay-z albums for me.

AG is not better than every Kanye Album but im seeing more foolishness from the cats trying to put down Hov's catalog
All comes down to preference but I think ill take Hov's top 4 over Ye's

Jay wasnt "Jay" in '96...I didn't become a fan of his until TBA, listened to his stuff prior and it was just ok to MY ears, didn't wow me but it was ok. For some reason RD just doesn't jive with my ears, it's ok. I agree it's a classic when the topic is brought up to avoid argument, but in my heart of hearts I don't think it is.

He wasnt the big star in hip hop, he took a backseat to Pac, Nas, and Big... among others.

I've been to 4 Jay shows & I've never seen him do 1 AG track :\
I'd love to see I Know, Blue Magic, or American Dreamin live

The slander in this thread is at outrageous levels.
AG is a damn good album. Definitely better than anything Kanye has put out.If you really wanna compare them just look at WTT. Jay outside Ye on every track. The two is not comparable. Hov is a legend. Kanye still writing his book.
Kingdom Come was definitely his weakest album. Guess I'm the only one that really liked Oh My God off it.
BP3 was a great album. I don't see how anyone can think otherwise. All this southern music has turned some of you guys mind to mush. Hatin on Hov like he ain been puttin out classics for 16 summers.

AG was on point. Is it better than all of Kanye's albums? Lyrically? Absolutely. Overall? Nah
Kingdom Come was/is TRASH!
BP3 wasn't anything special either
Black album is a classic
