I agree with dreClark. Mods actually need to positively contribute for once and sticky an Official GOAT Discussion Thread. Keep this nonsense from clutteringthe forum.

Honestly there is nothing Jay-Z can do that Ghost can't do better.
I don't get why people fail to mention him when it comes to greats.
Because of songs like 'Nutmeg'.
The thing that makes Ghost so great to listen to, is the same reason why people don't put him up amongst the greats

That's true and all, but you gotta remember it's not about how fast you come out the gate but how you finish down the stretch or how you cross the finish line.
I get what your saying fam on some "slow and steady wins the race" type steez, but the way Big overshadowed him at the time, I didntbelieve Jay would have made it down the stretch if Big was still around. But that's just me.
It most certainly was not simply 'A regular old NY rap album that big was on'. May not have been on some 36 Chambers type $*@*, but don't act like it was on soe Fat Joe - Don Cartegena type $*@*
Honestly fam in NYC at the time it really was. Only differnce with DC is that Jay is obviously a better rapper than Joe.
He said Death Row smashed Bad Boy not West Coast smashed East Coast. Death Row + DJ Quik + Ice Cube + MC Eith= West Coast during that time. EastCoast= Bad Boy +Wu + TS + BCC + Countless classic acts. So of course the East had more classics.Originally Posted by Harlem On The Rise

You made a FEW good points...(maybe decent) the one thing I did have a problem with was the Deathrow smashing Bad Boy...
Do me one better.... Name 10 artists that went Gold or Platinum from 88-93 on the east coast... Now from 94-98 do that same thing... And compare that to the west... Since Death Row was "smashing" Bad Boy and all...
Didn't Ready To Die outsell Me Against The World while both Pac and BIG were livin??
After BIG kicked the door down for the east, the tide of hip hop changed... Death Row did their #s but NO one outside of that camp and its affiliates was movin units like that... Post 1994 East Coast hip hop, damn near everyone was goin GOLD, where 2 years prior they were being outsold 2 to 1 by west coast artists... I'm @ work but someone can look up the #s and check for validity...
Jay is my man, but even him being this GOAT yall say he is, he can't even keep the east alive... Him and all his popularity... Meanwhile BIG revived the coast back in the 90s when people were actually making quality music... The east coast survived off of the templete LAD laid down, and Jay Z modled his career after it... Listen to his albums its CLEAR... With all his money, popularity and all he couldn't bring back the east... BIG did that 15 years ago.... That's strictly FACT...

+1
Reasonable Doubt was underated, but def not a reg album at that time...
i may be a lil older than a lot of yall so i remember that summer...
Aint no n'__ feat foxy was in every car radio and CD player...[ i never really liked that song]
When RD dropped me n my boys sat for like 4 hrs listening to it over n over...EVERY SONG IS SICK
Just because it didnt sell record numbers is misleading. PEOPLE WERE REALLY FELLING THAT ALBUM..
But wouldn't that automatically make it more than just a regular old NY album?Originally Posted by dreClark

Hov in your top 10 now huh, we must be sayin sometin right.
yes dog its all opinion youre 100% correct.
I just felt like you were saying, because HOV brags non-stop that EM was better.
When the stuff he raps about isnt much better.
FOR ME ITS HOW THEY RAP, NOT NECESSARILY WHAT THEY RAP ABOUT.
take EMINEM for ex he made that wild n crazy stuff he rapped about sound cool because of how he raps.
I dont listen to HOV because he braggs, i listen because of HOW HE USES HIS WORDS.
if for you its how you rap and not necessarily what you rap about, then i think everyone would agree you would prefer eminem over jay ANY DAY OF THE WEEK ...its gott abe something else than that ... ems wordplay, delivery, flow etc... is TOP NOTCH ... i mean im arguing for em to be considered as one of the greatson the technical skills alone ... is his catalogue up there with people like pac and scarface and the such? maybe not
see man im telling yall some good %#@* ... RD was a hot album but it wasnt RD like it is today, not even 1/100th actually ... if BIG was around lord jay would be in trouble ... as i said before, its about appeal and fans, why would you check for jay when big was better by a long hop, skip and an olympic jump? no reason to ...Originally Posted by LilStarZ07

Jay-Z caliber rappers put out albums like that on a regular basis?

honestly..
I enjoy these hiphop duscussions, not many hiphop heads at my job lol.
I got EM in my TOP 5.
I just cant put him any higher, because the guys above him have to many classics
When you hear certain JAY,PAC,BIG, NAS songs.][ quite a few songs ]
people be like OOOOOOOOOOOOO S#$T!! [even those so called gargage albums u speak of]
Em has a few but not like them. HE IS INCREDIBLE THO.
