+++OFFICIAL JAY Z THREAD+++

[Magic33]

I like that he did his b-sides stuff and stuff like You Don't Know and Allure

 

[1c3m4m]

^word, he now even preforms his pump it up freestyle

 

[JustBlaze.]

But I have always ranked Vol 3 over Vol 2... I know i am probably in the minority with that.

Same. Folks always trippin' when I tell them I have Vol. 3 over 2.

 

[JRaW’d]

Needa see the gloria carter interview.

Feel like it could be pretty interesting...

 

[definition of dopeness]

The full interview dropped today on the dusse Friday podcast, I don't know if thy are releasing the video.

 

[Magic33]

 

[Hahahaha]

Would have liked to hear him break down what a classic album is to him. Feel like everyone has a different definition.

Vol 1 is a classic for me. I play every song except I Know What Girls Like and Face Off. Those songs are terrible
Vol 2 is a classic

I'm a huge fan of 3 and Dynasty. Not classics though

Blueprint is a classic.

AG is dope but not a classic to me.

 

[ace rawstein]

I have two tickets to the Brooklyn show that I am selling. Holla at me if you are interested. 100 level seating.

 

[toogoon23]

Jay-Z has 4 undisputed classics.

1. Reasonable Doubt
2. Blueprint
3. Black Album
4. 4:44

Vol. 2 and American Gangster are great but not classics.

 

[rbk93]

4:44 Undisputed?

 

[mastamind033]

Black Album and 4:44 are not classics

 

[xcellz]

i dunno about 444 it will have to stand the test of time but the black album is def a classic.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

If anything, The Black Album is his most overrated album

 

[rbk93]

My guess would be one of the Volumes, but I haven't listened to his whole discography yet.

There's a difference between classic and perfection. A classic can be a classic without it being perfection.

 

[htg designs]

^ I know, I meant almost classic. no such thing as perfect in art since it's subjective.

 

[mastamind033]

Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint are his only classics.

The Black Album, Vol. 1, and American Gangster are high quality albums but aren't genre defining or genre changing albums.

4:44 just came out, let it breathe a lil bit.

 

[rbk93]

It's all opinionated I guess.

Black Album I would say is genre changing

 

[andoneflip]

Hov gonna be on saturday night live this saturday

 

[nom de guerre]

 

[toogoon23]

How is black album not a classic? It''s a near perfect album. Probably his peak lyrically as well.

4:44 needs some time for sure but to me that's definitely his 4th and final classic.

 

[rbk93]

BA is probably my favorite Jay album when I think about it.
