best Jay-Z record?

[Bobcat46308]

In anticipation of The Blueprint 3 being released, which Jay-Z album do you think is the best (and I left out all of the collaboration/remix albums)?

the blueprint

[Bobcat46308]

the blueprint

for me, it's between The Blueprint and The Black Album.

had to go with The Black Album, though, it's the perfect rap record. every song on it is great, especially Moment of Clarity (produced by em)

[WhoSaidThat?]

Reasonable Doubt is the best.

[MontanaFromNY]

the black album is one of my all time favorite records EVER

[Velvetground]

Blueprint 2

[WhoSaidThat?]

While RD is his best record, I personally enjoy Black and Blue more than the others.

[VIVALAMATT]

tie between blueprint and black album (though for sentimental value, id pick reasonable doubt).

i went with blueprint though

[VIVALAMATT]

hopefully, blueprint 3 will be considered one of this best. can't wait for that.

[gnp8472]

Its Reasonable Doubt, no question. great records are most of them, but the first is the best

[batmannj]

Reasonable Doubt is a classic rap record. Probably the best kind of its genre, Jay is excellent. And Biggie was on that record too.

[SeanEBoy2686]

The Black Album... one of my favorite rap albums ever

[callingallcars]

dude the black album. no doubt. not only Jayzs best album but arguably one of the best rap albums ever.

[mshoreline49]

everyone loves reasonable doubt cuz its a classic and blah blah blah, but that was before my time so the blueprint fo sho

[princesschad]

The Blueprint.

[buddyhenika]

hard knock life

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

The Blueprint.

We runnin this rap shit.

[SlappedActor]

Who actually voted for Kingdom Come? That shit is awful.

[princesschad]

agreed. Nice avatar by the wayl

Thanks!

[Bobcat46308]

Who actually voted for Kingdom Come? That shit is awful.


i enjoyed a few tracks on Kingdom Come. a lot of people don't like it because it's not "gangster" but he's got a few interesting things to say there, anyhow.

i can't believe people are voting for In My Lifetime, Vol. 1... by FAR the worst of any of his releases, i thought it was just plain lazy.
