?Reasonable Doubt isn't even Jay Z's best album...
How it beat Wu-Tang in this tournament, I'll never know.
Cats weren't even checkin' like that for Jay Z until after the 'Hard Knock Life' Tour... fact.
Snoop's album got bootlegged and recalled for uncleared samples and still almost did a million copies in the first week out. The streets were going crazy! -

Eventhough Jay was so much of a non factor Pac felt it was necessary to diss Jay in the intro of his album?
? was the bigger album, doesnt mean it was the best. Illmatic barely went gold, doesnt mean he wasnt a factor. -
?? was damn near flawless
-
?? is top 5 album

Listen... I'm not saying Jay was a "non factor". Of course he was huge in New York.
But people are doing some revisionist history and trying to make "Reasonable Doubt" Jay Z's "Illmatic". There was a ton of albums bigger and better than RD that year out of New York alone.
Jay Z was still living in the shadows of cats like Jaz-O, Big Daddy Kane, Big L (everyone knows Big L ate Jay Z on their freestyle together), and Biggie during this era. He went from that fast Fu-Schnickens/ Chip Fu/ Kane type flow and then switched it up to a more NY story teller type flow.
The real reason Pac dissed Jay was because Jay was Big's man and yelling out "Brooklyn"... Pac dissed Chino XL too so that is a wack point...LOL.

?In my opinion, Jay Z never found his own lane until the 'Hard Knock Life' tour with DMX.
His best album is definitely the "Black Album". -
?"Slim with the tilted brim, what's my ? name..."

In all fairness theres alot of validity to bolded, it took 6 years to go plat. Not that sales matter but it gives you context that ? wasnt checking for this album until hov really heated up. Im sure Hov got mentioned on Makaveli mainly for being biggies homie. -

-
?What do reason heads rate RD out of 10? I ? with Hov from about 1999 til 05 I ? with Hov heavy from Rocawear to S. Dots. But id rather listen to Blueprint 2 or 3 before RD.
-
?? all the way

Pac didnt open his album up dissing Chino XL, youre trying to rewrite history as if nobody was checking for Jay. When at the end of the day it doesnt even matter. Theres madddd albums that were bigger than illmatic, who df cares lol. In 2015 RD is the better album imo -
-
?No it's not, Blueprint is
-
?Reasonable Dobut is the most overrated classic of all time.
