    RD, BP and TBA will always be the certified one. Even if RD got it retroactively after 2001. He finally got it past gold and got every hipster to say it's his best work (it's not).

    Everything else was ok to wack truth be told.

    AG is a personal classic but most of his present fans never even heard it. Vol. 1 is the one I've heard the most but it's not a universal classic. It's poorly sequenced despite having a lot of classic songs. Not including Wishing On A Star but including I Know What Girls Like = major fail.

    Vol. 2 felt like a filler compilation by the time it came out. A lot of those songs were already played out from being on other albums and compilations in the spring and summer. It also didn't feel like a real album more like Jay-Z Presents or Jay-Z and Friends.

    6 classics is just straight up delusion and ego.

    My thing is, everyone of those albums is in someone list of his classics... Might not be all but if u ask 100 people what are his classics, one of those albums would show up in their list... So IDK how crazy the thought is

    Reasonable Doubt
    Blueprint
    Black Album
    4:44

    But the fact that you can make a case for 6 different albums being classic tho it's a feat in itself plus I mean half you ? laughing at Jay saying he got 6 be the same ? saying Nas got like 5-6 so 6 apparently ain't that laughable

    But you see those three albums that 98 percent of the people who posted put on their personal classics? those are his credible classics

    and if you ask 100 hip hop heads outside of here i guarantee that percentage will be the same. just cause 2 ? ? out of 100 people say dynasty roc familia was a classic, it don't mean it's a classic

    lol who said nas got 5 or 6 classics anywhere in real life or on the ic? I think you are going a little overboard. But i do agree the nation of Naslam ass ? at times can overrate Nas' catalog.

    For me its really 4, but 5 if we're including "The Dynasty" album that was under his name but was still sort of a compilation album. Every record on that joint is crazy.

    Reasonable Doubt
    Vol 2 / The Dynasty
    American Gangster
    Black Album

    Blueprint is off the Jay classic list because "Jigga That ? " is ? horrendous. It's a near perfect album, I'm not sure what the hell was going on when in the studio when he greenlighted that track. Blueprint 2 gets a lot of hate but its a personal classic to me.
