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
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.
You might wanna check I've heard

Are Nas classics with sum even saying Untitled is classic too so let's not act like saying a rapper got 6 classics is laughable when ? will tell you another rapper has 6 classics... I don't agree Jay got 6 but ? acting like Jay crazy for saying he got 6 becuz that's a unheard of number but half those same ppl will tell you another rapper has 6.... If there is a debate between 6 albums which is or isn't a classic I don't see the problem with any of them being called one -
RD,BP,AG
That's it and it's way to fuckn early for 444 to be considered a classic -
6Hey when those joints dropped i was bumping them crazy especially vol 2

So jay has 6 classics my ? ? Lol
I ain't say that... I'm saying the idea isn't far off if everyone has at least one of those albums held as a classic... U can make a case for all of them
I got 4 with 2 more arguable -
I give him 4.... Vol 2, BP, BA, & the Dynasty are truly classics... The Dynasty intro the world to Kanye West as a music producer on "This Can't Be Life"... RD did not own the summer of 96 like Nas As it was written album... and AG & 4:44 are both good album but not better than other classic albums in regards to culture impact because Kendrick Lamar & David Banner already talk about some of things Jay Z talk about on 4:44 ... Jay Z was in his prime had a great 5 year run Jay Z Ja Rule & DMX was the Twin Towers of Def Jams from 1998-2003
Although Jay Z is a better MC than Ja Rule, if you compare their record sales from 2000-2003 Ja Rule was outselling Jay Z 3-1 -

Cool but what if you look at their over all careers? You see how it's not even close?
You see how your argument don't even make any type of sense? -

To me i give jay credit to create high quality music through every point of his career something 99% of artists never do. And like you said i agree when an artist has 6 albums up for debate as a classic like jay (and i agree he doesn't have 6 classics) it is a feat.
I have heard nas fans overrate the ? outta life is good and Untitled so i guess there are nation of naslam ? that think he has 6 i just want to see their blind logic behind that lol. To me Nas has 2 clear cut classics (IWW and illmatic) with a 3rd album being up for debate (stillmatic). The rest of them ? have solid songs or strings of songs (gods son, I am, lost tapes) but are clear cut non classics imo. -
4? want say a ? can't have six classic just because. That's stupid. If a ? has an album of ultra quality then yes it might be a classic. ? can make 10-15 albums and 6 be classics. You have artist like Nas, Common, Ghostface, MF Doom who have 4 classics or better. Its not impossible. But does Jay-Z have 6.....this is the same guy who told you he sold ? so you didn't have to go through that and thought he had 3 classic before completing the Blueprint. Hell no he don't have 6.

23 if you're being generous

33 for sure imo. Blueprint reasonable doubt and black album.
Vol 1 and American gangster are also close classics. 4:44 needs some time but it's for sure one of the better jay z albums. -
A better question is what makes an album a classic. You have ? like Below the Heavens that you can play for begin to end, but had no commercial impact. Then you have ? like Country Grammar that had huge commercial impact, put on for a region, but artistically isn't great.

As a big Jay fan..nah 3 classics: RD,BP,BA...and gtfoh with 4:44... it'll be forgotten by the end of the year
This is the same group that said Nas's Streets Disciple was Nas 3rd best album when it came out
