American Gangster.Man, tbh, TBA is one of my least fav Jay Z albums..never really thought it was all that..
round that time I was ? wit that G Unit BFM album way more *shrugs* -
The Black Album.@ Chase N Bundlez
I need your ranking, powerful poster -
-
The Black Album.Yo, Vol. 3 and Dynasty were Jay's toughest bars and introspective tracks.
No-sign on BP3 being that high
Solid list -
The Black Album.BP3 over Black Album ? whattttttttttttt ?
-
The Black Album.Please!!!!! the Black Album is, I almost forget about American Gangster. If it wasn't for Roc Boys and Blue Magic that ? woulda been blah.....Black had Public service Announcement, 99 Prob, Moment of Clarity, a gritty joint like Threat...Pshhhh come on now
-
Black album is better and darker, but American Gangster was a really good cd that showed Jay Z's versatility. I can listen to American Gangster in the car, during a smooth classy party. The black album is stuff to get ? , high, ride alone or with others. Black album is hunger and American Gangster is effortless.
-
I'm probably more likely to play American Gangster in rotation than the Black album but the Black album is better
-
The Black Album.TBA is a better album. I appreciate both of them n they are seminal works of art from jay but TBA will always be a standout. He got classic Hiphop records on there. Songs that fans will always know and hear type ? . Psa n encore r much more widely known than roc boys, blue magic n I know 4 a reason. They're just better overall songs.

I remember that ? well. Lamest excuse in album history -
The Black Album.PSA >>>>>>
-
both are dope to me
Black album i was in my senior year in High school
AG was my senior yr in College
so they both hold a spot in my life for two different reasons.
-
The Black Album.I didn't like the addition of Ignorant ? to American Gangster. What was it 3 1/2 or 4 years old at that point?
-
American Gangster.AG was something that he did because he felt inspired. don't seem like that ? happens often. it was a good way to come back after that mediocre Kingdom Come. Jay was engaged and focused and you can tell.

American Gangster.if you owe me 10 dollars you ain't givin me 9
-
Black Album is jays second best album, should've left the game on that album. AG was good not great
-
American Gangster.American Gangster - Hello Brooklyn = near-perfection..
-
The Black Album.Son, if When The Money Goes was on there.
I would have picked that album over TBA. -
American Gangster.Can I get an encore?

American Gangster.I'm a bit older, so my perspective is a little different, but AG was the way complete albums used to be...like written stories, novels, etc., with an arc,tension, a climactic finish, epilogue. I'm talkin' literary/film basics 101. With that said, I believe TBA has more joints that I go back to individually...more bangers that I just need to hear at that moment. But when I travel, AG stays in rotation...I start with Idris Elba's intro, finish with Curtis Mayfield's Short Eyes sample, and don't stop in between (incl. Hello Brooklyn). I think it's Jay's most complete album when taken in context of the story, start to finish. But again, I'm coming at this from literary, movie perspective...

American Gangster.I thought I would bring this back, cause it was on my mind.
