I don't think he's got a consistent line of work but his albums that are good are all classics to me.

1) Reasonable Doubt (No brainer)
2) Blueprint
3) American Gangster (Highly underrated)
4) Vol. 1
5) Vol. 2
6) Black Album
7) Blueprint 2
8) The Dynasty
9) Vol. 3
10) Kingdom Come
11) MCHG
12) Blueprint 3

I wish this ? never made half of those albums..

    Reasonable doubt is clearly number 1. Blueprint and American Gangster are closer than people think, Vol.1 is 1 maybe 2 songs away from being flawless, and kingdom come is much better than people realize. Hollywood and the usher song are just so ? terrible and hard to get past people forget there's a lot of heat there.

    Blame Def Jam/Jay for making the Dynasty album an official Jayz album.

    Reasonable Doubt - classic
    The Blueprint - classic
    The Black Album - debatable
    American Gangster - debatable
    Vol 1 - great sophomore follow up
    Vol 2 - went commercial, but had hella bangers
    The Dynasty
    Vol 3
    Blueprint 2 - way too many features
    Kingdom Come
    Blueprint 3
    Magna Carta/Holy Grail - scust



    He should've stayed retired. AG is the only memorable album he's released since then.
