[natedoggg2002]

Dayum 15years This Clasic takes me back! Dayum I remember I got this joint back in 96 from my hommie's brotha, took this classic home when I was like 12 years old, When I blast this track up in my room, my momma came bustin in on tha verse" so play hard and stick hard and the only time you love em is when your dick hard" She was like WHAT THA FUCK IS THAT YOU LISTENIN TOO? When I told her to shut up this real sex ed talk, she slapped tha hell outta me, she hid tha album but I stole it back

[natedoggg2002]

1996

[fldfhhh4004]

this shit is why jigga be the god M.C.

[infearandfaiith]

best jay-z song of all time

[spazzmatic18]

:| wtf jigga outflowed kanye?? :|

[BruceBanner2010]

@spazzmatic18 duh...lol 

[SonnyA89]

Wayne you takin' notes NIGGA?

[BruceBanner2010]

Btw, all of you can hate Jay-Z...but honestly every time he's featured on another rapper's album...it's a fucking amazing track, especially post Black Album

Light Up - amazing flow

Free Mason - amazing flow

Monster - amazing flow and kept on TOPIC..lol

So Appalled - amazing flow

Watch The Throne - outflowed Kanye

I'm just rambling, I just hate all the negative lash that Jay-Z receives because he's successful, and still rapping, because he's better than 90% of the rappers out there...

[MMGxGOOD]

@BruceBanner2010 agree bruh, but kanye aint really a fluid rapper so its not his fault he got outflowed , he shines on the prod. side of things.

[BruceBanner2010]

Honestly Jay, is the best rapper of all time. You can kiss my ass. The late rappers rest in peace each only have a FEW albums, to show their worth...Jay-Z has multiple, records every album wasn't a hit, but damn if he doesn't still spit that shit on the most of the music on there...Yeah Pac, Big L, B.I.G., were amazing...but, who knows if they didn't die...who's the say they wouldn't end up like the rappers who fell off...consistency my friends. Hov ages like wine, imo.

[SuperJayZFan1]

@BruceBanner2010 I Am Wit You 100%.

[Raminess88]

The definition of SWAG

[NTeague123]

my new scarf feels like cashmere SMH.

[rappermatt1]

ill never here a better lyricist than jay z

[toyin12345]

@rappermatt1 ill never see a worse speller than you

[BrianRaider]

Stick they hands in they panties, grab that knot Stick they arm in a car window, drop it like it's hot

[BrianRaider]

Mink thoughts to think thoughts type similar

Might you remember, my shit is col-l-l-ld like December

Smoother than Persian rugs, the cashmere

Eighteen carat gold pen, when it hits the sheets

Words worth a million like I'm rappin em through platinum teeth

Reasonable Doubt or Me Against the World?

[DAMIERxDOOBIES]

@nastynas373

Reasonable Doubt

[pimpnasty44]

Illmatic > Me Against the World

[DAMIERxDOOBIES]

@pimpnasty44

you already know . Illmatic is in top 5 album(s) to be made .

[NICKEYBLACK35]

Reasonable Doubt~ Paid In Full~ Long Live The Kane~ Me Against The World~ By Any Means Necessary tied with Criminal Minded

[NICKEYBLACK35]

Every song on RD is superb and the lyricism is untouched. My top 5 albums of all time in no order:

[ThaCholo]

stick yo hand in they panties, grab that knot, stick they arm in the car window, drop it like its hot

[noedig1000]

classic jay z at his best 3:00 of straight venom

[MyDogBrownie]

I think nobody should list they're favorite or top rappers. In the end nobody is gonna agree with one another. I used to be one of the first guys namin my favs, but now, childish.

[prettyboyswag317]

illmatic da best album but second place is a tie between ready 2 die n reasonable doubt

[Cdls628]

Every Jay album is awesome to me theres only 2 I'm not wild about Vol 3 and Dynasty but everything else I bump to!! Jigga man Best Rappers Pac BIG Nas Jay Common KRS Rakim all those dudes man no order this album classic no matter what you think and you can't deny Jay not top 10

[zw0ecool]

damn this song go so fucking hard.... "the proper etiquette when i drop the subject verb then the predicate, with this rich nigga rhetoric"....sick...no rapper raps likes this nowadays...it's all about shaking asses and bullshit....how can anyone compete with jay... in today's world, lil weezy ain't at all clever like jay.

[changez07]

American Gangster was the best Jay Album in my opinion.

he didnt care about the radios. he was just doing his thing

[zw0ecool]

@changez07 ur out of your mind....reasonable doubt is the best....you can listen to that cd straight, it has melodic jazz in it which creates the ideal New York City atmosphere...it's slick

[changez07]

@zw0ecool its a matter of opinion and heart. i LOVED the movie and I understood jay z in a very deep level (listening to the CD made me feel like i was in the 70s). Reasonable is still good though.

ps listen to 'Party Life' with a low volume :)

[EarlWebb02136]

forget that list add nas, rae, ghost, black thought, jay n az

[killlilwayne]

FUCK 50 CENT and jay z this is his only good album hes a biter anyway

[alumni00009]

@killlilwayne so your saying Blueprint, Vol.1, & The Black Album weren't good either?

[killlilwayne]

@alumni00009 ya they weren't as good as this one black album, vol 1 were aight

[alumni00009]

@killlilwayne ima have to disagree w. that, Jay-Z's lyricism showed improvement on The Blueprint & all the tracks were cold af ...maybe except Jigga That Nigga but that was still a hit

[killlilwayne]

@alumni00009 reasonable doubt is better

[RelaxednCaIm]

@alumni00009

the blue print is no where near as good lyrically as RD.

[marcumty]

[TheWop4life]

i hate people that make lists of their fav. mc's, honestly no one cares. keep your opinions to yourself and listen to the song!!!

[Ginga]

@TheWop4life

People are entitled to express their opinions but they usually end up starting unnecessary arguments so you're right, best to just enjoy the song.

[wilsonwiza]

[mholla2]

Jadakiss?????? Where he at on it!! and plss dont tell me he aint Lyrical!

[MrDirtdevil91]

@mholla2 his albums don't match the skill, Kiss of Death was really his only heater & his mixtapes burn

[Raheyna888]

[otr777]

nas is dope

j is dope

so is biggie

so is tupac

and

guru

[SpicyGrape]

@otr777 And Pun, and L, and a ton of other people. Hip-hop is alive!

[royalnash]

the blueprint is not a classic that shit is overrated. but the black album and reasonable doubt are classic

[filkris1]

@royalnash the blueprint is the most overrated album in rap by far...

[Raheyna888]

Ok ive been readin all these comments and i love rap more than anything and have been listening to hip hip since 1994 these are my thoughts....please comment! 1. Notorious BIG 2. Jay Z 3. Eminem( slim shady lp, marshall mathers, eminem show) old em not new 4. Big L 5. Big Pun 6. Nas 7. Tupac 8. Dr. Dre 9.Rahkim 10. DMX I put tupac down the list because he was more of a poet..he used music to talk. He is one of the best rappers ever but i just can not put him higher up my list.

[3runner4lfe]

@Raheyna888 take DMX OFF!! Yo can barely here what he's saying!! Though u missed, rap groups like Onyx, Gang Starr, (MC Guru), De La Soul, and also Immortal Technique!!

[whatthefuck66666]

@Raheyna888 Dr. Dre doesn't write his lyrics but to me he's the greatest producer.

[chansen89]

its just so pimpin

[UBZUKI]

I PIMP HARD ON A BITCH ,LOOK,

FUCK IF YOUR LEG BROKE BITCH HOP ON YOUR GOOD FOOT.

[Tamarlese]

Orginality???? NOTTTTTT!!!!! Hamilton Bohannon... Save their souls!!!!!

[e11108]

musiq soulchild does a nice track on this sample

[qddaartform]

@e11108 ha hell yea thats the first thing i was thinkin when i heard the beat he does love that song too

[gfrye13]

man reasonable doubt lyrically is his best album

[MrEjean754]

man i just got this album they got me paying 27$ for that album .shit i int want to open that i spend 2day looking at it on tha table

[90sBEST]

old school hova is on a different level than any other artist in existence

[lyrikrules]

@90sBEST what the fuck he was dope but i wouldnt go that far

[jammyboyfresh]

this album is an classic... and blueprint was okay

[hennylo68]

This album is ok I don't see the big deal about it. I think blueprint is much better.

[fantomhiphop]

how can you put 50 as number 2 above nas? and not even mention eminem or jay-z???

[JStormMOB]

wat he say in dis track that was so cold?

[LOLJoey1]

I don't think people realize how good this song just enjoy it quit arguing about nas, jay,biggie, and pac, and especially quit mentionin fab, 50, and wayne like they're in the same league cuz they're not

[minhasc]

This is not only 1 of the best written, metaphorical bangers in the heat of '96 hip hop, it's also a top notch Clark Kent classic beat!!!!!

[DA7odKAI]

I'm not even gonna make a list Just as a hip hop head...Pac isn't the greatest. He was passionate, poetic, and real but lyrically he was out classed by a lot of other rappers. Controversy sells getting shot sells talking shit sells etc. Pac was more of a street poet 2 me. If u fused Malcolm X and Martin Luther he'd be that nigga. A leader who was meant to be more than a rapper

[JahWorks420]

that nigga 3stacks colder thanna polar bear's toenails..

[jon5339]

1.pac- no -one comes near to him

2.50cent- first album, pure genius

3.krs

4.nas

5.fabolous

[jaybanks9]

@jon5339 lol fab top 5

[Dark2b]

@jon5339 every1 was Filling %= first album i felt it....but how Can u put him above Krs and Nas .....just Becuz of One album....kmo man....

[jon5339]

yeah he aint kept wat he had i know,

[dfendle1]

No love for Andre 3000? He's a bit weird but the lyrics are there

[Jizz0h]

@dfendle1

Got much love for 3000-

You could also add Kane, G Rap, Talib/Mos, Black thought, Scarface, Busta, Pac, Pun, Jada, Luda etc.

[nyse41685]

@dfendle1 he's weird at all - jus on anotha level

[MetalFaceKing17]

@dfendle1 wierd? NAH! i would say "Enlightened"

[thesouthrapsucks]

[AlexanderValentino88]

5.Tupac - He aint really a rapper but he definately had the most passion when it came in making music,he took his own life n experiences n put in words, but he didnt have enough time to blow up fully, his last album "7 day theory" a classic, most sold hip hop album

[whatthefuck66666]

Big L is the greatest freestyler!!!

[gallisable]

I am a hardcore Pac fan but my best friend got me to listen to Hova and i started respecting hov. and i gotta admit that this dude is something different compared to the otha rappers nowadays he is simply iconic

[SalWhizzle]

"Life is short so play hard and stick hard and the only time you love em is when yo dick hard"....If there is any advice guys should listen to is this line

[JW2K3]

truuuu

[rayray4086]

BP2 is musically and lyrically better than BP3

[Prophet1121]

@rayray4086 obviously

[compton703]

nice track

[compton703]

fuc thsi track

[Abarnes204]

Yet I Still Feel A Need To Be Fly

[megamanrox]

I can't believe how lyrical he was on this song. It also kinda sounds like a Too Short song towards the end.

[e11108]

blueprint 2..is not better then 3

[JW2K3]

lol r u kidding me ? lololol BP2 IS WAY BETTER THAT BP3

[e11108]

i dont think so... its a hard question

reasonable doubt is easily my favorite though

[1polymath]

In order The Blueprint Reasonable Doubt/American Gangster The Dynasty Vol 3 The Blueprint 3 Kingdom Come Black Album Vol 2 Vol 1 The Blueprint 2

[jimmytwotimez]

you must be young because vol 1 is really underrated and much better than alot of Jay's albums....Blueprint 2 is easily better than Blueprint 3 too....how old are you?

[theac26]

WORD UP! i got my 17 year old friend like BP3 is the best jay album. im like -___________- you obivously dont know reasonsable doubt or vol. 1,2, or 3. im 16 and schooling him -.-

[1polymath]

What does that matter? Is you white or black? The Blueprint 2 was whack! It had only a few cuts, but this was his weakest work! Show you how to do this son!

[jimmytwotimez]

dude i hope you not that corny to give me negative ratings....becuz i had positive just the other day....anyway it does matter if you young becuz you just dont have a good understanding of hip hop unless you listen to old school alot.....and if you think Blueprint 2 was his weakest one then go back and listen to it again....and to be real....blueprint 3 was his worst compared to his other material...you must think lil wayne is the shit

[1polymath]

Say man? Why da fuck do you keep judging me!? Nigga I'm nineties all the way! I don't listen to this shit! How u think I ended up on Reasonable Doubt!? And you is a fool if you think it wasn't a whack cd. It's jay and thats enough for me but it wasn't hard enough for me. I see you catching feelin's for that cd!

[southsideroy]

No doubt, I might even go as far as to say Vol. 1 is his best album. My only problem with it is he went a little too commercial and it sounded too much like BIG. Other than that great album.

[ediddye818]

@1polymath i agree with everything u got up there except i think the black album should get its props- encore what more can i say lucifer threats dirt of your shoulders 99 problems december 4th and moment of clarity were all legit there were only like 2 whack tracks on the whole thing

[ediddye818]

@1polymath oh and cant forget the best song on the whole album and possibly his most bangin song ever, PSA

[OPiiE562]

is it me or was Kingdom Come an underated album.

[rybread78]

nah u not the only one homie..it was actually a good cd the songs on there have some quality that only hov can deliver

[OPiiE562]

Reasonable Doubt

The Blueprint

The Black Album

American Gangstar

Are classics

[Game4564]

not american gagstar but it is a very good album

[OPiiE562]

American Gangster wasen't?? c'mon dude, Fallin, Roc Boys, the song American Gangster, Sweet, Pray, Say Hello was a good beat. I Know

[Game4564]

close to a classic but just wasnt dawg.........

[bbetanc]

actually No Hook was jiggas best flow on American Gangster but AG was NO WHERE NEAR Reasonable Doubt. Only thing came close to this whole album was the blueprint. MAYBE the black album.

[JW2K3]

i agree with you

[31MillerTime31]

the black album was crazy

whenever i play ball im always rappin the lyrics to p.s.a. in my head

lol

[sorrab1000]

@OPiiE562 agreed good list

[zsivaz]

@OPiiE562 So is Vol.1

[MrDirtdevil91]

@OPiiE562 I agree, Vol. 1-3 had a lil too much filler on em

[James95Dean]

@OPiiE562 no blueprint 2? 

[junkhobokiller]

@OPiiE562 hard knock life vol?
