The Message is a masterpiece

I respect your taste, you know this bro. But Jigga (#7) & I (#8) can’t co-sign Vol. 1 as #1. Too many skips!

true

but i feel like it's been well regarded for a while now

There’s only 2 skips. I’d tell Jay Z to his face his ranking was terrible nigga had Magna Carter over Vol 1

I fought against the Vol 1 is #1 take for years bc my dad and uncles are all vol 1 truthers but Ive just listened to it too much over the years, some of the best rapping ever on an album. I get not having it #1 for sure bc imo BP is a perfect album but I def rank it over IWW

Facts when I was a kid that album got way more slander

Vol 1 deserves revisionism , people got it wrong

Hip hop heads in the 90s were insane, i can't imagine listening to IWW and being disappointed

vol 1 is not the jay z hill i wanna die on. especially compared to IWW. idc about my avi

This supposed to be bad?

It’s not good

This might be one of the worst KTT post ive ever seen my dawg

Bottom 5 since 2012 lmao

waynes fav hov song.

For good reason its one of my favs too

yall dont even know every day im living with stress

im a vol 1 defender but come on, it was written is special. vol 1 is a mixed bag of classic songs, cool songs and a few straight trash that bring it down. it was written a classic front to back.

Vol. 2 is closer in quality

But for your question definitely It Was Written

i know jay himself described volume 1 as the classic that got away. that tells you everything u need to know about that album.

Vol 1 is way better than Vol 2

Jay Z not my dad bro f*** that nigga

Hes wrong too lmao

Song is terrible just like Wayne’s discography

i love vol 1 but defo is a flawed project

I dont like 2 songs

The rest is perfect to me

One of my fav rap albums of the entire 90s and my fav jay z album

assuming ur talking about i know what girls like and sunshine and tbf those 2 songs are pretty awful and that run of 'Face Off - Reall Niggaz - Rap Game / Crack Game' is cool at best.
