Whats ur favorite Jay album
the black album or blueprint are top 1 to me
do niggas not remember niggas not liking TPAB when that s*** came out?
i fr did not know niggas who liked the album like that when it first dropped and we all loved kendrick and GKMC and all that s***
One of my fav songs ever
BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM so tranquil and groovy same can be said about the entire album till this day I believe Kendrick was heavily inspired by it
TPAB has sharp live instrumentation, subject matter and lyricism going for it
MBDTF has the better melodies, beats and flows throughout. Might just be about what you value more
some of the beats on MBDTF flat out suck but the album make up for it in the artistic theme and vibe of the whole thing
the black album or blueprint are top 1 to me
I think my top 5 might be
Blueprint
American Gangster=Reasonable Doubt
Black Album
444
Like Water For Chocolate is definitely a masterpiece like TPAB.
That album changed how I view Common entirely. But y’all already know that lol.
Rejuvenated his entire career with that one even though he had 2 classics before it

There were lots of people who didnt like it, I liked it from my first listen
That Dilla stimulus
It wasn’t strictly Dilla, although he played a key role in it. It was the weirdo energy going on at Electric Lady studios. They made LWFC, Voodoo and Mamas Gun all in one big block of sessions and you can just feel the lighting captured. I’d choose to be a fly on the wall for those sessions Forsure.

I love Slum Village they made such chill music
I love their style of rapping bc it was simple and raw

Bruh wtf i never knew that
Crazy
GKMC is definitely my preference if I’m looking for a nice mix of songmaking and going off with pure rapping and flow
I’ll go to DAMN if I want fun songs or even melancholic personal lyrics, but it doesn’t scratch that itch for me with the going off with pure rapping and flow apart from a handful of songs. The rap songs with the top 40 radio flows are still hard tho don’t get me wrong
TPAB for an immersive overalll listening experience

gorgeous get annoying to hear after a while to the point where I just skip that s*** now
Hell of a life beat trash

gorgeous get annoying to hear after a while to the point where I just skip that s*** now

gorgeous ye verses carry the song tho
I love Slum Village they made such chill music
I love their style of rapping bc it was simple and raw
I think tribe and de la lowkey did what they were doing the best along with pharcyde but I’ve grown to appreciate slum latter on they embody an overlooked essence of hip hop that got more refined later on I used to say dilla carried them tho lmao

Gorgeous has 3 of Kanye’s best verses ever and the beat is simple and contagious. Hell of a life is powerful.
Damn you got some horrible takes , but to each their own
