in my lifetime vol 1 wasn't a gd album. I remember only 2 gd songs on it. I had the album
this is just my opinion

"Where I'm From," "Rap Game/Crack Game," "You Must Love Me," "Imaginary Player," "Streets Is Watching," "Lucky Me" and "The City Is Mine" are all on In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. You're saying you don't like four of those?

i was always under the impression that beans recorded his verse on 'where i'm from' in prison.

it seems doubtful but it is beanie sigel.

oh this is why

agreed

imaginary player & face off.
those are my 2.

Jay-Z should've stayed retired after The Black Album.


This is a fact.

Why? More music is a good thing. He has made some good songs since. We would never have had "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)" or "Murder By Excellence" or "Never Let Me Down" or "Get By (Remix)" or "Black Republicans" or "Mr. Carter" or "Free Mason" or "Umbrella" had he stopped rapping after The Black Album, even if you actually dislike all of his solo work.

hahaha
so much of that is because of kanye

Because I enjoy the romantic idea of someone actually doing what they say they're going to do. Coming back tarnishes some of the mystique of The Black Album. Nothing he's done after it's release is really all that important or listenable, to me. I'd give up WtT if it meant he didn't release his other solo work.

Lolikr?

I agree that vol.2 is classic
Easily in my top 3 hov albums

My personal 3 is..
Reasonable doubt
Vol. 2
Bluprint

No real order. But they get the most play tbh

the word classic dont even mean shit with the way ya'll throw it around

but yea
