    I'll concede Vol 1 has some s--- songs. Vol 2 and Vol 3 are good projects though.

    ehhhh disagree he's got good s--- outside of the main 3.

    American Gangster is a d--- near masterwork. BP3 is solid for the most part, full of standout s---. WTT with Kanye is fkn classic. MCHG despite Jay not having much of anything new to to say or bring to the table is still hella goat luxury rap.

    catalogue aint perfect by any means, he's got duds (agreed on all the volumes btw), but hes got a gooood handful of good s--- as well

    i hate kanye so WTT is out i hate popish rap so BP3 is out and American gangsta production annoys me. My main point is the difference is rapping from TBA and RD to other albums is so significant it pisses me off

    Imma be serious for a moment and rebuttal this.

    RD is a classic, obviously.

    Vol 1-3 were solid/good albums, but they're all kinda inconsistent. In retrospect, they fall off from RD, but I still think they hold weight.

    Vol 2 is my favorite of the 3.

    Vol 3 was disappointing, but I liked about half of the album. Same as Vol 1.

    Dynasty was eh, wasn't a fan.

    BP1 is a classic. I love the album. I don't consider any song to be bad, or even average.

    BP2 suffered from the double disc curse. If he would've made it into 12-13 songs, it would've rivaled BP1. I can't really fault Jay for it though, I consider it a great album with The Watcher 2, Meet The Parents, BP2 song (which is WAY better than Takeover), Diamonds is Forever, A Dream, The Bounce, Hovi Baby, etc.

    Black Album might be my favorite Jay Z album. Aside from Justify My Thug, the highs on it are incredible. Loved it.

    Kingdom Come was really, really disappointing, but Jay was on a hiatus, so I kinda expected it to be a drop off from his consistency between 97-03. However, it still had Lost One, Minority Report and Beach Chair.

    AG is like a notch above the Volumes, and a notch below BP2, to me.

    BP3 and MCHG were both eh's for me, but I'd put BP3 above MCHG obviously.
