So name one

I don't count people doing choruses.  Canibus had Rakim's voice on a chorus, Jay had some chick sing a chorus, Rakim had singers do choruses on his two solo albums that he was the only one rapping.

I don't see how you can't count The Lost Tapes just because the songs weren't all recorded with the intention for that album or in the same time period.  It's a CD of all unreleased material like any other normal album that comes out, that's how I see it.

Kill:
to me the lost tapes are just more of a compilation. nas did not record a solo album intending to record a solo album and had no guests on it. but if u wanna count it aight, no need to dispute. doin a whole album alone is still rare in more commercial hiphop cause guests help you sell your album.

and i still think it was a good idea by jay to do that shit with no guest stars. if you dont like the result thats sumthin else...of course the fact he did it alone don't improve the songs

Naw, if u don't like it u don't like it. But IMO guests would've prolly made it less hot than it is

Depends on the features. Some features can really help an album out. I would've liked to hear some other emcees on this album.

I TO DA GEEZY:
The Black Album is a great album, u could say this is the 2003 version of RD, present's that very same hungry Jay-Z after a decade of sucsess coming full sircle, it sound's so natural and on point that u can't help but smile like an idiot all the way through(at least that's how I feel), If heads couldn't recognise Hova on questionable releases like VOL2 or (relatively to his earlier material) experemental yet tastefull albums like VOL3 can trully say this is RD shit right here, it's vivid.
