Reasonable Doubt easily.  Black Album is decent, but grossly overrated imo.  Jay has some great tracks over his career, but for the most part, his albums aren't consistent from front to back.

I like the Blueprint a lot, it's just real soulful, The Black Album is second followed by Reasonable Doubt, but all these three are classics, I listen to them on a consistent basis

Psh.  There are a few INCREDIBLE songs on there, but it's so overhyped it's not even funny.  Kanye's beats were wack, Neptunes beats were wack, Quik's was wack, Eminem's was horrible.  9th Wonder was decent, Just Blaze came off nice, Rick Rubin came real tight, and whoever did My 1st Song was sick as hell.  The album wasn't consistent, just felt random as hell.  If people didn't hear the names of those producers on there, they'd realize that a lot of those beats were boring as shit.

Reasonable Doubt is certified classic, and has only gotten better with time.

Others lps have great songs, but the whole isn't consistent, some look like a compilation (read Blueprint 2)

Vol 2.  Vol 1 and 3 have their moments, and besides these 3, I don't really like any of the other ones.

Unplugged.

Unplugged.

Now that's one I never hear talked about.  That's probably the best live rap album I've ever heard...and it's kinda ironic to me that hip-hop used to be a live-only genre, and yet almost nobody does "unplugged" albums at all, let alone good ones.  Hov deserves mad props for that record, IMO.

Anyway, it's almost a foregone conclusion that "Reasonable Doubt" is his best, and then "The Blueprint" and "The Black Album" aren't too far behind.  "Black Album" is a little overrated, but it was still a helluva good way to go out for him.
