The thing about jay is i've always felt he was massively overrated and that nas was underrated, duno why but its always appeared to me as if people blew jays music up simply because they wanted a king of new york and jays always been more marketable than nas (nas cant make BIG club tunes, jay can), and it must be said RD is a sick ass album but theres average joints on it which in my opinion stop it from being a classic, i agree with Lun that the Blueprint is overrated, its boring as fuck and theres wack joints (i'm not hating, im a massive nas fan and think Stillmatic is overrated) and the Black album is sick.....but ive always felt that wen you consider the big 4 of Pac, Big, Nas and supposedly Jay, ive always felt that Jay is only considered the GOAT because hes achieved so much (£ wise) and because hes still going strong, but i dont see how any of these relate to him being the GOAT His Discopgraphy is average apart from RD and TBA, im not saying its wack, it shits over other rap discographies but i dont think u can compare Jay to Pac, Nas or Big, Call me a hater but its my opinion......

Girls Girls Girls (+ the unecessary remix) and Change Clothes are the only tracks I don't like off of those albums

Those are 2 of the few Jay-Z solo joints that I like

There are TONS of remixes made with the acapellas of that album. Someone should open a thread for that, so every single Remixed Black Album can be posted there.

Reasonable Doubt - Classic
Vol. 1 - Pretty solid but has a couple of fillers
Vol. 2 - Awesome album imo but some don't agree. It probably got the most plays out of me.
Vol. 3 - Pretty weak. Only could listen to half of the album
Dynasty - Little bit better than Vol.3. The production is solid but Jay's rhymes were pretty tiring.
The Blueprint - Classic as far as production goes. If it wasn't for Jay on some tracks, I could listen to that album front to back.
The Blueprint 2 - Pretty average for the time period it came out. Tons of fillers but alot of dope tracks too.
The Black Album - Classic
Kingdom Come - Probably would have been good if it wasn't rushed. With such a dope producers and guest features, it didn't live up to half of my expectations.

the grouprip will be out any minute
y'all know what it is, i'll start the thread soon

[Lunatic]

damn, this is what the leak says

"Upping now man. Oh, and could a mod rename this? This isn't the grouprip, just retail. I'm so used to putting grouprip in the titles. Sorry about that".

so looks like all 15 tracks are finally out in 1 file, but not the grouprip yet...but isn't retail/grouprip same thing??

No the retail is obviously the retail album lol, but the grouprip i think is wen a ripping group rips the songs together so that they are all of the same quality, and wen u put it in iTunes they are in order lol, thats how i define grouprip neway lol Non grouprips tend to vary in quality....

[smegma]

A grouprip is ripped by an mp3 group, for example WHOA, RAGEMP3, CR or SUT.

[Lunatic]

true
but the quality of the retail is really good as well, no?

[Lunatic]

fuck it...soon i'm just gonna d.l it & post a track here for y'all 2 decide if u want the link or not

[eazye]

Why the hate for Girls Girls?I think that track is fuckin' good, and it's really cool to hear Biz, Q-TIp and SLick RIck on the chorus

i thought it was a boring track all in all

Well, the quality of an mp3 is never better than the quality of the source (usually cd or vynil) it's ripped from. Mp3groups have better software than you do to rip mp3s with.
