Apparently, ppl here in the RHH section think Jay-z has 3 classics......Reasonable Doubt, yes. Blueprint, yes..But the Black Album? GTFOH........maybe im the only one who thinks this, but if you think Black Album is a classic, give a brief explanation to shed me some light. or if you agree w/ me, that Jay-z only has 2 classic albums

My standards for an album to be called classic are usually a little higher than everyone else, so in that case. I would say that Jigga has 2 classic albums. Reasonable Doubt- I doubt that anyone is ganna argue against this one. One of the best hip hop albums ever its called in general. The Black Album- This is probebly my favorite album of all time. So many good songs. There was such a variety on this album, I bet everyone liked atleast a few.

I agree to an extent, i think the black album to jay z is what god's son was to nas. But people throw the word classic around too much these days. It wasn't a classic, it was a near classic. He was steering towards reasonable doubt, but he missed. And the whole jay/pharrell period annoyed the hell out of me. 99 problems and threat were the only songs i could replay without getting bored.

i wrote that.
i believe that "Black Album", was really good, maybe not as good as blueprint and reasonable doubt.
but just look at the tracklist.
Lucifer
Dirt Off Your Shoulder
99 PROBLEMS
Moment Of Clarithy
Encore..
there is not even 1 bad song on the whole album

Black Album was at near classic status. 4 and 3 quarter mics. Allure was the track that really slowed that LP down and denied it classic status

there is not doubt in my mind that the black album was a classic
( I define a classic as it stays in my Cd player all the time/ I never get sick of it/ it never gets played out)
The only track that I didn't like was Change Clothes
but the rest of it was fire
It falls inline right behind the Blueprint (#2) and Reasonable Doubt (#1) just like these two the whole body of works correlates
