#ThrowbackThursday - Jay Z Edition

Jay Z - Live In Hackney 2012

So yesterday was Jay's birthday + today is thursday, so it only makes sense he gets the Throwback Thursday treatment.

What more can I say about Jay (see what I done there?), If you know me you'll know who I class as the best rapper and the best rapper alive. It's very obvious as they're both from Brooklyn so I don't need to go into detail.

But let's get into this, how does Jay rate his current catalogue of solo albums he's released?

1. Reasonable Doubt (Classic)

2. The Blueprint (Classic)

3. The Black Album (Classic)

4. Vol. 2 (Classic)

5. American Gangster (4 1/2, cohesive)

6. Magna Carta (Fuckwit, Tom Ford, Oceans, Beach, On the Run, Grail)

7. Vol. 1 (Sunshine kills this album…fuck… Streets, Where I’m from, You Must Love Me…)

8. BP3 (Sorry critics, it’s good. Empire (Gave Frank a run for his money))

9. Dynasty (Intro alone…)

10. Vol. 3 (Pimp C verse alone… oh, So Ghetto)

11. BP2 (Too many songs. Fucking Guru and Hip Hop, ha)

12. Kingdom Come (First game back, don’t shoot me)

That's how he rates them although Vol.3 had some nasty records with and Premo (gentlemen can we get some records please). This is just part one of Throwback Thursday for Jay, cause you know he got like a million videos, so until part two.......
