20 years? Damn. I can still play this album like it just came out

 

[5th Letter]

All I Need is my favorite song

 

[Freshb651]

"My album dropped the same day as those towers"

 

[Ghostface]

You don’t know is still one of my favorite jay songs. And may not be a very popular opinion but girls girls girls is one of my favorites too. That beat and soul sample is perfect

 

[Disanthrope]

20 fucking years yikes

I like blueprint but didn't favor this album like everyone else, too many skipables to love it... but i was very invested in the nas beef and already a HUGE fan of kanye west when this dropped.

 

[Don Dada]

I never liked this album

 

[Disanthrope]

And may not be a very popular opinion but girls girls girls is one of my favorites too. That beat and soul sample is perfect

That and the remix are brilliant. The mastery of sampling

 

[RandomNegro]

Never Change is one of my favorites. That and Girl Girls Girls. Such brilliant records.

Dont rock wit Jay no more. But I remember being the only person in Best Buy buying my Blueprint CD with the Towers going on. Clearly I had a different set of priorities....

Great album, 2nd on his list after Hard Knock Life
