Jay-Z - The Black Album: Classic or Nah?

[Infamous114]

Only songs I skip once in a while are Change Clothes and Justify My Thug

Lol 1st time I ever seen anyone rate KC over BA.

It'll be the only time too. Lol.

Lol 1st time I ever seen anyone rate KC over BA.

That was an accident.

Black Album is my second favorite Jay album.

and Justify My Thug goes hard

 

[Bed$tuy🇭🇹]

Nope... Always hated that album and that stupid retirement

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

While it is a great album, it's not an album I frequently go back or want to go back and listen to. RD, Blueprint for example are albums I go back all the time and listen to. So I guess I'm saying it doesn't have the same replay value as some of his other albums or other albums I would deem as classics.

This here. I loved the black album.
I copped bootleg versions of this, the first Gunit CD and the 2pac "resurrection" soundtrack. Got that 3 for $15 deal in the hood. I was all set w music for about two months.

Any album that has allure on it is a classic

shiz tripping

that's his Westbank side talking

 

[grYmes]

Just thought it was a good album when it came out but disappointing when thinking it was potentially his last one. Grew on me over the years & now it’s one of his best works. Classic.

 

[DNB1]

Fav tracks?

 

[Eastbay510]

Not even a question if it’s a classic or not.

Justify my thug is the only thing that doesn’t make this a flawless album.

I was legit sad when this came out after all the hype of it being Jay’s last album. I thought we’d really never hear him rap again.

Fade To Black is one of the goat concert films I’ve ever seen too. Outside of seeing MJ or Prince live that’s the one concert I wish I could have seen in person.

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

Fav tracks?

Same favourites.

Lucifer is such an exhibition of skill its mad. Nuff concept songs about god/religion but to go the whole song with religious double entendres really is crazy

For me it goes
