Questlove gives his thoughts on Vol 1, Hov responds

[BlackRain]

Sunshine has and always will be a horrible song lol

Sunshine isn't bad at all lol

 

[dodge]

I hated Sunshine because it was just too obvious what kind of song he was going for and it didn’t fit who Jay was

Plus even in the shiny suit era they could’ve made something better than that

“Who you wit” though will forever be my shit!!!

Everything about that track is saucy…

[A-List]

Volume 1 was solid got a handful of dope to classic tracks and a couple of blunders...And no, Sunshine isnt half as bad as some make it out to be.

Revisionist history

Bruh i said exactly this to myself. The man has more than enough hits to justify his position in history without trying to manipulate opinion further. Sunshine was trash then and it's trash now! Lol

 

[Chi-Town B]

If y'all don't cut it out, this album was bad in 97 and it's bad in 2022

 

[Chi-Town B]

Vol. 1 is easily the best album in the series. The other two are not even close IMO.

This album is not better than Hard Knock Life

 

[Blue_London]

A million and one
The city is mine
Imaginary players
Street is watching
Friend and foe
Lucky me
Crack game
Where I'm from
You must love me

All great songs

Sunshine
Who you with
Real niggaz

Are alright

 

[God_Body]

This album is not better than Hard Knock Life

vol.1 > vol.3 > vol. 2

 

[BDP™️]

The song that absolutely is terrible is I know What Girls Like

Puff and the Hitmen laid a fucking egg on that one

Another trash shiny suit era joint that Jay had no business being on

Bullshit lol

Vol. 1 is personally my favourite JAY-Z album ...

Sorry to read this

 

[Ghostface]

Niggas is bugging. Vol 1 is fire. I know what girls like is the only wack song. Some of jays best songs are on this album. Some of you can’t be serious

 

[dodge]

It’s the segue of the album that makes it mediocre to me

I have no idea why Face Off and Who You Wit is on the bottom half of the album yet Lucky Me is at the top….

Listen to how smooth Blueprint and Black Album is…it ain’t just the songs but the structure that makes a classic album

This album is dope. You'll definitely knock more joints then you would skip. Sunshine better than ain't no ni##a to me.

 

[mryounggun]

if you don't watch the video sunshine is ok

This.

If niggas could divorce themselves from the video, it wouldn't get such a bad rap. Hov was actually spitting on that joint.

I like Vol. 2 because that where Jay-Z blew up from a mainstream standpoint. Vol. 3 could have been much better than what it was.
