    Graduation although I know im gonna catch hell for that one...

    I always look bias when I say ? like this, but what does it say about kanyes discography if some say his second is better than his first and in your case, his third being better than his second? While I don't agree with you, Graduation stands on it's own when it's not compared to his two previous albums. That's a pretty good streak until 808's which is dope in my opinion but I see why others might still believe is wack

    The lex diamond story
    Marshall mathers
    Murda muzik

    Whoever no signed my post, what album didn't you agree with?

    Lex Diamond Story was atrocious. I got that album for free when I used to intern at Universal, and I couldn't even listen to one full song. You're other picks are on point though.

    If you have to listen to this album on Spotify u lost already and opinion should be disqualified.



    1st post of the thread. I think ? thought the thread meant "3rd album better than the sophomore AND freshman album". Vol 2 over Vol 1 dont deserve all them no-signs lol

    Because Vol 1 was a far more cohesive album than vol 2.

    The B. Coming

    Thebcoming.jpg

    >>>>>>>>>

    The Reason

    Beaniesigelthereason.jpg

    came here just to say this...the reason was when the roc was super hot, so it was almost commercial....

    not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination...infact it was a personal favorite when it came out.. but b.coming was soooooooooooooo crazy i was shocked as hell more people weren't rocking it

    "Feel It In the Air"
    "I Can't Go On This Way"
    "Purple Rain"
    "Oh Daddy
    "Bread & Butter"

    were the stand outs, even though looking back i don't think there was a weak track on the ? ....

    plus "it's on" even thoguh both him and jay had that track....that beat is still just so sick, and them ? killed it

    Murda Musik isn't better than Hell on earth although both classics, say what you want about Immobilarity but Lex Diamonds was worse, Immobilarity was a good album if you look past the lack of RZA beats and Ghost features

    i dont get why vol 2 got soo many no-signs and flags

    where were y'all when the album came out? even jay-z admitted he wished he could have re-recorded that album (HIS least fav). It was ok, but rarely heard anyone big it up - guess the IC is the home of the anomaly...


    y'all REALLY think these tracks hold weight on any list?
    - I Know What Girls Like (i dont think ive ever heard this song to the end till this day...)
    - The City Is Mine
    - (Always Be My) Sunshine

    ^^^ Yeah but if you take off those 3 songs it could have been a 5 mic classic.

    Vol 2 was good but it felt like a collection of songs. It felt like a mixtape. Vol 1 was cohesive it felt like an album. Plus a lil bit of Reasonable Doubt was evident in Jay's flow and rhymes.
