with the release of his newest album, how would you say pic related

His best work

He will never top this no matter how hard he tries.

How come blueprint got 2 sequels but this was never touched again?

for sure

in my opinion (just mine), Mafioso Rap, Bragadoccio, and the Bling Era rap was bad then and even worse now. Jay is a good rapper.

sequals albums are almost always a bad idea. for example, blueprint 2 and 3

Big L killed him in that freestyle they did

>>73706187
Still one of the greatest Rap albums ever made

His new album just sounded like the final words of an old man going into retirement, which is probably what they were

BP2 had too much filler but I liked 3.

its his 2nd best. still a stone cold classic.

and it was damn good

BP3 was fine for what it was, commercial rap. (and I don't mean commercial like high sales, you could literally play almost any song off this album in a car commercial)

Reasonable Doubt > The Blueprint > The Black Album > American Gangster > Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life > Vol. 3: The Life & Times of S. Carter > The Blueprint 3 > 4:44 > The Dynasty > Vol. 1: In My Lifetime > Magna Carta Holy Grail > The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse > Kingdom Come

Dadrap

>>73706187
His best since American Gangster

But that isn't saying much at all

>>73708187
referring to 4:44

RD is still his crown jewel

>>73706187
One of hip-hops best

hate Regrets. such a weak beat, especially after the beautifully tragic Premier beat that came before it on Bring it On.
Otherwise, yeah, it's still a great album

>Jay is a good rapper.
If he were, he wouldn't need a million guest spots out shining on him in every song, and he'd actually have something more to say than his name and aliases, and the hustle of being a shitty rapper and still making money off idiots.
