Agree or Disagree: Jay-Z and Kanye have the same number of classics

[usmarin3]

reasonable doubt isnt classic. just because a nigga drop a debut dont make it classic. fuck you 90s crackbabies. NOBODY was checkin for Jay Z in 96. album didnt go gold until 98 so what that tell you. any album with aint no nigga is automatically DQ from being a classic. like i asked before what makes it classic? someone please give me an educated answer so i can STFU. please tell me what Jay Z was doing in 96 that was ahead of the game when you had a stable of New York rappers releasing albums in their primes. If RD is a classic then everything that dropped in 96 was classic.

Illmatic sold the same amount of albums as Reasonable Doubt, does it not make it a classic since the albums like Ready to Die, Doggystyle, 36 Chambers, and The Chronic had more commercial success? The only difference between Reasonable Doubt and Illmatic back then was a 1 mic rating in the Source and some Asian bitch over at the Source recommending the perfect rating. Reasonable Doubt went gold within 12 months after it realease and it didn't go platinum till 2002. What makes it classic, what makes anything classicpinion, replay value, influence,etc.

If you're gonna be a hater and try to play off RD as this marginal album then you would have to do that with Illmatic,Da Shinnin, Enta Da Stage, etc that didn't garner great commercial success.

Straight Foolishness

"I am the stone that the builder refused/I am the visual, the inspiration, that made lady sing the blues/I am the spark that makes your ideas bright/ Same spark that lights the dark so that you can know your left from your right/I am the ballot in the box, the bullet in the gun/the inner glow, that lets you know to call your brother son/the story thats just begun, a promise of whats to come/And I'mma remain a soldier till the war is won,won, won"

[sTaY_TrUe]

1st off RD is an undeniable classic. I can't take any nigga serious who denies this, its not debatable.

Jay has 3 classics... RD, Blueprint and the Black Album

Ye has 2 classics.... College Dropout and Late Registration

I'm on the fence with Graduation and MBDTF but they are damn near classics too. Same with American Gangster. Maybe in a few more years.

yall niggas is killin me with that RD is a classic shit, that shit wasnt even a classic when it dropped. niggsd start callin it a classic after Jay-Z start calling it a classic after he thought he wont ever drop a classic album and that's around VOL 3/ROCLAFAMILIA era. then dick riders was like wait it was a classic SMH

The only classic Hov have is BLUEPRINT, the black album is 4.5 and RD is a 4 mic album. Niggas we already had OB4CL, IWW and RTD and RD was not even on par with those albums.SMH

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Yes, they both have 1 classic at best.

 

[Food & Liquor]

Jay has 2 (RD and Blueprint), Kanye has 1 (CD although I'd say his best album is MBDTF)
