Does Jay Z Have A "One Hot Album Every 10 Year Average"?

[nujerz84]

Since his return from retirement yes

 

[rip.dilla]

Every Jay-Z album release is an HipHop event ..

It depends on what you mean by hot. Vol 1 wasnt a classic but it was dope.

I guess I'm going by the past 10 years, 2004-2014. That would include Kingdome Come, American Ganggster, Blueprint 3, Watch the Throne, Magna Carter

AG and WTT are personal classics, and BP3 isnt as bad as mfs make it seem. MCHG and KC are avg/below avg albums tho.

IMO that's 4/5.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Nope wtt and American gangster and mcgh shit on kc. Bp3 just average

 

[dj pre-k]

yes, he does

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

No but he has 1 thread every 2 day average

 

[5th Letter]

American Gangster was good because of those soulful beats. But instead he wanna be experimental.

Jayz 2004-2014

Unfinished Business

Kingdom Come

American Gangster

The Blueprint 3

Watch the Throne

Magna Carta Holy Grail

so yes he's had 1 hot album in the last 10 years, but when I discuss that Jay-Z's career, I break it down from RD to BP, since then he's been average at best

That's what I'm getting at, how many "Hot" in the true sense of the word "Hot" albums has Jay Z had in the past 10 years?

Mainstream wise/commercial success he done well so you could categorize those albums as hot.. hot in terms of quality is different.

 

[usmarin3]

What's your definition of hot. Hot by backpackers standard nope, hot by relevance standard then yeah. He's been more successful the last 10years than he was when he was praised underground wise. He is the only rapper from the 90s that's relevant and no I dont consider Em nor Wayne 90s

Come on AG WTT & MCHG all our bangers. An pushed the bar an didn't something different for the game. Jay sets the bar for all other's to follow. So idk MCHG an wtt still getting regular spins to this day. I mean compared to what because all his shit is checked for heavy when it drops. An gets big spins but those three standout compared to anything dropped within the passed ten years. Really 7 since AG dropped in 07.

 

[sr_the_freshman]

If the album garners a great degree of commercial success, it's hot. Not necessarily a classic, but hot none the less. The only albums I think he's made in the last 10 years that's not been hot have been Kingdom Come (although I love the album) and arguably American Gangster. Everything else has popped, including Magna Carta which I personally dislike very much.

 

[atribecalledgabi]

"hot" doesn't have to be synonymous with classic, so no.

 

[texasdaking88]

Even though ur not a real jigga fan on here if u like anything after TBA, other than BP3 which has its gems too, I fuck with all his albums post retirement... He makes good to great music and that's all im expecting from him.. I don't give a fuck about sales but obviously it its hot to people in the streets.. So Nah to that dumb shit in the o/p.. I've heard more younger people get into his music, even kids which down this way, as a kid, I don't remember one Jigga fan in the same age range.. If that's not hot, Idk what is.. And when he needs to spit some fire, he still does.. He took a different direction in his albums and I for one ain't expecting each on to be on the same shit.. That's what got him as hot as he is right now.. Changing shit up

 

[dalyricalbandit]

American Gangster

BP3

WTT

Some of MCHG

nope

 

[Black_Privilege]

His only hot album is AG, so i guess the answer would be no.
