Jay-Z vs AZ (early 2000's)

[power_wisdom]

Aziatic was dope but it wasn't fuckin with The Blueprint

What did the Blueprint have over Aziatic?

I ask again but I'm no one will answer. What does Blueprint have over Aziatic? It's such a classic it shouldn't be hard to answer.

Replay value

That's subjective. I can still play Aziatic today. To be honest I haven't played either album in over 5 years. Certain albums to get old quick. But I don't feel either album fits that category.

I'm from Queens, supported Ether, and couldn't stand Jay at that time, but still knew that was a good ass album.

And your opinion is 98.9 percent of the time is asinine.

Never said it wasn't a good, great or even classic album. I'm just comparing it to Aziatic.

Aziatic had less songs and more skippables. Take It Off and Take Care of Me were terrible. Outside of Hands In The Air, every other song was good. Blueprint's only knocks are Jigga That Nigga & Hola Hovito and both of those songs are still good for the most part. Easy choice for me.

When did I get in my feeling about people not agreeing with me? I never come at anybody foul who didn't come at me first. This is a discussion board right? You supposed to discuss things about hip-hop, am I correct? This is a place where you can have an intellectual conversation about hip-hop. I think maybe you getting in your feeling and taking shit personal.

Blueprint has 15 and Aziatic has 14 songs. I'll give you Take it off. But Hands in the air was dope. I liked Take care, but even if I gave you that one, it's still 2 song on each album. But I respect your opinion. And appreciate you explaining your perspective. I think Aziatic was more lyrical, better concepts and started better. But both are great albums.

I think blueprint is better cause I like it better, fuck kinda questions are you asking

 

[grYmes]

Why compare Blueprint to Aziatic? Aziatic was a good album but at least two certified classics (The Fix & Stillmatic) dropped that year & are way better. AWOL might of been a better argument at least to me. Either way this a landside for Jay.

So I take it you don't know why you like it better. But I like how you can articulate your train of thought.

Stillmatic vs Blueprint been done. The Fix might be a good thread. I pick AZ because they both are extremely good lyricist. Both from Brooklyn. Both dropped claasic debuts a year apart. Both rapped about the same topics. Both these albums have the same vibe and feel. I think if AZ had to same backing Jay had, he might have been King of NY, who knows. I just think the both the same type of Mc.

Whats the top 3 AZ albums? Because to me Aziatic is flawless. But he does have other albums like that in his catalog.

Doe or die

The Format

Thinking about it Aziatic, AWOL and pieces of a man are 3 completely different albums but equally dope imo, even 9 lives isn't far behind and don't sleep on legendary either he got some classics on there as well

 

[its....JOHN B]

The Format is his best album imo

Disrespect me like this again you're going back in that oven

 

[trendsetta1030]

I fuck with AZ music.

But with that said aziatic a good album but the Blueprint a CLASSIC!

Vol1>bp

I don't necessary agree, but I see what you are saying. Both those albums had 2 songs on it that wasn't level 10 type songs. People hated on Vol 1 because it wasn't as good as Reasonable Doubt. But on its on merit, Vol 1 is more lyrical than Blueprint and is a great album. If it came out 5 albums later we might all be calling it a classic. Side by side to BP, they are close in quality. Aziatic is a classic because every song on it is amazing and on level 10. There are no misstep on it.

Lucky me,where I'm from,you must love me,who you with

No… is no comparison talmbout they even quality level…
