Reasonable Doubt vs The Blueprint.. which album is the better album?..

[CJ]

Close but imma go with BP

Lyrically, RD is better. Overall vibes - The Blueprint is better.

That David Ruffin sample on "Never Change" is timeless.

I like RD better. It was a rawer and purer album.

BP is more processed and pop friendly. That's not really my thing.

 

[YamoleySensei]

Reasonable Doubt (aka his best album to date and only classic)...

 

[PK_TK_187]

i cant decide but since it kept Nas' career afloat i picked Blueprint

 

[S2J]

I stopped tryin to decide years ago.

BP had more impact in hip hop and Jay's career, but RD will always be my personal favorite from Jay. That joint was flawless, even the weaker tracks were only weak by default. Put Cashmere Thoughts or Regrets on any other Jay album and it would stand out. BP had That Nigga Jigga. Eww.

 

[unspoken_respect]

Bring It On is my joint

 

[D_Rap_Scholar]

Reasonable Doubt, but I'm a little biased against BP, because I feel it's kinda overrated. In fact, I would take The Black Album over The Blueprint anyday

 

[lamontbdc]

RD for me

 

[AZTG]

it aint even close

 

[Rue_Flexington]

I put blueprint at number 2

 

[Lou Cypher]

RD. BP was dope but i enjoyed RD more.

 

[S2J]

RD might have the slght edge as far as overall music, but BP has 3 songs especially that make me lean toward it

Never Change

Song Cry

Momma Loves Me

Aside from Regrets, RD doesnt have the same personal/soulful/depth as BP, those 3 songs in particular.

Yes, RD had Can I Live, D'Evils, etc., but on BP it was more heart-felt, emotional...

"You that kid Kanye? Yo Jay got classics to ya beats"

[Melanin_Enriched]

They both 3/5 albums so can't decide

 

[clairvoyance]

American Gangster vs Reasonable doubt would of made a more intresting thread.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Interesting how? RD is a classic and AG is mediocre.

 

[genocidecutter]

RD. They both classics though
