Blueprint might be more impactful, but RD is overall a better album.
Reasonable Doubt vs The Blueprint.. which album is the better album?..

RD and it's really not even close to me. BP=overrated and AG/TBA are underrated. The production/vibe on BP is classic but jay's rhymes on RD>>>>. I still listen to "feelin' it" at least once a day...

I think production wise in total meaning not just the beats but the mixing n arrangement blueprint is ahead of rd but beats wise their neck and neck. ski was jay's original go to sound n pretty much got him aside fr jaz's ain't no nigga. I'd put dead presidents against u don't know or takeover anyday n I think a lot of people would say its as good as the other or better.

So I listened to American Gangster like I said I would, and if ya'll really like that album well God Bless ya. To me the only really good songs are Roc Boys and I know. Everything else ranges from OK to bad. Overall, the album is just boring to me. Every song either has good lyrics from Jay but boring delivery and production or he's spitting nicely but ain't saying anything interesting. How anyone can think it's anywhere near as good as Reasonable Doubt is a mystery to me.

I'm all about replay value so I chose BP. Something about that album has kept it in my rotation for Years.. I can't say that for RD.

Not even close for me, R.D. is so overrated. Shit is so dated, album didn't age well at all. Blueprint the production is incredible and Jay was at his peak flow wise.
Blueprint easily!!!! And Im not bias, I happen to be listening to the reasonable dought shit driving home from work today and I thought about the IC, I swear to God without even knowin this topic was made lol. I could only bump like 3 songs today real talk and im being trill wit chall right now. smh Shit's so overated and im not no 15 year old kid saying this, Im a grown man that actually love that 90's shit, atleast most of it. D Evils is about the only joint that even aged well. I be tryin really hard you guys but I just don't see what yall see in that overated, half the beats are bland, shit. Even' Jigga that nigga' Jay's worse joint on blueprint, beatwise shits on 80 percent of reasonable dought. On Blueprint no songs sounded the same which allowed each joint to have it's own personality. I mean...what are we really talking about here? Lets put it this way, If 'You don't know' came on one radio station and you turn the station and the simp anthem 'Aint no nigga' is on...which one are yall gonna turn to and turn the volume up? You RD heads are on all types of drugs.

Jigga warriors give me some pointers on how to listen to reasonable doubt. im dead serious. Everytime I listen to RD that shit make me sleepy and agitated. Im not trying to be funny im serious. What kind of mindstate do you have to be to vibe with RD? What do you guys usually do while RD is playing? What are yall thoughts while RD is playing?

This is a hard 1 to vote for. Jigga is in my top 2 of all time and both albums are classics. He has 4 classics in my opinion- RD,VOL 1,Blueprint,The Black album. Too many classics on both alubms-Bring It On, Brooklyn's Finest, Dead Presidents, The Takeover, Never Change, Momma Loves Me, You Don't Know....Can't decide. He was lyrically better on RD, but had a better flow on Blueprint.The production is top notch on both 2. I guess Blueprint had Just Blaze and Kanye at the top of their game.

...all aint makin the cutting room floor for Reasonable Doubt
Neither would The rulers back but it gets a pass for being an intro track
Reasonable Doubt is perfect. The only track i skip is "Aint No Nigga"
I was never a big Jay Z fan but RD is one of the greatest albums ever.
