Wow, I'm surprised you gave Blueprint 4 stars, Powell. I figured you'd be the one pushing the 5 star status on that one

Based on what I've heard:
Reasonable Doubt - 4 stars The Blueprint - 4 stars The Black Album - 4 stars American Gangster - 3.75 stars
Not really a fan of Jay-Z, so the ratings are obviously lower.

Speaking of Ignorant Shit...
That beat sounds awfully like Summer With Miami (Jim Jones) and some other beat which I can't recall at the moment...
Also, Royce tears that track a new one...

Yeah Shon I loved Blueprint man, but I don't think it was even close to being Jay'z best work like most heads
I've got it ranked 4th or 5th in his catalog

I agree, it's madddddddddd overrated by everyone, basically. RD, In My Lifetime, and Black Album all have it beat to me (the rankings show how I feel the album should be rated, regardless of bias or anything of that nature)

I can't beleive all the low ratings for Kingdom COme I really dig that album. If he would have left off two trks I skip it would be near classic.

Initially I gave that album about 3.75 stars, but I gave it a lower rating over time due to weak replay value.
