    Going to post a new artist every week. Discussion will be based around which is the best album from each artists discography. To start off for this first week, the artist at hand will be JAY Z. His longevity in the genre is rivaled by few when consistency is taken into account. Through this time, he has also been able to stay as one of the relevant faces in hip-hop.

    Similar to @CharlieWork 's Viewing/Listening threads, the person who decides next week's discussion will be chosen from the pool of contributors, so on and so forth. I will enter everyone in who has replied several times over the week and/or made a lengthy, well written post.

    To determine each weeks winner, there will be a ranking system. Rank the top 5 albums released by the artist.


    1st Place = 5 Points
    2nd Place = 4 Points
    3rd Place = 3 Points
    4th Place = 2 Points
    5th Place = 1 Point

    Let me know if you would like to be added to the mention list.

    The Blueprint goddamm it had it all: A diss track that ended a career & revived a career, trend-setting production that further propelled the careers of two legendary producers (wish Bink! had a bigger discography), multiple occasions of Jay displaying his superb penmanship throughout the many memorable songs and the sequencing was fantastic (besides a few bumps like Jigga That n----- & sort of Hola Hovito).

    edit: read the op and forgot to rank his albums: Blueprint, Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, American Gangster, Vol. 2

    Embarrassed to say I've never heard a full-length Hov album before. Could someone please steer me in the right direction as to which album to listen to as a starting point?
