    TBA is probably my favorite Jay album, I can't really pick. Stuck between TBA, BP1, and RD.

    Ok then, if you think he's overrated, SHOW ME another rapper who has been rapping for 20 years and can still spit a verse like;

    How should I begin this? I'm just so offended
    How am I even mentioned by all these f---ing beginners?
    I'm so appalled, I might buy the mall
    Just to show n----s how much more I have in store
    I'm fresher than you all, so I don't have to pause
    All of y'all can s--- my balls through my drawers
    Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero
    Or live long enough to see yourself become a villain
    I went from the favorite to the most hated
    But would you rather be underpaid or overrated?
    Moral victories is for minor league coaches
    And 'Ye already told you we major, you cockroaches
    Show me where the boats is, Ferrari Testarossas
    And Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused
    I lost 30 mil, so I spent another 30
    Cause unlike Hammer, thirty million can't hurt me
    f---ing insane, the f--- am I saying?
    Not only am I fly, I'm f---ing not playing
    All these little b------s too big for they britches
    Burning they little bridges, f---ing ridiculous


    Go on, shouldn't be that hard, i mean Jay Z is over rated, there's plenty of rappers who can rap/write at this level after 20 years and 12+ albums.

    MCHG was overhyped before it came out, completely shat on after it failed to meet expectations, and ended up actually being kind of underrated imo

    MCHG is a severely overhated album

    Full of gems

    T.I. signed with Roc Nation. And probably said before, he and Jay collaborated for his new album

    Rhyme No More is a classic in every sense of the way but this remix had one of the most menacing Preemo beats I've ever heard

    What More Can I Say outro is some of the most realest s--- I've seen a rapper spit
    A CEO's mind, that marketing plan was me
    And no I ain't get shot up a whole bunch of times
    Or make up s--- in a whole bunch of lines
    And I ain't animated like, say, Busta Rhymes

    But the real s--- you get when you bust down my lines
    Add that to the fact I went plat' a bunch of times
    Times that by my influence on pop culture
    I'm supposed to be number one on everybody list
    We'll see what happens when I no longer exist
