    RD/AG/TBA/BP are all 10/10 for me but if I had to choose probably between BP and AG. BP hov has so much charisma, even though lyrically TBA might be better

    This is the tale of lost innocence
    As the incense burn and the turntables turn
    And that Al Green plays (I'm alliiiive)

    Definitely one of my favorites from AG.

    All of AG is underrated imo.

    And even tho BP2 is dissappointing, The Watcher 2 remains top 10 jay song for me. Also have to give Dre his props for the beat tho (but thats where it stops, it's the ROC)

    Edit: rakim killed it too

    Nice list, you should go check that out it has a few filler tracks but it features some of his best work. It also was a look into the future since he invited Kanye, Bink! & Just Blaze to produce on it for the first time. Lastly it has arguably the greatest Intro in any rapper album ever.

    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.
