JAY-Z - Please educate me fellas

[JazMerkin]

I'd say Jay-Z is easily the best rapper there is today, only Eminem, Nas & Lupe Fiasco are competing with him in my opinion.

Reasonable Doubt is a great album, standout tracks to download Dead Presidents II, Regrets, Brooklyn's Finest (great chance to hear him & Biggie together), Can I Live & Can't Knock The Hustle.

I'd also recommend The City Is Mine & You Must Love Me from In My Lifetime Vol. 1.

The Roc La Familia: Dynasty album has some great tracks, the definite downloads should be Can't Be Life, Where Have You Been, Soon You'll Understand, Parking Lot Pimpin', Guilty Until Proven Innocent & even the Intro on this album is hard.

The Blueprint has some ill ones, mainly Heart Of The City, Takeover, Jigga That Nigga, Renegade, Song Cry & U Don't Know.

The Blueprint 2 is underrated imo, some great songs on here. My personal favourite is the album opener Blueprint 2 which is to the tune of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly theme, The Bounce with Kanye is also hard, The Watcher 2 is almost as good as the Dr. Dre original. Rocky is pretty good as well, whilst Guns & Roses & 2 Many Hoes are live. The standout track though has to be A Dream, which features Biggie & Faith Evans. One of the best rap songs of this decade.

The Black Album is ok, not as good as some of the others in my opinion, but still has some very good songs like Threat, Encore, Moment Of Clarity & 99 Problems, which you've probably heard.

Kingdom Come is another underrated album, has 2 truly great tracks on it in Lost One & Minority Report. Dig A Hole & Show Me What You Got are also decent songs.

American Gangster wasn't really up to standard for me, but Roc Boys & Pray are both good tunes.

Blueprint 3 is his most recent album, again I was a bit disappointed with it, but Run This Town, A Star Is Born & Reminder are a good listen.

Anyway that's all I could think of off the top of my head, but you should check some of those out.
