I dunno, a few got love at time of release, but fundamentally, Jay z got it right on takeover.
Having said that, it's not like he's been completely terrible since. There's a solid greatest hits to be made of post illmatic tracks at least.
Who shot ya for a start.
I'm still great and you still love it. -

Agree. Never understand why my colleague goes mental for Nas releases. We listen with a headphone splitter at work and there's never any need to get as into it as he does imo. Each to their own obvs but Nas is Illmatic and then individual tracks for me. -

I love Mellon Collie, probably one of the few double albums I’ve heard which I felt held up as a double.
However, it was the first Pumkins album I heard, so it might be partially nostalgia swaying me.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime -

Gish is really good, but I came to it much later in life. SD and Mellon Collie are so fucking amazing, top albums of all time for me.
I stopped at anything after the greatest hits record (rotten apples), did try Oceania and monuments, and some of the new one. They aren’t terrible, just a bit mediocre really.
I thought Zwan was really good… -
Agreed with Zwan. I still revisit that and Gish every other year or so

Absolute prime candidate. Literally one full length album, and it's a banger.I'm still great and you still love it. -
I meant to buy that once. I think he was on Jools Holland, which I missed, and a friend was texting me about how much I'd like it. So working from not much information and not many choices on Amazon I ended up with this by mistake:
Didn't hate it. -
Lol. It is really good. listened to it 3 times through today.I'm still great and you still love it.

That’s probably the last JA album I’d have picked.
Howdy, Stranger!
