He's pretty close, but got Vol. 3 way too low. Putting it below American Gangster and BP3 is insane.

never got why people didn't like American Gangster. It still gets a lot of play from me.
he's pretty close to what I'd rank them, except i'd have the dynasty a little higher

American Gangster is boring as shit.
Rating an album that features Mr Hudson above anything is ridiculous.

Vol. 3 is really good. Make sense that a vegan sports agent wouldn't like it tho.

Reasonable Doubt Vol 1 Vol 2 Vol 3 Dynasty Blueprint 2 - its got more good songs im not messin Blueprint - idgaf if its his most well produced one, its mawkish fake family friendly phoned in jay bar a couple songs, Jay is supposed to be stuntin on us mortals not trying to pretend he is one. anyone that can listen to Song Cry without wanting to sell bogie crack and blood diamonds to the babies doesnt deserve a vote Black Album times ten
Ive not listened to the rest of them more than once and some of them not at all, weve been tricked

Vol 3 literally has 3 good songs in So Ghetto, Snoopy Track, and Big Pimpin. I know I am in the minority because people seem to really dig that album but I just don't see it. I even like more than 3 songs on KC.
edit: I liked Come and Get me as well. Forgot about that joint. Rest of the album is straight cringe worthy material.

"Dope Man" and "Watch Me" are choice. The Mariah song conjures fond memories too.

...and "There's Been a Murder."
I think people just have a bad taste for Volume 3 in their mouthes because of the lead single being so bafflingly non-lead-single-y, as well as there only being two official singles off the project.

And some copies had this classic tacked on too.

God, I hated Vol 3. To each their own. That's the beauty of music. Those videos remind me even more.
The way you guys feel about Vol 3 is how I feel about BP 2.
Excuse Me Miss
All Around The World
My Way
Diamond Is Forever
Guns N Roses
U Don't Know Remix
Meet The Parents
Somehow Some Way
Some People Hate
Blueprint 2
Show You How
Bitches & Sisters
What They Gon 2 Pt 2
There were a lot of jams on that album. The rest was blah and that is what hurt the album. It didn't need so many songs or be a double and the Bonnie And Clyde shit cast an initial shadow, but I got a lot of enjoyment bumping that shit. Vol 2 or 3 don't come close, imo. And Jay was spitting at a very high level on this.

I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't

Old lady, don't blow my high

How so, how Jay get up out that, here, yeah
I snatched purses I per-se-vered, yeah

I was out there sellin hope for despair, but stop there
I swear, I only meant good from my mouth to God's ears
Had to get out the hood
