I think it's funny that people act like Jadakiss is infallible when he's never even made a GOOD solo album. I'm not even asking for a great one. Just a good one.
I actually agree with most of this list, bar the NORE statement, because N.O.R.E. was great and the Life After Death statement, but it's not like I haven't heard that before.

I'm also curious as to where he was getting these "crazy spins". Not to take away from that record, but duke dropped 5 singles for the album to barely go gold at a time when singles were going gold.

I remember Can't knock the hustle, Brooklyn's finest & D'evils getting constant rotation along with A'int no
-just because it didn't get pop chart success, it was being played everywhere in the streets.
Album featured Biggie and released dead bang in the middle of the East/West coast beef ...how can you guys say it went unnoticed?

Not unnoticed, but not even a fraction of the fanfare a Jay album gets. Not sure where your at Firepower, but in NYC it really was just another rap album. And even Jay was salty about not getting hometown love. Had it not been for "Ain't no .." we probably wouldn't be having this convo.

Did you completely miss out on Kiss of Death or something?? Outside of those 2 wack songs with Kanye West and Pharrell, that
album was dope as hell.

Uhhh...Shoot Outs, Why, Welcome to D-Block, Bring You Down, Time's Up, Real Hip Hop, Still Feel Me...how has Jadakiss "never even
made a good album" with all those on here?

Wish I still had my Westwood radio show tapes (I'm in the UK btw so I know you're going to say that doesn't even count
I should clarify that I'm in no way a Jay Z fanboy, it was merely another rap album for me as well -only reason I even got a copy is because a DJ friend of mine gave me a promo copy a few months before it released, but I do distinctly remember those songs gettingmajor play over here that year
...along with "put it in my mouth"

for the time RD came out,it definately has been overrated. That year there was just too much heat.

I'm not doubting you Firepower, just saying that album pretty much came and went. A lot of the younger members on this board (not saying you) find it hard to believe that the mighty Jay Z didn't come out the gate the way they think he did.

Am I the only one that like kiss tha game goodbye (outside of a couple wack songs)

Ehhh, Kiss Tha Goodbye has a couple of nice tracks, but to me as a whole the album is very forgettable.
