THANK YOU for recognizing regrets as his best song. i been tellin people that for years. there is no more heartfelt song ever, i live by those words in the chorus. not only my favorite jay-z song, but my favorite song period. remember newton? mutual friend, well me and him feudin, on your life i tried to talk to him
on another note, i definitely woulda had imaginary player in that list somewhere and either say hello or party life.. that party life joint has been in heavy rotation lately.. soo soulfoul

I think Vol III is really good.
NYMP, Come and Get Me, and the Hova Song pieces all together would be sick as a song too

YES YES YES, cant argue with this,. now this is a list, almost exactly like I would have made it, just sans beach chair, maybe instead a banger off AG and then move Dopeman up a little and…YES

JL – I prefer the OG “U Don’t Know” to the remix. I still don’t think MOP added anything to the song. They didn’t make it “hotter” for lack of better term…the track was flames before they hopped on it. That’s just me.

yo Deez i see you mentioned the Song Cry Coldplay Remix – for me those lyrics come out best on DJ Soul’s Assorted Donuts with Dilla’s beat ‘Cry’ in the background. awesome verses, awesome beat, and the two fit together perfectly.

The BP2 track is funny, tho, when Jay incorrectly identifies the soprano vocals as flutes on the production. Anyway, I don’t think it’s really a classic; BP2 classics = Bitches and Sisters, Meet The Parents, Hovi Baby…that’s it.

wow….what an awful list!!u left out so many classics!!!

Nobody mentioned the title track off Blueprint 2! That sample from “The Good, Bad, and the Ugly” and how he admits defeat to Nas while still dissing him and his introspective lyrics? One of my favorite Hov songs and Nas is my all time favorite, ironic lol.

good read, agree with 99% of the list though.

Replace ‘Dope Man’ with ‘Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)’ imo that is one of Hov’s greatest songs. Very good list though, i think most people would agree but my personal all time favourite Jay song is ‘Feelin’ It’

Reasonable Doubt > many rappers’ existance

I agree with most of the track choices. Goo list. Regrets is one of my all time favorite songs and a very overlooked song at that.

BP2 gets too much shit. There were some bad songs on it, but the songs that hit….hit HARD

idk how anyone coul say MOP didnt add anything to the U Dont Know Remix. Jay had the lyrics, but MOP was the heart of that song. without them on that song it wouldnt be one of my favorite joints.

I did retweet! I guess it’s in grained in me.

No this is not a timeless list, but I’m pretty sure nothing on BP3 is fuking with many of these sones. I’ll tell you all Tuesday night.

did you just Re tweet away from twitter?

that’s big

I know what your saying… but this isn’t the timeless list is it? lol. I feel you though. I think you’ll enjoy BP3 Thomas. I liked it on first listen. I think it’s somewhere in the middle of Jay Z albums. Not great but not as bad as some are making it out to be. Deez Empire is a different song to me than the ones you mentioned. Deez you should put up your top 10 worst songs too. I’m curious

“when taking a song into consideration for this list, I take “Time” as a huge factor.” << RT

It’ll be interesting to see how well these song age. Still haven’t listened to it…BP3

when taking a song into consideration for this list, I take “Time” as a huge factor.

How do I know I’ll be listening to Empire State of Mind 4 years down the road? If I’m not, then that’s a big breaker, isn’t it?

Besides, it wouldn’t cut this list anyways. If December 4th, Imaginary Player, and Izzo didn’t, why would Empire state of mind?
