Dead Presidents is the most beautifully sampled rap song of all time

[@TheRealest127]

Reasonable Doubt is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@tamikaevans7517]

Christian Rosales. Right j went straight older school joints in this. For this to be his first record to be recorded being sign to a recording label fresh💪🎤Rockefeller y'all💎

[@lukamg7368]

Tamika Evans lol it was HIS record label after all labels rejected him, he went on to be the best rapper to ever hold a mic, unimaginable

[@myemailaccount3046]

@@lukamg7368 they didn't reject him. Not in the way you're thinking. They felt he was asking for too much -> he just didn't want a slave deal. Look how far he's come, now he's giving slave deals and f'ing up careers.

[@lukamg7368]

joe kiva TF?! He’s far from handing slave deals dude look up ur “facts”, he literally lets artists that sign to him to establish their own record labels, J Cole is a live example.

Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt two of the best albums in Hip-Hop

[@ill-nois2282]

Those are all great as well, between all of these I really can't choose one

[@JonathanPereiraDaFranca]

I agree. But MBDTF too, top 3 of all time. Nas, Jay and Kanye.

[@SntJoe]

Tbh, MBDTF is amazing but an overrated album. Def not a top 5 album of all-time, it's top 30 at best IMO. But in regards to Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt, you can argue that these two are def top 2 albums of all-time.

[@cameronrawls9563]

You're right ...I agree... not even a question #1

[@ogcookies9728]

Jonathan SCCP mbdtf isn't even kanyes best album in my opinion. it's a great album but I think it's impact was what made it even better, it proved Kanye hadn't fallen off after 808s when everyone doubted him. I think it's safe to say college dropout belongs in the top 3-5 of all time

[@MateChocolate94]

Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, & Black Album are the 3 Hov undisputed classics. Production & Lyrical content.

[@justinmellerson3053]

Maté Chocoláte American gangsta too

[@MateChocolate94]

So true, I forget how detailed he was on this album

[@michaelcarter1180]

Maté Chocoláte don't forget about volume 1

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

forget 444 blueprint black box

[@mrq.1236]

4:44 is his newest album (excluding the Carters collab album), but it’s definitely already up there in the top 5, at least for me. Such a good album

[@AMPMopen247]

"A Garden of Peace" by Lonnie Liston Smith is so beautiful...

[@almadeunrebel]

Alexandre Pérez-Mecking im telling u piano beats go the hardest. think of illmatic ny state of mind at the other end of that spectrum

[@amadeogarcia7949]

That Lonnie Sample has to be one of the most classic samples in Hip-Hop.

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

I agree.

[@osvaldohernandez5890]

I never ever hit the skip button when playing This album! Top to bottom classics, his best work in my opinion

I'm hooked on this now, since the 2Pac episode.. Nothing like sum good old hip hop .... A true Classic Jay Z album

[@bonkcaesar9849]

The fact that this was his first album that was released independently and had this many sample, should tell you Jay was really getting money in the streets. Samples are not cheap.

Depends. It was different in the 90s

[@lukamg7368]

9:22 greatest sample and greatest rap song of all time hands down, u could tell by the guy’s reaction and how he let the whole verse go on, he only did this with the Dead Presidents verse throughout the whole series. 🐐

[@carlosrp23]

Reasonable Doubt is hands down one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all time. BTW, Nas' It Was Written turns 20 on July 2nd, will you be doing something with that one?

[@vinnypagan9764]

Still considering it, but I did a few joints of "It Was Written" on Nas' bday edition of Wax Only last year...still might do it tho.

[@Coskiii]

+Vinny Pagan you got to it bruh, It Was Written is a slept on classic

[@juanboss560]

Jacob Thomas, its not really a slept on classic. A lot of people know it as a classic. That album went Double Platinum in the Us, & Street Dreams went Gold in the US. It has been seen as Nas's 2nd best album.

[@Ezekiel144k]

Juan Boss street dreams is not the title of nas' second album. It's "it was written". It was written went double platinum, and it's nas highest selling album at just over 2 million sold.

[@juanboss560]

+nnamdi uwasomba I know "Street Dreams" wasn't the name of his album, if you paid attention.

[@Barrydavillain]

Blueprint is a 5 mic, but Reasonable Doubt is on another level. The beats, the rhymes, the stories, the persona, the pain, it just didn't get any better for him. When he said "Telling my family I'll be back soon, that was December", I felt a hole in my chest, that was real.

[@icestarr1572]

Isaac Hayes "The Look of Love" has one of the best intros.

[@jonzstarvision7831]

I attended one of Mos Def’s concerts at USC early 2,000’s (forgot the exact year...Charlie Tuna opened) Mos and his DJ were the first I personally saw and heard play the current hip hop and it’s original classic samples used. Though I’ve been to tons of shows and several of Mos Shows that was the such a dope segment in the show. This video series is an extension of that concept.

I believe he did one for Lo.

[@east32nd]

Metal Faced Gamer he did camp los album . They say jay z heard skis beats meant for camp lo and bought them at a higher price . And they all became the reasonable doubt album . Hence why it has that 70s soulful vibe which is definitely camp lo’s sound . I hear that crippled them and they never came back from that . Sad if it’s true .

Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint are my favorite Jay-Z albums as well they both are monumental and are still relevant to this day, they definitely will go down as Hip-Hop's greatest albums of all time #LengendaryClassics

[@aaronbrown0417]

Reasonable doubt was not monumental at all when it came out... he was just a middle of the road rapper... you forget ppl like bone, 2pac, biggie, fugees were dropping the biggest albums at the time... it wasn't until AFTER when he started talking about how great it was did ppl pay attention....I been a jayz fan since 1996 trust me jayz want even big big until 98 2 albums After THIS
