    As much beef as they had, i consider Nas & Jay Z the 1st and 2nd best rappers of all time in no order.

    1. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

      …..YOU ARE SO CORRECT! JAY’S WORTH ALMOST $700 MILLION WITH NUMEROUS $UCCE$$FUL BU$INE$$ VENTURES WHILE 50 CENT IS FIGHTING BANKRUPTCY & WASHED UP AS A RAPPER!

    Reasonable doubt wasn’t the album that made jay z famous.. RD flopped and jay z was about to retire from rapping… blue print made jay z famous.

    1. Mike Bubbster says:

      It was actually the album with hard knock life on it that took J to the next level but what started it off was the ain’t no nigga with Foxy Brown record

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        1. Mike Bubbster says:

    3. 50 Senseless says:

      True story! Nobody cared about this record upon release. I remember vividly.

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        Exactly

      2. marty mcfly says:

        It was an indie album in 1996. Most people didn’t know the album even existed in 96. Most people found out about Jayz in 97 (on JD’s song Money Aint A Thing) and in 98…

    4. THE WORLD FAMOUS DOPEMAN!! says:

      VOL. 2 MADE JAY FAMOUS!! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, PACO!!

      FUCK YOUR OPINION!!

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        I can’t argue

    5. Vurbz Fenomeno says:

      But I don’t understand. Who said it was?

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        Jay z did…

        1. Vurbz Fenomeno says:

          Nah he said the album saved his life …nothing more

          1. el jim chapo guzman says:

            I guess I answered your question than.

          2. Vurbz Fenomeno says:

            Are u retarded? U said “famous” not that it saved his life..lol ..I’m done ..have fun in remedial class

          3. el jim chapo guzman says:

            What’s the difference.. Being famous saved his life.

          4. Vurbz Fenomeno says:

            Ok, let me break it down for your simple ass. He got saved from Reasonable Doubt because it took him out of the street. He got famous off of Vol 1 on the strength of “Aint no Ni**a”. One Album saved him from the streets, the other got him famous. There, does that make sense to your dumb ass. Legit tho, your parents failed u.

          5. el jim chapo guzman says:

            How dare you talk to me like that, I’ll kick your ass son.

          6. Blanc Rogers says:

  7. Ketchup sandwiches says:

    Dame Dash finna sue your ass he owns all the royalties to reasonable doubt

  8. ThaRealHater says:

    Jay Z is God.

  9. ilexx says:

    Reasonable Doubt is the definition of a classic album in my opinion.

    I’m going to say this with all respect to the greats but Reasonable Doubt > Ready To Die > Illmatic.

    I’m not saying that to convince anybody that’s how it should be but for me, in terms of replay value right now, I easily find myself pulling up RD and listening to it right through more than I do with Ready To Die and Illmatic. Now, I love both those albums, Ready To Die is phenomenal and Illmatic is a real quick easy listen but RD puts me in a certain vibe and Jay’s lyrics are as potent as ever. Packed with multiple punches in every bar, the skill level is sharper than a mothafucka.

    I’ll give credit where credit is due though, without Illmatic and Ready To Die, RD wouldn’t have been as great as it is. It’s actually very much like Jay heard these albums and just wanted to figure out his lane in that world and reasonable doubt is that perfect lane. Maybe it’s the hustler/entrepreneur in me but RD speaks to me in a different way.
