1 - Blueprint
2 - Reasonable Doubt
3 - American Gangster
4 - 4:44
5 - The Black Album
Typically I wouldn't even consider a new album in a list like this so soon. But 4:44 is really built to age well - only 10 tracks, focused lyrical content, consistent production, no attempts at a club/radio banger, no random filler tracks.
The Black Album specifically could have been CLASSIC with the same focus. Change Clothes, Threat, and Justify My Thug could have all been cut, leaving it with 11 tracks (10 songs not counting the intro) of HEAT.
Honestly, 4:44 has a chance of moving up in my list after some time. American Gangster could have cut Hello Brooklyn. I go back and forth on Ain't No Nigga on RD. Blueprint was flawless.
