The dynasty album era is an underrated moment in Jay z’s career. I lived all these tick rock beats.

I get what your saying. I agree. When it comes to some of Jay’s best albums this one isn’t mentioned.

@flynt01

We took this era of Rap for granted. It's a shame.

@bobdigi88

Yeah I kinda thought it was better than average, but not as good as PAC, Wu Tang, Nas, Biggie and De La Soul, and it wasn't, but its still fuckin good.

@bobdigi88

@vcorr2288 yeah you're right of course. I remember shitting on Ja Rule at the time too. Now I even appreciate what he did. I'm still not gonna listen to his music, but I appreciate his talent. And even he was way more talented than this eras mumble rappers.
