Jay-z's Hard Knock Life

I was watching VH1's 100 greatest rap songs and saw that Hard Knock Life was included for Jay'z twist on the Annie song-the song is great, but what are opinions of Jay-z as a rapper? One of the best or no? I know his "Song Cry" is one of the best rap songs I have ever heard. He has to be one of the greatest rap/business men ever I mean 400 million! Is Jay-z really all that?

He has 3 great albums.

Reasonable Doubt

Blueprint

The Black Album

Yes he is considered one of the greats but all of his other albums havent been very consistent.

Well put! I'd like to add In My Lifetime Vol. 1 and American Gangster to that list.

I'm going to update the 3 to 4 and add "American Gangster". Take another listen to this cd. It's classic. I may have to come back to update this list. I have to think a minute...
