Disc. Battle Jay-z's Reasonable Doubt vs. Blueprint 1

In this battle I’ll put Jay-z’s 2 best albums against each other…that’s right: Reasonable Doubt(1996) vs. Blueprint 1(2001). OP Is a tie. Album Reasonable Doubt Blueprint Result Singles B+ A+ BP Lyrics A+ A+ Tie Beats A A+ BP Cohesiveness A+ A+ Tie Legacy A+ A RD Final Result: A close battle. The winner is the 1 st Blueprint. The two albums tied in lyrics and Cohesiveness. However I felt BP’s beats are flawless, while some on RD aren’t as stellar….even considering the time difference. RD did have more of a legacy than BP1.

Discography Battle: T.I.'s King vs. Paper Trail

This battle will see T.I.’s King(2006) vs. Paper Trail(2008). The opening opinion is that Paper Trail is better. Let’s get this battle going. Album King Paper Trail Result Singles A+ A King Lyrics A- A Paper Beats A+ A+ Tie Cohesivness A- A Paper Legacy A A Tie Final Result: Well it was somewhat close, but Paper Trail is the superior album. King had better singles (What You Know, Front Back, Live in the Sky)…but that was it. T.I.’s lyrics on Paper Trail were a tad bit better. Also Paper Trail was a slightly more cohesive album. Overall though, this was a close matchup. I think these are the best 2 albums in his discography.
