re: What is the best rap album of all time?

Can someone explain why jay z is not on any of these picks. no reasonable doubt?

I love Jay-Z, but his overall body of work is better than any one album. Reasonable Doubt was his best lyricism, but some of the beats don't stand out. The Black Album has the best beats, but lyrically it isn't very deep.

I will say, the second verse of D'Evils is my favorite rap verse ever. The wordplay and overall picture he paints is on another level.

"We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her shite started to make sense
Who could ever forsee, we used to stay up all night at slumber parties
Now I'm trying to rock this bitch to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears, know she's wishing we were still close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine, D'Evils..."

Such an incredible verse on so many levels.
