Um, I was just kidding but to say Jay's albums/music haven't aged well is MORE absurd. His catalog runs deep and if I were to bump Hard Knock Life anywhere, you'd see people's head nod immediately.
I'm actually a fan of both. But Jay IMO hasn't even fallen off as of yet. Dude still spits hot fire and produced the first subpar album since I don't even remember in his last album.
That's all good, but I'm not bullshitting about Hard Knock Life. When I was fourteen I loved that shit, but man besides Ride or Die, Hard Knock Life, Money Cash Hoes, A Week Ago I really can't get down with the rest of it. (I was never that big of a fan of "Nigga What", and Ja Rule and Amil ruined "Can I get a" for me) I still think that Hard Knock Life is a very good album and I know most people will defend it because it's his most popular CD, but I don't think it is a classic (however Black Album, Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt are classics).
