I do like Kingdom Come... but I think it's in the bottom third of his work. I should say that even the ones in the bottom tier, I mostly don't think are terrible.
I know Streets Is Watching isn't really a Jay-Z album. But it's y'know... it's something I do think of when thinking of his discography. Like QB's Finest sticks in my mind as a Nas album, but it's not a Nas album.
Blueprint 2... I don't know how we hear that album so differently. It's overly long, yes. But it's got a ton of great stuff on there. The title track is a great example of a track that could have fit in perfectly on the first album. There's plenty on there that I love - and when that album came out I was so obsessed w/ it.
