Reasonable Doubt is one of the worst I'd think. He gets stronger as he creates.
I'm not a big rap guy so I'm sure I should be saying something hip like the young kids are but I feel like Jay-Z above all other rappers is an artist. He has an idea of where things are going musically, and especailly as it relates to the lyrics.
I don't know what to tell you other than most things I hear from him, on his own album are pretty great. If he shows up on someone elses (R. Kelly, Nas) I think he's not as good. (Black Republican especailly seemed Mailed in)
My favorite tracks are (and in the order I think you should listen to them are)
Takeover
Lucifer
99 Problems
Dirt off your shoulders
30 Something.
Try em. Let me know. Also, dig the huge David Bowie swipe in Takeover.
