Since the release of this album I've listened to it at least twice every year, yes both Jay and Kanye have released better albums than this one individually, but a collaborative i doubt they would be able to follow up this one, that's how great of collabo this is. Head to head on the album Jay out raps Kanye, but Kanye he hold his own too, murder to excellence is a Kanye song no doubt and no church in the wild and that's as far as it goes for him. The Jay boddies him in everything, Welcome to the Jungle Jay is just insane. Great album overall.
