Guess Jay Z favorite albums from himself ? (We got the whole list)

#AMPtv got the word that Rap mogul Jay Z has treated diehard hip-hop fans to a classic debate by ranking his solo efforts from best to worst with his MJ comeback Kingdom Come at the bottom of the list.

In honor of his 44th birthday, Hov ranked his 12 solo records and offered insight into each project's position.

 1. Reasonable Doubt (Classic) 2. The Blueprint (Classic) 3. The Black Album (Classic) 4. Vol. 2 (Classic) 5. American Gangster (4 1/2, cohesive) 6. Magna Carta (F*ckwit, Tom Ford, Oceans, Beach, On the Run, Grail) 7. Vol. 1 (Sunshine kills this album...f*ck... Streets, Where I'm from, You Must Love Me...) 8. BP3 (Sorry critics, it's good. Empire (Gave Frank a run for his money)) 9. Dynasty (Intro alone...) 10. Vol. 3 (Pimp C verse alone... oh, So Ghetto) 11. BP2 (Too many songs. Fucking Guru and Hip Hop, ha) 12. Kingdom Come (First game back, don't shoot me)

(Life + Times) 

 During a rare Twitter Q&A last summer, Jay named Reasonable Doubt his top LP.

 Jay-Z has finally revealed a secret he's been keeping for decades ... HE LOVES CAPTAIN CRUNCH ... but only with crunch berries (duh). Jay went on a tweet-a-thon today ... answering all sorts of fan questions, when one guy asked if he had a favorite cereal. Hova replied, "cap'n crunch growing up. I haven't had cereal in a bit #factsonly]" ... adding, "crunch berries tho." Poor Franken Berry ... Other things we learned ... Jay thinks his new album is good, but not his best work -- in fact, he says "it can fight for 4th [best album]" behind Reasonable Doubt, Blue Print Vol.1 and The Black Album. He was also asked if he still has 99 problems "or have they all been sorted?" Jay's reply -- #newrules new problems." When asked if he owns a Picasso, Jay joked back ... "no..my birthday is DEC 4 though." Hope his pal Warren Buffet was paying attention ... he's about the only guy who can afford that kind of a gift.
