In this conversation, we talk about the upcoming 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt (June 25th, 1996) and reflect on the impact the album had on hip hop culture, lyricism, storytelling, and the rise of Jay-Z as one of rap’s all time greats. We revisit standout records, legendary verses, the mafioso rap era, and discuss whether the album still holds up as one of the greatest rap debuts ever released. From its influence on generations of artists to the way fans view the project today, this is a full conversation on the legacy of a certified classic three decades later.
