As you're probably aware by now, Jay Z celebrated his 44th birthday today. We did a list of our own for Hov, looking at some of his top album tracks but the rapper decided to post a list of his own on his Life + Times blog, and it's definitely of interest.
Jay posted a photo of all his solo albums and ranked them, even offering some insight as to why he put things where he did. Peep the ranking from 1-12 below and let us know if you agree or disagree.
This follows Hov's announcement that he's going vegan.
