Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter (1999)

I forget which publication listed this as Jay-Z's best album but the rest of their list seemed pretty legit so I figured it was a good next move after the big 3 given how much I've been enjoying The Black Album lately.  But I wasn't really feeling it; like Kanye, one of Jay's biggest strengths is that it seems like he always has something to say (off the top I can't think of a more substantive personal album than The Black Album), but I can't recall a single lyric of note here.  Alright I was kinda high and I only listened to it once but that hasn't stopped me from loving the hell out of a lot of albums that have become favorites.  I'll give it another shot one of these days, I was enjoying the flow and it's worth a listen for Big Pimpin alone.
