Jay-Z’s Favorite Album: Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’

Jay-Z appeared on On the Record with Rhapsody, where the hip hop mogul talked about his favorite records, in exactly 45 seconds. Jay said Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’ is his top pick. “‘Off The Wall’ was one of those albums that was timeless, that didn’t have a genre,” Jay explained. “It was colorless. It was ageless, like me and my mom listen to it. I listen to it. It was just like one of those things that the whole family listened to. I think it was a perfect album. I think ‘Thriller’ although was the biggest album, you know had huge records, but these records that were on ‘Off the Wall’ were so timeless and emotional.”
