Jay-Z Explains Why His 'In My Lifetime, Vol. 1' Album 'Haunts Him'

by Daryl Nelson

Jay-Z has said many times in the past that he doesn't like his 1997 album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. and over the weekend he explained why.

He did it right after The Roots' Questlove tweeted about the album and tagged him.

Our main argument is his hate for Vol 1.
He is embarrassed for trying to make a monster & not putting numbers up. But ALOT of this lp contains his best moments. Fight me @sc https://t.co/Sch3uD6BIq

"Agreed," wrote Jay, who was just called out by T.I. for a Verzuz battle. "More so, I know what could have been,  so it haunts me … streets is watching was the first song made !"

What do you have to say about the LP after all these years?
