JAY-Z top tracks

I will be delving into my favorite musicians' catalogs, ranking songs album by album.  I also will be ranking my favorite non-album appearances of theirs.  Only officially-released songs will be considered.

Here are the categories and their breakdowns:

ALBUMS: For every single-disc album of nine or more tracks, my top five (in sequential tracklist order) will be selected; for an album of eight or fewer tracks, four will be chosen; and for a double-disc, ten.  Only songs on the original official tracklist are eligible.  Hidden tracks and tracks labeled as bonuses will be eligible for inclusion in the miscellaneous section, as will songs included on re-releases.

GUEST APPEARANCES: Depending on the size of the artist's catalog, there will be either ten or twenty selections from songs on other artists' albums or singles.  This includes that other artist's remixes.

COMPILATION APPEARANCES: Once again ten or twenty depending on catalog, songs that are exclusively on compilations, such as greatest hits albums, soundtracks, etc.  Even if they are billed as a feature on another artist's song, any compilation appearances will appear here.

MISCELLANEOUS: Essentially non-album tracks--IE, bonus/hidden tracks, b-sides, remixes, and non-album singles.  Up to ten will be selected.

*For catalogs not expansive enough (or that I do not have much of), non-album tracks will possibly be placed in a single miscellaneous list*
