Jay-z was in the UK to finish the Blueprint 3. That’s right he’s recorded several tracks out here, and is working with the UK’s very own Chase and Status. I caught up with him to talk about the forth-coming album, Blueprint 3. Jay wasn’t allowing any cameras in the building, so this is a slide show rather than video footage.
out here? …you in the UK Mek?

(Jay-Z)
We are,

Pledge your allegiance,

all black everything,
black cards, blacks cars,
all black everything,
and that girls a black birds riding with their dillingers,
i get more in depth,
if you boys really real enough
This is la Familia, I’ll explain later,
but for now let me get back to this paper,
I’m a couple bands down,
and im tryin get back,
I gave doug a grip and lost a flip for five stacks,
me im talking 5 comma 6 zero’s, got zero’s, (?)
back to running circles round..
now we squared up, Hold uuuup
(Rihanna – Chorus)
Life’s a game and but its not fair,
I break the rules so I don’t care,
So i keep doing my own thing,
walking tall against the rain,
victory’s within the mile,
almost there don’t give up now,
only thing thats on my mind is who’s gon run this town tonight,
heeeeey, heeeey, heeeey
who’s gon run this town tonite,
[Jay-Z]

Microphone fiend, this the return of The God,
Peace God,

Im in mason, ah, martin, margella,
on the table screaming f-ck the other side they jealous,
we got a banquet full of broads,
they got a table full of fella’s,

yeah, my whole team got dough,
so my banquet is looking like millionaires row.

[Chorus]
[Kanye West]
Its crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow,
to everybody on your d-ck, no homo,
i bought my whole family whips, no volvo’s
Next time I’m in Church please no photos,
police escorts, everybody passports,
this the life that everybody ask for
This the fast life we are on a crash course
what you think i rap for to push a f-cking Rav 4,
but i know that if I stay stunting,
all these girls only gon want one thing,
i can spend my whole life good will hunting,
only good gon come is its good when Im ….,

Now This was a grand interview. The other day some radio station interviewed the game and the focus of the interview was mainly Beef: Jay Z: Jay Z: Beef. He threw In “A Couple Of Movie” tie-ins etc etc. With Jay Z: He gave distinctive insight on the blueprint trilogy, the focus of Blueprints 1,2,3. His Status as a live performer and how important it is to instill new elements to enhance the performance. He spoke on upcoming artists that have a passion for this culture He bigged up Wale (Who Jay Co-signed) but also shined Kudos on Kid Cudi and Drake (Well Game So Much for Jay Z not letting younger Cats make money). I could say more but in closing what game did in his interview was pull shots, make threats & tell the world how un-insipring Jay’s Music is, when in fact Jay at this moment is at his artistic peak (even though he wont say that). D.O.A. a track memorized by everyone two days after it was premiered on the summer jam stage (I dont think game has ever made a song so impactful that it was memorized that quickly) I.e. P.S.A. Izzo, What More Can I say & More. In Closing Game (and this is in no disrespect for I think your a talented emcee) But to boldy confess your gonna smash Jay – Z knowing what you have created thus wasnt even close to sracthing the surface. I say create 400 Bars and Running or basically a continuation that mediocre diss record. Game just make dope records with a purpose and put battling on the shelf or that is where you might find yourself.

i got a feeling this might be wack
D.O.A and Run THis Down Jay were both some weak ass efforts from Hov
but American Gangster was a 4.5 mic album tho
Cheezydodo said this on July 25th, 2009 at 3:12 am
the chase & status d.o.a remix was dope. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEzzVBtlmHE) i expect any other production from them will follow suit.

He said “NAHRIGHT”, not 2dopeboyz
hahahahahaha
This might be a reason why:
“Jay-z was in the UK to finish the Blueprint 3″ no hes recording here and there, like las nght in london… get ur shit together… im only tryin to help lol.

This was a good interview. I am real bum that Mickey Factz is not Roc Nation man that sucks. Mickey is dope. Man i really wanted to hear Andre 3000 on BP3. Nas on Empire State of Mind? Man who cares 2Dope >>> Nah Right all day. The dudes that comment on there have no sense of knowledge. I been down with 2Dope since March of 2008 and have never left. BP3 will be a letdown

I can’t fathom how people can hear two SINGLES off this album and come to the conclusion that it’ll be a let down.
People want things to fail so much these days.
M.I. said this on July 25th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
^but…do you remember the days when radio played good music and that was the Only way to conclude whether an album was worthy or not of purchase?
