Hope the Kid Cudi x Drake features get cut. No just blaze is not a good look. Kanye has fallen off so hard from the production side. Don’t think is gonna be to great of a LP. Won;t be his worst album, will prolly be right there ahead of kingdome come.

LOL @ Timbaland. He was only a LITTLE off when he said he was producing the entire album. One track.
But yeah, I wish Jockin’ Jay-Z was on it. I don’t care that Swagga Like Us and the remix aren’t, that beat got so annoying.
Mike said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 10:34 am
@ blaka
this mother fucker is 42 and a multi millionaire. u want him to rap about shooting niggas and selling crack! i hate people who feel hip hop HAS to be gangster rap about murder and drugs. who gives a fuck if he got mr hudson on a track. dudes need to keep their mind open to all influences in the world of music.

How many songs have Jay-Z and Nas done 2gether? If I’m not mistaken it’s 3, 4 if u include the song they did on Luda last album. Anyway I didn’t like “Success” off of American Gangster but “Black Republicans” and “I Do it for Hip-Hop” were straight. I hope they don’t fuck this one up. I’m sure it’s gonna sample NY State of Mind….Kanye & No I.D. better not fuck the beat up either cuz that beat go too hard to be tweaked and made worse.

I’m a little scared for the cudi and hudson features even though i think they will probably just be hooks and i fucks with cudi. it just isn’t hova’s style to have these light voiced men on his tracks. I think it’s a little hypocritical to make a song like d.o.a shitting on trends in hiphop and stuff like that and then to have these features which pretty much represent the present trend/state of hiphop

Commercially distateful I give the cover and tacklist a 1 out of 5 stars and am guessing a 1 out of 5 mics.
Jay again follows, copys, and mocks whats in. With Mr. Hudson, Kanye & Kid Kudi as line ups it seems Jay is preparing a
808′s & Heartbreaks Pt. 2
To be quite honest I would have preferred a Blueprint album with Rocafella artist, Premier production, Just Blaze, and other producers.
Disappointing to say the least.
I hate to say it but
Kanye West is the new Jay and in some way Jay is trying hard, veerrry hard to be Kanye
I think its safe to say
Jay-Z career = 90% copying what everone else does
At this point I cant imagine purchasing a Jay album the guy has no more credibility, has all the money he needs, and creatively has completely fell of the map.

Fuck the racism going down. With that said, as a white man, I do not want Mr. Hudson on here. It has nothing to do with color, it has to do with what will sound right. I’ll happily be wrong if it turns out to be an amazing combo, but I’m not seeing that.

well i’m sorry u don’t like my music…nonetheless… when you look up to an artist for so long and realize that after a certain point all the give a fuck about is the money and are basically feeding the fans bullshit… its kind of hard to respect them after that… I used to luv Common’s music until he decided to be the biggest corporate whore in hip-hop supporting these fucked up billion dollar corporations what don’t give a damn about the legimate workforce or the labor they employ… fact of the matter is Jay is full of shit and tho i have always respected his mic skills… he represents everything artist like Tupac, Krs-one, and Immortal Technique stood and still stand against… i’ll download it to see what shit he’s givin the hip-hop world but after a single listen i doubt i’ll ever jam it after that…
besides keepin your friends close and enemies closer is rule #1 in this game…

@ gyft
The dude bought the right’s to this album and to leave def jam for $5,000,000 and you think its about the money?! Obviously the man is in another state of mind from his Reasonable doubt or Blueprint 1 days. If anyone cares about the money, its your struggling artist ass who would rather bootleg the album than give go out and cop it.
And what’s up with people wanting this to be the second coming of the original Blueprint. It’s like going to to see a movie sequel expecting to see the same plot all over again. Its called the blueprint for a reason… the dude sets trends. Period. He made all of you jump on the sped up soul steeze, he made everyone where button up dress shirts, and then he made everyone think twice about auto-tuning.

Jay and Kanye are both elitists…supporting free masonry and everything it stands for is detrimental to hip-hop culture and completely counterproductive for what the music stands for…him and beyonce both will sponsor damn near anything for a dollar and if youre gonna do that and turn around and try to represent yourself as an artist for the people your a fuckin hypocrite… listen to immortal technique and brother ali… they’ll lay the “blueprint” out for you literally…

There is no excuse for the lack of Neptunes production. Could it b/c Pharrell and them have ben working with Chris Breezy? Jay really is a “bitter ass nigga” as Jayceon calls him.

Kid Cudi, Drake, and Nas. Just dissapointed

But Looking forward to the Album.

2.YEP THE COVER SHOULD HAVE 3 BLUE STRIKES NOT RED ONES
3. IM NOT IN HIGH HOPES ABOUT THE ALBUM..NOT SURE WHAT HE HAS LEFT TO SAY. BUT INTRIGUED ABOUT THE BEATS. BUT..I SAY BUT..I HOPE THE ALBUM WILL BE DOPE AND ANOTHER REASONABLE DOUBT/BLUEPRINT

boss said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
im not judging quite yet. hopefully the tracks are hot and jay has a hotter flow than some of the songs he’s released recently
boss said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 12:50 pm
ARE YOU NIGGAS STUPID!!!!
WHY ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED TO SEE KANYE ON MOST OF THE PRODUCTION???
JAY-Z SAID THAT SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE WANTED DA ALBUM TO BE MAINLY PRODUCED BY KANYE.
He stated several times that he wanted to take it back to how he did the 1st Blueprint album, with the soulful vibe he had on it!
It’s been noted and stated for several months since last year when he dropped “Jockin Jay-Z” and “History” that he was gonna just used Kanye fot the album. He then budged a bit and said he might use a few other people but only in the taste of the sound him and Kanye are building with No I.D. who is also helping production on the Blueprint 3!!
Stop complaining and do ya homeworks niggas! What da fuck! Pat ya wet pussies dry and move on, stop bitching!
Real said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 12:50 pm

sterlz said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:08 pm
No i.d said we were doing blueprint 3 when we did heartless…this album is like 808 but more hip-hop and it gonna be a full-fledged classic. 90% of hip-hip is something someone else did. Jay-z never took this long on a album so I’m going with blueprint 3 as a classic. This tracklist is not a 100% because he is not done recording for the album. So stop cry about who is on the album and who is not.
oatz said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:12 pm
is this really a suprise though. like “Real” said. jay and kanye have mention that the was going to produce the whole thing. maybe have a different one here or there if it fit the sound and i guess the beat timbo did fit that sound. im not gonna complain until i hear what they did. maybe just blaze,neptunes,bink,ect. just didnt fit the vibe for this one. whats the one thing a lot of fans ask for. cohesiveness. everybody wanna complain bout havin 15 producers on the album. this only have 3 and yall still lose it…i just hope the album is good. thats it

TE said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I think it might be too poppy for most heads, but I’ll probably enjoy it.
Also, it looks like Jay is using Kanye to make him relevant again. All the kanye production and the Mr. Hudson features. Whatever tho

Jada didnt have tons of Kanye produced shit did he? didnt think so.
yaowa said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Keep the racism off the boards, Jay is obviously taking the blueprint in a different direction with some of the features, but you can’t judge the quality on the basis of a cover and a tracklist. Too many people who listen to hip-hop are too nostalgic what you want him to make a carbon copy of the first blueprint. Plus you should take account of his age you seriously want to listen to a grown man talking about drugs and the hood lifestyle, Raekwon is an exception. Rant over and fuck racism, 1!

chuck said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
@yaowa
Ok so what! So a Kanye filled album would make Jada bigger or more or something. He’ll transform into some kind of super rapper overnight because of Kanye? lol yeh right!
I would agree if Jada was knew to the game but he’s 3 albums in, 2 Lox albums in, 2 Ruff Ryders compilation albums in, several features in, and 1 D-Block compilation album in!
He’s too much experience to know what he should sound like to pop!
Biz said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 1:54 pm

Shit has fake written ALL over it. Most of the songs were confirmed but the tracklist itself is fake. Why the fuck would someone leave out Swagga Like Us 2??? Shit don’t make sense.

Too many features already, but I gotta hear the album, can’t wait! Hope he shows all ya’ll how spittin is supposed to be.

only real dissapointment is no justblaze, well that and kid cudi on there doesnt seem like they will match well. dont care if dre, the neptunes or primo had a beat on there, cant see him on primo tracks any more, neptunes are way to hit or miss and with him its usualy some gay shit like change clothes and dre the 2 dont have a good chemistry together, and after finding out that the dre tracks from kingdomcome wernt even mastered why bother anyway?

Luis said this on August 3rd, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I wonder which song is the one with the beat Kanye claimed was one of the “best hip hop beats ever made”. Cuz I know I read somewhere like 2 months ago that he said that. Glad Kanye’s producing most of it tho, cohesiveness was what was really missing from Blueprint 2

- …but its still pretty gd…so wat if j.cole isnt on it its jays album, u want jcole wait for his album, i think jay noes wats hes doing by now in regards to crafting an album that MOST people would like, and also generate sales.
- best lookn track is nas one, hopefully its as gd as black republican that was craaaazy.
- also wanted an eminem feature, who wudnt, but i guess itl happen on relapse two ( and jays didnt get killd on renegade ,imo it was a tie, but if u wanna say eminem was better , fine, just dont say he killed him, cuz the stuff jay said was amazing, regardless, and cudnt have been “killed” even if eminem was better.

That’s a dope cover (besides the fact there’s no blue what-so-ever on a BLUEPRINT album lol). The tracklist looks promising (No I.D. and Kanye on every track is a real upside). As for the features, I’m glad he got Nas, I’m glad he didn’t go the Busta Rhymes or Jadakiss route and get a bunch of (/waay too many) garbage trendy ass rappers. Both ‘D.O.A’ and ‘Run this Town’ are SICK, so…yeah…I’m pretty damn excited.
BUT what happened to Swagga Like us 2 w/ Nas and Andre 3000? kinda disappointed.

as for the features: i’m not too excited about the two mr. hudson songs, drake and rhianna, but they probably only do choruses and it won’t be that bad. on the other hand: no memphis bleek, no beanie sigel, etc. is definitely good news. i like nas and kid cudi, but their features don’t always keep promise.
i’d definitely would have liked a new just blaze joint. but kanyes proven that he can create great albums.

Sir said this on August 4th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Y’all niggas ain’t listen to Fab shit. I could tell cuz you just looked at the tracklisting and judged the title as slow jams!
For ex. 14. “Lullaby”, 15. “Stay” feat. Marsha Ambrosius, 16. “I Miss My Love”
I don’t know what a few of you niggas talkin bout with Fab album!!! I listened to that shit twice and that shit is one of the hardest albums I heard this yr! And the 1st 4 tracks are not auto-tune! My Time is auto-tune out of the 1st 4!
I’mma Dot It is not auto-tune, Kobe voice was in speaker aka walkie-talkie and the song when Fab was using melodies was him following the sample that was singing!
I agree that he had like 5 r&b club joints but lets be real those shits were fucking hot as hell. To be real one of the so called “Sloe songs” was a life song on some street shit, family shit etc. Not to mention if you add up all the uptempo tracks or street tracks it actually evens out and if you count the bonus tracks he has more street songs on the album!!!
Y’all niggas need to stop listening to niggas and make your own opinion like I did!! Stop following niggas who hating with no cause!!!! I thought it was gonna be ok at best the album is good! Y’all niggas need to stop talking shit before you even hear something (All artists)!!! How you have an opinion without listening
I swear some of you people call ya self hip-hop fans but yet everything you hear (key word hear and not listen) you shit on it! Y’all the same niggas that expect people to like the same shit you listen to! Contradicting ass niggas!!!!!
13 street songs (including the 3 bonus songs):
1. “The Way (Intro)”
2. “My Time”
3. “Imma Do It”
4. “Feel Like I’m Back”
8. “Salute”
9. “There He Go”
13. “Pachanga”
14. “Lullaby”
15. “Stay”
16. “I Miss My Love”
6 Slow joints:
7.”Money Goes, Honey Stay” feat. Jay-Z [If you consider it a slow]
5. “Everything, Everyday, Everywhere” feat. Keri Hilson
6. “Throw It in the Bag” feat. The-Dream
10. The Fabolous Life” feat. Ryan Leslie
11. “Makin’ Love” feat. Ne-Yo
12. “Last Time” feat. Trey Songz

This comment section really brings out those who appreciate music, those who appreciate hip hop, and those who just listen to the fads.
The cover is beautiful and I hope it translates to the SOUND of the album.

damn. Jay-Z was supposed to retire like 3 albums (and 500 mixtapes) ago…lol. Its all good. Im feeling this artwork it represents the new breed of music he’s bringing but still familiar. Still Jay.

Jay’s black album……………… The game’s red album
the game has said in the past that he raps because of b.i.g, 2pac,easy,nas and jay-z. He is just mad that jay-z will not made a song with him. Blueprint 3 is a classic.

People find a way to not like a talented artist like Drake but the people they like in return (newcomers in particular like Drake) are all laughable because in most cases Drake makes better music then them.
It’s funny how people are such big supporters of underground artists and when they make it or get that break the 1st 2 things said is “his changing/selling out/going commercial” or “his overatted”
Do your self a favor when you dislike someone make sure and have an actual reason why instead of judging by popularity or 1 or 2 songs! LISTEN and not HEAR please!

the reason why jay didnt do a track with andre 3000 is because andre would murk his ass on it by just breathing in the studio.
all in all…the album looks promising. to the people saying its classic…hahaha wooow. but yeah it looks legit…i like that he sticking to primarily one producer…thats always the best way to go. i am a little nervous about the mr. hudson appearances though. i like hudson and some of his stuff…but i dont think him and jay go well together. i hope jay gets some soulful samples from ye and stays away from the pop stuff…b/c jay can’t pull that off

Yall are absolutely nutty if you want Jockin Jay Z, Swagger like Us, Brooklyn go Hard, or ‘Aint I’ on this album.
Those are decnt songs, but not for an album, not 4 real jay fans, or shall i say folk that ‘like to listen like that’. That aint the Jay Z i want. Those r play around songs, no thanks.
Those songs are proof that Kanye has fallen wayyyy off beatwise. Compare those beats to ‘Guess Who’s Back’, Cant be Life, etc.
Those bubble gum, lazy sample songs. Sampling MIA, Lady Gaga, and Rev Run is not hot.

Andre 3000 has said that Jay-z is the best rapper in the game. Give me Andre 3000′s top 5 verse and i will give u 20 of jay-z that r betta. Andre murking Jay-z on a track is like Lil Wayne murking rakim. Haha

Andre 3000 is waaayyyy over rated!!! All the great mc’s that went and you mean to tell me Andre 3000 enters your mind!
Andre 3000 after ATLiens aka “before the name change from Dre to Andre 300″ aka “before Erika Badu fuckery” aka before Aquemini he was on his way. He was still good but not as potent! Due is a soulful mc that never advanced from that point just a bunch a potential! It’s also obvious he’s not into rap! Dude rather sing or act or just dress weird who knows.
Stop the overrating this nigga stop it Jesus! Most of y’all niggas can’t even remember 5 verses from him off top without doing an online search or pressing play to an album!
Keep in mind I was a huge Andre fan from SouthernPlayaListic days and after ATLiens so I could go on for days on good rhymes from him like Babylon, Jazze Bell, Elevators, SouthernPlayaListic Caddalac Music!

After actually hearing the album, maybe he should have added all those tracks to a deluxe itunes version or something. I want to hear those lfetovers!
