Wale Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice album.J. Cole has a really good (short) verse on "A Star Is Born", it's just one of them tracks where Jay talks about artists and introduces him to us the audience.Loving "What We Talking About", "Thank You", "Empire State Of Mind", "Already Home" some of the leaks you can tell have been tweaked.I just know alot of this forum will fall over the track with Jeezy and spazz out.Of course you aren't going to get the old Jay, if you want that go back and buy them albums.I dont really get you beef with jeezy, wats the deal?

Mr Q Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Jay on it leaking & a review. Jay-Z said he might be the most bootlegged artist in history, and now he has given MTV the official rights to showcase his album The Blueprint 3 days before it hits stores in The Leak."I'm excited for people to hear the album," Jay told MTV News on Monday in NYC. "I'm very proud of the work I've done, so enjoy it."The album is as diverse as any project he's put together when it comes to collaborations. Australian musician Luke Steele of pop duo Empire of the Sun appears on the opener, "What We Talkin' About." The cut features the lyrics Jay spit earlier this summer during his Las Vegas show that target the Game and former business partner Dame Dash.The Mr. Hudson-assisted "Young Forever," a pensive track on which Jay puts his career in perspective, closes the album. After threatening to retire for years, the Brooklyn wordsmith sounds like he's about to kick-start another run of yearly output. "Bye-byes aren't for legends/ I'm forever young, my name shall survive," he raps.And in between, The Blueprint 3 ranges from the familiar — "Run This Town" and "D.O.A." — to the more experimental."Hate," produced by and featuring Kanye West, is syrupy slow — in sound and flow — as Jay and his protégé take aim at detractors. "Hoover, Hova/ Both are American gangsters/ You choose who's colder/ Rappers getting nasty in the booth, but I'm grosser/ I can't even stomach myself, ulcer," Jay raps over West's syncopated sounds.On "Empire State of Mind," Jay writes his name alongside Frank Sinatra and Robert De Niro as one of New York's favorite sons. Joined by Alicia Keys, the Roc Nation CEO takes listeners for a ride in the back of the Maybach, detailing his rise from the Marcy Projects to his Soho Penthouse. "I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can/ You know I bleed blue/ But I'm not a crip, though," he raps, before Keys croons, "I'm from Neeeeww Yooooork/ These streets will make you feel brand-new/ Bright lights will inspire you.""Already Home" is that triumphant, soulful magnum opus that hearkens back to its oldest brother's "Heart of the City." Jay makes fun of his critics and rapper detractors alike."Only time they exciting is when they mentioning Shawn," Jigga raps. " ... Don't they know that I'm on?/ Don't they know it's foolish to try and kill me with songs?/ ... I opened the door for them, what else can I do?/ These n---as want me to walk for them."Guest star Kid Cudi's hook is almost equally as absorbing as it is off-key: "They want me to fall, fall from the top," the Kid from Cleveland sings. "They want me to drop/ They want me to stop/ They want me to go, I'm already gone/ The sh-- that I'm on/ I'm already home."Producer Kanye West comes with a track that has his signature Midwest bounce, draped in violins, piano and bass."N---as is mad/ Oh, they call me a camel, but I mastered the drought," Jay comes back later. "What the f---, I'm an animal/ Half man, half mammal/ My sign is Sag/ This is just what I planned to do."Later, on "A Star Is Born" with J. Cole, Jay gives brief snapshots and memories of some of the most tremendous rap stars of the past 15 years."T.I. literally wanted to shoot up the charts," he raps. "What up Jeezy, what it do?/ That reminds me of us back in '92/ Outkast landed, Three Thou was ill/ Like a male version of Lauryn Hill/ Mobb Deep shook it, but Prodigy took it, a little too far/ Can't f--- with Brooklyn."Fans weighed in on the new record on Twitter and Facebook. Jay kept it cool, despite his material leaking 10 days before the official release day. The iconic MC had reason to relax: He has his own indicator to let him know whether reactions to his music are good or bad."My pager is actually ringing right now, so people are probably calling me and telling me they pretty much like it," he explained. "I can tell by the way my pager rings if a song is good or not. It's really going crazy right now."You can hear the entire Blueprint 3 on Tuesday (September 1) on The Leak right here on MTV.com. Hov told us a few weeks ago that his main intention was to keep the album focused on the art of music."The whole thing about this album, how I approached it, is that I wanted to make a new classic to start that all over again — to go back to making classic albums like the ones we grew up listening to," he said.

I thought T-Pain was cool with it, didnt they perform the song on summer jam together? :lol:The albums not bad, not a jigga classic... dont get many of them anymore...but still good for first listen.Im diggin Thank you, Ambitious, Real as It gets, Empire State of Mind, and the Hudson track...although Mr Hudson voice annoys a little...I think Timbo came a bit weak on this album...and the Drake collabo was meh.....

The Curse Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Forever Young reminds me of some 90's tune but i cant put my finger on it. .Thats because its a rework of the 80s hit Forever Young by Alphaville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
