yeah i figure most reviews of this will be unreadable. if i'm going to listen to this album in full at some point, it'll have to be a pure, personal experience between me, the music, and the bloated corpse of my youthful jay-z standom.

such a weird feeling when he's rattling off those years...you're like "hm, he's really gonna name all them isn't he?"

"Hater" sounds more like a Kanye song f/ Jay-Z than vice versa

it's sooo bad...it's like they had a dare to see who could be more annoying with their lame-ass word-stretching and vocal inflections

^^ srs question, what song do you think Kanye was referring to when he said he did "probably one of the best hip-hop beats of all time" for this album -- i swear to god out of the 8 beats he did on BP3 "Run This Town" might actually be the closest thing to a realistic candidate
― guccislamic deejihad (some dude), Monday, 28 September 2009 03:40 (fourteen years ago) link
i bet its "hate"

still havent listened to this album so i checked that song on youtube -- hilarious!!! its so awful
― deej, Monday, 28 September 2009 03:44 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think even he's that insane (xpost)
― guccislamic deejihad (some dude), Monday, 28 September 2009 03:46 (fourteen years ago) link
deej i lasted 3 weeks -- you can last longer i bet -- in fact really i advocate never hearing it
after 'american gangster' i've pretty much swore off from ever listening to another jay-z album in full
― truth bomber ginsburg (J0rdan S.), Monday, 28 September 2009 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link
what i hate about American Gangster is that it's always just barely interesting enough that I keep it on but never really enjoy it; at least Blueprint 3 is real easy to turn off, so it's less of a waste of time

― I WILL NOT GO HAM!!! (The Reverend), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:11 (fourteen years ago) link
i think that's the UK single and "On To The Next One" is the US single? either way, shameful enough for him to even make that song, let alone shoot a video.
― forkslovecraftcthulhu (some dude), Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
"on to the next one" would actually be a good choice, best rap song on the album imo
― k3vin k., Thursday, 24 December 2009 04:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i like the one that's basically a jeezy song that jay jumped on better but yeah

i wonder sometimes if there is a smooth jazz scene. like, do dudes get together and groove on grover washington records and talk about starting bands? do they argue about whether chris botti is really smooth or not? what's the pitchfork of smooth jazz?

I don't like that "Empire State of Mind" Pazz and Jop Single of the Year song.

Having to review "Young Forever" has reminded me that I haven't totally transcended the feeling of absolute hatred for certain pieces of music.
― Tim F, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link
also who the fuck is that "mr hudson" dude?
― El GarBage (M@tt He1ges0n), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:05 (fourteen years ago) link
It just appalls me that any piece of music from someone who was ever once good could be this gratuitously bad. Why didn't they even bother to autotune (in the pre-Cher sense) the chorus?
― Tim F, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:08 (fourteen years ago) link
if christ martin is david lee roth than mr hudson is kanye's personal sammy hagar

i haven't heard "young forever" and don't plan on it
I had avoided until now and was happier for it.
― Tim F, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i've noticed it lurking in the charts and have been avoiding too - mr hudson sounds like an actual tramp

would love to hear that his singer is out of tune bcuz jay specifically refused to autotune in a bout of self flagellating rockism
― average gangsta rap from average gangstas (deej), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 01:12 (fourteen years ago) link
no we will NOT autotune i don't care what he sounds like

"young forever" is awful but there's at LEAST five worse songs on the album iirc!
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 02:17 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah...i'm already starting to get pretty sick of "Onto The Next One," i guess anything that feels like a breath of fresh air in the context of Blueprint 3 would be a fart anywhere else
