The Inevitable New Jay-Z Album: Blueprint 3

i've noticed it lurking in the charts and have been avoiding too - mr hudson sounds like an actual tramp

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?

DOA duh

would love to hear that his singer is out of tune bcuz jay specifically refused to autotune in a bout of self flagellating rockism

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!

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

and fuck that autotune cuz we OOOooooooon

every time i hear this part i think wow, whiney considers this a quotable 'hot line'

lol

i pretty much dig "on to the next one" tho

the only hot line in "on to the next one" -- "niggas want my old shit, buy my old albums" -- is undercut by the fact that it's spit on a song from the blueprint 3

i would rapidshare them if i hadnt already bought them

kids want my old shit, .rar my old albums

i give up. I love jay-z and even found a lot to like about blueprint 2 even though it has a lot of crap on it. but i flat out just don't like blueprint 3. lyrically it's...bad. even the production pales in comparison to the original, but I have not been able to finish this album since the first 3 listens.

yeah...honestly this album makes Kingdom Come sound good

i even tried listening again on Friday after taking several months off to see if maybe itw as a "just wasn't in the mood for it at the time" but nope. the flow sucks, the lyrics suck. and yet it got fairly good reviews, which surprised me.

Even "Run This Town" is a bit neutered - kinda pop rap like T.I. (whom I like btw), but it would have been a lesser song on The Blueprint.

ohw ell, guess I'll stick with listening to Freeway and Tech N9ne...

big hat club

jay still plays young forever at his live shows, so embarrassing

I dunno if it's a staple of every tour, but last summer w/ Justin they closed with it as a dedication to Trayvon which was very oh fuck you're trying to make me feel bad about hating this song now

haha i made a big hat club joke about pharell on the grammys and some dude was the only one who said anything about it :)

the other day i was listening to Shaq songs on YouTube and a one with an old school Jay guest spot came up and sometimes it's shocking now to hear old Jay, he was SO GOOD, like he fell off so incredibly hard

not gonna deny dude got worse and the fact that RD/BP/Black Album are cited like they're his only dope albums '96-'03 is irritating but I always dug this the most out of post-retirement Jay. then again I haven't listened to it in forever

the other day i was listening to Shaq songs on YouTube

Yo Shaq! Where ya at?
I'M OVAH HERE

I take a little while...Bought this a year ago used, got around to playing most of it in the car a month ago, finished yesterday. Didn't get much of anything out of it, except for "Already Home," which I played a few time today. Pretty music, and when you're married to Marilyn Monroe and hang around the president, "They want me to go/I'm already gone" would ideally be the last line you ever write. But I guess he kept going.

Big Hat Club!!!!!
