The album has good production and Jay lyrics are pretty good. The Timberland beats are sort of wack, but Jay rhymes make the songs a lil better. I wasn't feeling Run this Town but the intro What We Talkin About is deadly and my favorite song. Thank You is my second favorite. It's a mature Jay and I know people on here will say it's wack and how they miss the old Jay, but dude is almost 40 and he don't won't to rap about drugs and shit anymore.

All these new "rappers" could learn a few thins from Jay Zed. Is this his last album though?

Naw he said he coming out with another album that's not gonna be #1 on the charts. He said he wants to make the most experimental album he ever made.

Its a damn shame.... This man is 40 fuckin yrs old and he can still rap circles around these weak ass rappers in the game today. These shitty up and coming rappers could learn a thing or two from Jay. The album is Certified CRACK.

The guy from Degrassi? I laugh everytime I see that guy.:rofl: I didn't even realize he was rapping until my sister told me and then I actually heard him and thought "hmph, another crappy rapper!" Anyway I'll be picking up Jay Z's new album, I have all of his albums.

i knew drake was a cornball and this proves it he needed his blackberry C'mon Son!!! that 50 song i can't hear it because of my damn PS3. i think jay started the beef when he said "i thought i took care of 50 at summer jam" we need a hip hop beef (50 VS Jay) to be continued?

Black Album was great, should have been his last. His "retirement" was just a attention scheme.

Track for track Worst release of his since Kingdom Come.


Kinda annoyed this will get more play than Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, but thats the way things are nowadays....

It's easily his best album since The Black Album. After two disappointing albums he finally shaped up, and it's great to hear. "Empire State of Mind" and "Real as it gets" are the best tracks. But the Timbaland tracks are wack (even though Jay spits lovely on "Off that"), the Swizz Beatz song sucks (he's done so much better tracks these last years, why did they choose this one?) and the album-closing cover of Alphaville's "Forever young" is just awful. I guess Jay-Z really wants to sell this time, he wants big hits. Well that's what he gets - at the expense of integrity. But still, the album is better than the boring "Kingdome Come" and the even more boring "American Gangster".

I've been playing it all weekend. Taking a break from it to watch the NFL now but like what I heard so far. Love the Death of Auto-Tune and its lyrics. Hip hop is hip hop and Jay is right to criticize all the auto-tune singers in rap. (Perhaps that's hypocritical seeing as KANYE produces songs on Blueprint 3)
It's kinda funny because been telling my friends for last few months that Jay is my favorite rapper but after hearing this I would put Nas above him. That's no criticism, he is still one of the greatest of all time. Not sure if I would place Blueprint 3 in the same league as Blueprint 1 or even 2. Will have to give it a lot more listens. :2 cents:
