By tvtbt Among the songs used to promote The Blueprint 3 was “Empire State of Mind.” Like many songs before from New York artists, it paid homage to the Big Apple. The song had a nice melody and a 1950s’ feel to it. The hook by Alicia Keys made the song perfect. Jay’s slow flow takes you right to each place.

By LowKey It was only a matter of time Jayceon Taylor would be riding for Team Jay-Z, AGAIN! It happens about every 2 months. Jayceon Taylor will find a reason be “disrepectful” to Shawn Carter and when the God MC doesn’t respond, his tone is somewhat remorseful and apologetic. THOUGHTS????

By Miss Info Game: Oh yeah, I already did that Jay-Z thing. 50’s just doing what I’m doing….

By justincharity The Blueprint 3 is a threat/promise: Jay-Z will keep making albums whether you like them or not. If you miss his old shit, “buy [his] old album” – that’s unbridled expression for you, but Shawn Carter is still a b-boy. He’s still Hovi, baby. Thank God.

During the 40-minute interview, Sigel also discussed his relationship with other former members of the Roc: He and Kanye do not speak; he hasn't talked to Dame Dash in a while but is willing to forgive and forget. "Whatever tainted our relationship, I could look past that and I could be cool...

By droopyroof If we are to take The Blueprint III as the third part of a trilogy, then a reviewer is inevitably enticed to rank it on a hierarchical scale. It’s difficult to do, but let’s see where it takes me. TB3 isn’t as big as The Blueprint III, nor is it as enjoyable a listen. TB2 is an album I personally lov...

By Dino-Ray Jay-Z’s 11th album, The Blueprint III, which dropped September 8, was the most anticipated rap album of the year. In this album, Jay-Z does what he does best: talk highly about himself as well as what others are doing wrong. Although he’s not saying anything new, the new way in which he says ev...

By kidgidi Jay-Z — or “Jay,” as his keepers called him — was picking at his sandwich. Cool as ever, dressed in a heavyweight hoodie and a Yankees cap, one had to wonder if he’d ever actually be booting up DJ Hero to battle Beyoncé (not a featured artist, by the way). “I was really, really heavy into video gam...

By locuststreet At the start of 2009, I honestly felt that it could be the year where hip-hop stole the limelight from other music scenes. Jay-Z’s latest studio album was heavily promoted, rumors ran around Dr. Dre dropping a new album, and Kanye West was potentially going to release a proper rap album durin...

By Emily J Ramey Jay-Z My explanation for the outrageous records sales Jay-Z has enjoyed from The Blueprint 3, other than his established superiority of all things hip-hop and long-time loyal following, is that the master MC is also an expert collaborator.  The best tracks on the album are those he’s rec...

By mklo88 After two post-retirement releases, Kingdom Come and American Gangster, Jay-Z announced the third installment to his Blueprint Saga. The first, The Blueprint, was deemed an instant classic with the hit “Izzo (H.O.V.A.).” The second was deemed a critic and commercial failure. One cannot won...

By mbenjic The sad truth about the Blueprint III, which I’ll admit I haven’t heard yet, is that it probably won’t – almost can’t -  live up to it’s pedigree. The happy fact of the Blueprint III is that I will never care as long as all the singles are this brilliant. Here, Jay declares himself “the New Sina...

By TC The power of influence is a lethal weapon. Relevancy, one of its key components, has the parallel advantage to cause irrelevancy strangely enough. This sparkling piece of philosophy was exercised in full some three odd months ago when Jay-Z declared Auto-Tune to be dead as a lead-off for h...

By Lorin I’m not sure why Jay-Z insisted on having a Blueprint trilogy. Sure the first one is a classic, but he already did this three album cycle shit back in the 90’s. And it’s not like The Blueprint 2 was screaming for a finale. I like that album fine, but the criticisms of a bloated nature are not at all o...

Method Man He talks a lot. Method Man is a very interesting character. He's a beast in bed, he likes to spank and tell you to lay down, do this, do that. He's got a nice size. He's the real one. Very controlling. He likes to hit it from the back while he pulls your hair.

By Rizoh A lot of people criticize Jay-Z for not addressing socio-conscious topics like, say, Nas or Talib. Funny thing is, he does…on his own terms.
