Blueprint III

[maix27]

Probably going to get shot down for this...

I like it. First 5 songs are very good.

Still never going to touch the Blueprint but a lot better than Jay-Zs recent stuff.

What do people think?

[Podie]

I think he's 40 and he should grow up.

What's that got to do with it? I take it you have a similar attitude to any artist over 40?

There's got to be a whole lot of music you're missing out there!

Bad album with no substance. Jay-Z's rap flow doesn't match the beats, and he sounds terrible rapping with a British accent. It's a pretend game for him. This album is for hardcore Jay fans that think he can do no wrong. To everyone else this one is average at best. It might be time to call it quits Hova...

Utter Utter st, awful.

Run this town, and young forever are the only things noteable.

It's a lazy album. In fact, he's got fat and lazy. He's basically trying to sell more albums on the basis of the original blueprint album, which was well received.

He's got it too easy now, lost his edge and whilst middle age rockers can carry it off with some dignity, this album is so poor it's like watching your Dad do an impression of a rapper whilst saying "you kids like hippity hop"

It's bin fodder.

I'd have to agree on his last couple of albums, definetly. I haven't bought one since the Black Album...

However, there are a few tunes on BPIII where he really does have:

a) good beats
b) a good flow
c) something interesting to say

He's not hardcore any more, he's not got any beef, so why make an album about it?

Luckily he hasn't and i think it's good, first 5 tracks stand out for me. Final track with Mr Hudson i'm not sure about (I'm a huge Mr Hudson fan).

Listen to the original of that song, its awesome, its from Napoleon Dynamite too. The Black album was the last good one, and I have all 9 of them.
