Blueprint 3 is a CLASSIC

[Griffith]

Do you mean the catalog that includes...

Toni Braxton
G-Unit
Kanye
Bow Wow
Jahiem
Ghost & Meth
Jamie foxx
Fabulous
Twista
Jim Jones
Janet Jackson

........as relatively non-mainstream???

Most the people you're naming weren't in their peak popularity by the time they got to No ID. Ghost and Meth weren't seeing plats at the time. Neither was Toni Braxton, Janet was fading away by that time.. Jahiem was never THAT big. Twista in 2009? Really? Might as well name Beanie Sigel

For the most part, Jigga and Kanye put Dion in the position he is today. After BP3, he started getting waaay more work.

 

[Griffith]

Em made Relapse before he heard BP3

Then he made Recovery

Old man Hov making it cool to be mature

 

[havoc]

The album isn't a classic because it has more miss than hits. Lyrically, it is the worse Jayz's album.

 

[Darts]

It ain't a classic.. but its his third best most entertaining album imo.

 

[USSInsiders]

How can we forget the goat promo track for the goat King Hov album?

you obviuosly dont understand "we made you" its a song about how drugs made him famous

2nd song insane is a flashback song/episode that goes with the story/concept of the ALBUM.. hes explaining child experiences as to why he became a drug addict as an adult..



just because you dont understand somthing doesnt mean you should hate it

What a song is about doesnt make any less disgusting

If any other rapper besides cacinem made that song a single they wouldnt hear the end of it

Unforgettable, unsubmittable, I go by N now
Just one syllable, it's the end cause the game's tired
It's the same vibe, Good Times had right after James died
That's why the gangsta rhymers ain't inspired
Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines
And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times
But I'm a dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind....

[MENTION=2591] I go by N now
Just one syllable

How Nas supposed to be mature in 2006 when he didn't know NAS was one syllable
