This was also supposed to be on BP3 and I’ll rather have this over majority of the songs on this.

This song was two years old when it leaked. It was originally for Tim's Shock Value, but Jay Z didn't finish his verse before the album was turned in, which started the rift between him and Timbaland. Clue leaked it and was screaming "Blueprint 3" on it, which made Jay Z mad because no one was supposed to know he was making Blueprint 3 at the time. The leak kind of got Timbaland and Jay talking again with Timbaland wanting to produce the whole album. Jay insisted which ever producer between him and Kanye could deliver 10 of the craziest records would produce the album.

These were supposed to be on BP3 too, I wanted the BK Anthem to be the sound for the album but I guess he wanted to make it sound modern.

Not his best, not his worst. Probably accurate placement in his own ranking of his albums

Bloated, Uninspired, Boring album that came and went? Sounds like typical Jay Z to me- always has been a volume scorer :unimpressed:

People love to call him the GOAT- well of course he’s the GOAT- he’s made the most music!! You’re bound to hit when you have Kanye West (the real GOAT) in your back pocket.

Anyway i liked on to the next one- Jay Z is brilliant for someone that doesn’t write- but he’s also capped because again, he doesn’t write- compare his body of work to Kendrick or Pac and it’s clear he’s not that good- he can bridge words together and come up with dazzling metaphors in ways most can’t- but in the end he don’t be talking bout nothing

Hes like triple h or Bron to me, can’t hype you up when you just stuck around the longest and had other people propping you up :yeshrug:

Agreed, it gets way too much flack for that 1 Diddy song.

"Sunshine"?

If so, Puff didn't even have anything to do with that record. And I always f*cked with that one too.

The joint Puff was involved in was that "I Know What Girls Like" sh*t. I never bothered to listen to that after the first time. That was bad, but it was on an album full of some of Jay's best sh*t. I just act like it's not on there, lol. Vol.1 was too dope to let that one song drag it down.

Yeah I was talking about "I know what girls like", I've always thought Sunshine was dope.
