was revisiting this album yesterday
only thing about this album is some of the songs just sound jumbled together
like the album just lacks a certain flow
it sounds like a bunch of random songs jay recorded that were put together as an album
however, there were a few gems on this album

not sure, but it wouldn't be in my top 5 of favorite jay-z albums

my top 5 favorite jay-z albums in no order: vol.1, reasonable doubt, the blueprint, the black album and american gangster


yeah based on his catalog it only jumps a couple spots..

i actually love that song, but it also contains so much comedy that the coli has made fun of over the years
from the austin power line to the non existent flutes that jay is summoning at the beginning
:skip:

yeah, i like it too but i agree, it's jay-z using the austin powers accent and then the non existent flutes :russ:

Intro was embarrassing, saying "said" over and over like a rhyme was cringe.
Answer to Nas was garbage a day a plea of, "Please like me!"
The posse cut sampling Earth, Wind and Fire was so trash I can't believe it made past approval.

But "Some People Hate" was dope and should have been his official reply to Nas.

It was. I heard 2.1 before Blueprint 2.

That second disc on blueprint 2 had some gems.


Anyways...
Blueprint 2 was a flow showcase. He was showing the difference in flows.
