Pop records or not (and hip hop stations played those songs more than any pop stations), they're still more memorable songs. Run This Town gets played during basketball games and used for promos.
Looking back on it... The Blueprint 3 was kinda slept on

Never understand the hate this got. Amazing production throughout. Some prophetic lines. Some really good raps. Very underrated intro whilst also bringing through a young Cole, a young Cudi and a young Mr Hudson.

the beat is fine but the concept and versesIt's not that good
I might be the only one that fukks with Venus verses Mars though
Maybe it's cuz I was rolling when I heard it but it bangs imo
Shorty played the piano, me I played with white keys
Shorty from the South, oh I think she like me
Shorty like Pac, me, Big Poppa
She screaming hit 'em up,I'm screaming who shot ya?
I'm on that red wine, shorty like white
Same shyt, different toilet, we both getting nice
Me I'm from the Apple,which means I'm a Mac
She's a PC,she lives in my lap
It also probably plays on The Shopping Network.
Blatant pop is rarely a hip hop fan's cup of tea.

TF does the shopping network have to do with BP3 and Run This Town

Yea I mos def don't take as a masterpiece but it goes
And yea he has a lot of shytty lyrics but the flow is on point and the best is hard
Like I said the first time I hear it I was gone and it sounded dope and it was the first time me and my girl rolled as smashed for hours
Some songs just have that at the moment shyt where they're just dope forever even if they're not good
Like 60-70% of the album is like 2-3/5, 3.5+ joints are Thank You, What we talkin bout, So Ambitious and DOA.
One could argue that ESOM is a 5/5 pop joint too.
2 / 4 are average at best. (BP3 & MCHG)

I actually think it's Jay's best work since he came out of "retirement".
It think it's the best produced album since he came back.

it's a great song but i wasn't really feelin Jay's flow on that.
Flow sounded kinda bubble-gummy while it's a beautiful song as a whole. I like it even better than Alicia's solo version.
What does it matter if it's a solo album, half these dudes have features on all their songs. Almost as if OB4CL isn't a Raekwon album or not giving props to Andre 3k and Big Boi individually for their 5 classics.
He was the highlight of the album and he was spitting and flowing unlike on MCHG and BP3.
