Looking back on it... The Blueprint 3 was kinda slept on

[The 2020 New Member]

that's your opinion but from a beatmaker standpoint this is pretty accurate i think.
Cause BP 3 simply is the best produced album. Lyrically it's American Gangster though.

Word. I was talkin overall but in that regard, it makes sense.

Glad cats gave Thank You the props it deserves. I like the album but I think Jay Kanye are in the same standing as Drake Machine and creativity wise on the low, I think the industry is like that on the low and I started peepin that around that time more heavy so I didn't follow the hype of this album as much, there's no memories there. Great sounding album though. He makes maybach music at this point.

Lmao at multiple people hating on Run this Town and Empire State Of Mind...

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Naw, shyt was garbage, still is, always will be my nikka. Not even worth explaining why... if u dont get it u prob started listening to rap 3-5 years ago.

Run This Town's production sounded cheap as fukk. Kanye came through with the cheap ass 03 MP3 drums. shyt sounds like a Gatorade commercial.

ESOM tho The ONLY SONG WORTH LISTENING TO on that album.

Naw we not jumping for this revisionist history. BP3 was, is, always will be basura. It galvanized Jay as a whiny out of touch dude who has overstayed his welcome and is only looking to profit from rather than contribute to hip hop

His last thoroughly good album was TBA.... 12 years ago my nikka.

Agree with as an album his last good one was TBA. Don't mess with AG like others do aND I think Jays the best to do it...

But it is just comical to me that people are making claims that ESOM and RTT is garbage. (Including u)

AG had bars but the production was off. I still bump Beirut Gangster

ESOM is good money but RTT was just cheesy. Even if u count it tho 2 hot songs over 1 whole abum sounds like basura to me.

I can't agree with The Black Album being Jay Z's last good album. IMO, American Gangster >>>>> The Black Album. AG is Jay Z's last great album. The feel, the flow, the lyrics, and the production makes it a Top 3 Jay album.

 

[live it to the limit]

Out of all of jays catalogue. This album and kingdom come are my least favorite

Production is 4.5/5 stars and Jay lowkey had some good lines on here. Granted, there are wack songs on here and the "Half man half mammal" line but

What You Talkin About: 7/10
Thank You- 9/10
D.O.A- 5/10 (was a good song at the time but didn't age well imo)
Run This Town- Classic song, Kanye killed his verse. 8.5/10
Empire State Of Mind- Song was everywhere and still getting play to this day. 8/10
Real As It Gets- 7/10
On To The Next One- Never felt this song at all.. People got mad af at the "nikkas want my old shyt, buy my old albums" tho 4/10
Off That- Production the only thing I like about this song. Drake hook meh. 5/10
A Star Is Born- Cole verse was fire and liked the concept of the song 7.5/10
Venus Vs. Mars- Nah. 3/10
Already Home- The "half man half mammal" line is still til this day but classic Cudi hook and Hov did his thing outside of that awful line. 8.5/10
Hate- Underrated song. It's catchy for a song that was made for fun 7/10
Reminder- The production :obamasweat: 8/10
So Ambitious- If only Skateboard P still made more songs like these and Alright 7/10
Young Forever- This song is whatever to me. 5/10

Outside of 2 wack songs and a couple average ones, BP3 is underrated imo. It's better than MCHG, BP2 and Kingdom Come.

Venus vs Mars was easily 8/10

I agree. TBA is a classic but you can argue AG is one also and I've always preferred AG over TBA.

Venus vs Mars was easily 8/10

Didn't like the concept of the song

 

[45123]

You can't say the hate wasn't understandable though, a lot of experimental production and instruments and very poppy hooks/songs.

 

[Pop123]

Blueprint 1
Reasonable Doubt

Only Jayz albums I consider 4.5 mics. His catalog is a lot of 3.5 and one or two 4's, keep it a rack, yall over rate that nig crazy because u loved his swag, gay nikkas

 

[-DMP-]

MCHG and WTT shyt on this album heavy. only songs I really liked on that album were Thank You, So ambitious, and Already home.

 

[pointproven214]

black album was jay's last classic album this album was trash imo
