Ah, yes. None of that Kingdome Done stuff. None of that American Gangster-ness. This is the Hov that takes me back to BP1.
Shout out to Steve and Young Sid-id-dav...
-------> Hov- "Jockin Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh)"
Ha... all you Southern folks let the beginning of the song get you hyped. PSYCHE!
So I guess Kanye working on the entire album is basically official. But real talk, with Kanye-stamped tracks like The Blueprint's "Takeover," "Heart of the City," "IZZO," ... and oh yeah, that "Girls, Girls, Girls" remix (I know I'm missing one more), BP3 can't-- and probably won't-- go wrong. I think I'm actually kind of anticipating this album. And that hasn't happened in a while-- generally speaking. And with Hov, this hasn't happened since The Black Album.
The song has only been out for a few, and already people are saying that this proves Hov still has his swag. Only time will tell. We'll have to wait for the song to further spread throughout the 'net and then hit the radio waves to really see what people think. But I think it's a green light.
DAMN! Did it take for Hov to step down from his presidential position at Deaf Jam for him to get back on his sh*t? Evidently. But don't get it twisted, American Gangster was made for the ears to listen hard, not for a fashion show, and I appreciate that. But we need some exciting music-- and to me that AG stuff didn't give me that "I can listen to his album over and over" kind of feeling. But that's in the past. As long as Hov listens to Little brother, he should be aight.
And on an off-topic side note: Is anyone getting tired and irritated of George Bush sitting in at the Olympic games? WTF?! A n*gga can't even enjoy the games in PEACE, for crying out loud. At first I could just push him to the back of my mind and keep it moving, but as of Saturday I've developed-- and am still developing-- a SERIOUS problem with this clown. Who the f*ck wants to keep seeing his blasted face on the TV screen? And his ugly little family? He's becoming even more of a nuisance now more than ever.
HH4PREZ, you wanna speak on this one?

new york needs some new rappers. I love jay z but its the same thing everytime he comes out. A whole lot of hype and he'll make a mediocre album. I won't hype myself up until he comes with some real heat. This isn't impressive by the standards of BP1 and 2. He's talking about the same thing as on kingdom come. How he is better then everybody. I wanna hear a story, or a hard club banger. something different. stop talking about how nice ur are. u sounding like lil whoopie.
Bush is awesome and hilarious, leave the poor guy alone.
JAY-z TRIED THAT and y'all lil niggas didn't want to listen. he diserves all the hype because he takes the game to another level. he isnt better than everybody he's just one of the better emcee's.
Blueprint 3-- kanye weSt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blue print 1 was one of the best albums ever released in some categories it's considered a classic !!! blueprint 2 was out of his hands he didnt want to do a double album thats why blueprint 2.1 came out .
New York doesnt need new rappers the hip hop game needs to start listening to the new rappers out there instead of the usual suspects.
Make it an instrumental album and I'll purchase
If it don't sound good then no we aint gonna listen. get some production. hint hint like jay is doing.I agree the blueprint 1 and 2 are classics out of this world. but his last two albums were hyped out of this world too but im a realest and i aint co signing this album until I actually hear the entire album. As far as we need to start listening to new rappers... the south has put on a whole gang of new mc's. some good ands some bad but thats to be expected no matter what. I've yet to hear any new NYC artists other then maino(i like) and mims wack ass. Other then that you just got niggas making underground stuff but that aint enough. put together an album then you will get my respect.
