Video: Jay-Z Explains Blueprint 3 Artwork
Hov explains the Blueprint 3 artwork to them 1515 Boyz.
“These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop,” Hov explained. “It’s still about music. It’s not about radio, making gimmicks — it’s still about making music. Those things are piled in the corner. These are the forgotten things about music. It’s still about music. It’s not about radio, it’s not about making gimmicks, it’s about music. The three stripes that everybody is asking about is made from the original [number] three. The first three they made on the wall was someone carving. If you look at [the number] 3, all they did was connect lines. The whole thing about this album, how I approached it, is that I wanted to make a new classic to start that all over again — to go back to making classic albums like the ones we grew up listening to.”
I like the cover.

Ty are you saying Jay should have no features at all? or that he should’ve gotten bums for features. he’s arguably the biggest rapper in the world, so you know #2 wasn’t gonna happen.

why JayZ wont ever get on a JDilla beat? … he the only nigga that havent … he aint got no love for Detroit? … except that cracker Marshall … some well placed Black Milk and Mr. Porter beats could save his floundering career right now …
August 4th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
I like Mr. Hudson.
I’ve heard his music before about a year and a half ago through an associate of mine and thought it was pretty dope.
He was singing over a somewhat twangy echoed guitar riff loop. Very nice.
I’m not 1OO% sure it was him but it really sounded like him.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm

… he should do either no features or good rappers for features, but he doesn’t want that so then sure do no features, and its not just this album he has been doing this nonsense with coldplay and others too his aim ain’t what it used to be, and one more time thats cool he shouldn’t be making street corner music at this point but don’t deny its aimed towards the radio …

August 4th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Its just my opinion, he does whatever he thinks is “trendy” at the time, everything he does is so calculated and controlled, he probably has a whole bunch of advisers and image consultants. I just feel hes become a fake. These features are all for the kids to try and remain what he sees as relevant. Hes led by Kanye too.
And Bono is another man of no integrity joke, feed the world but not out of my pocket , tax exile motherfucker.

… I have no interest in anything having to do with coldplay, and I actually like some of the songs he did with them, beach chair was one of my favorite songs on that album, but its still aimed at a more pop audience …
@ rigz - I’m saying jay is aiming his new music at the pop audience and radio more than focusing on the music, otherwise he would focus on his bars more, thats ok if thats what he wants to do he has earned that right just don’t act like that is not the case

See what you think of this -
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0225/breaking60.html
“Bono has championed the call for increases in aid to impoverished countries, yet in his personal life he is engaged in tax avoidance issues and it is tax avoidance that is undermining the possibility of developing countries fighting their way out of poverty,” she said.

and where were you when he dropped AG with nowhere near the amount of promo that a Jay-Z album would normally get? the fact is, Jay could do a whole album of him humming Tupac songs and the radio would play.

pparently, Jay Z’s “American Gangster” was such a dismal failure that Def Jam was forced to fire everyone involved with the project. Those taking the hit included A&R people and a few of Jay Z’s closest associates. Even an independent record label under the Def Jam umbrella silently got the axe.

>>He used a movie as scapegoat to make an unofficial soundtrack/album about subject matter that he’s most comfy with. And I don’t know a nare ninja that said KC > AG. Call a spade a spade.
so whats your point?
AG > KC in my opinion, but I still think KC was a good album.

Not that I have ay respect for MTV, but if they give those awards to Em’s retarded video over Ye I’ll SMH.
There are other videos better than both, but Em’s shit has been overdone by him for way too long. I liked the album well enough, but his singles are stupid.
At least Ye tried to be creative, whether you like it or not.

some of KC … all legendary
anything JayZ made after that is bonus track material … JayZ need to get his Bernie Williams on … make a jazz album … do some spoken word or some shit … tour with Jill Scott … rap has become a child’s game (unfortunately) …

If the shit sounds good, then it sounds good. I could give a fuck whos on the LP, whether or not the album was made to be a Tall Jew’s workout music…who cares…
If its a good album, its a good album. Only heard 2 tracks & neither were wack, so….

Word and word.

>>but he is saying he isn’t aiming at that audience, that is all I have been saying is if thats what he wants to do thats fine just don’t deny it, my problem is with his words in this quote it wasn’t even about his music thats a whole nother debate I don’t feel like rehashing anymore …
but the tracklist isn’t even real Ty so what happens if the official comes out and none of those guys are on the album?
.. then I will take it back, but you and I both know the only one that might not happen is Drake cause who knows where that dudes career will be in a month ..

Ty don’t ever quote that hating ass, crusty lipped bitch sandra rose in an argument with me.
ain’t nobody at Def Jam get fired over AG. the shit went platinum during a time when hardly anybody was going platinum. that right there should tell you that article is nonsense.
all the people who I knew at DJ during the AG period are still there. the only people that left are the people Jay took with him, who in turn were people Jay brought in in the first place.

Eskay
my point is that everybody is cosigning his “rappin about being in the projects selling drugs” line, whe we all know that’s what we’d rather hear from him since his other non drug raps just aren’t as interesting or great overall
August 4th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
grow the fuck up
^^
This kinda shit has been goin on since I been on Nah and i’m sure way b4 I got here, why is it when niggas talk about ya big bro u gotta step in wit the excuses? That’s like the lil kid on the block who gets teased bout his older brother bein on drugs, but he in some crazy denial that its true..

You dudes are late b.
Jay been “Pop” since 1998.
Its just “Pop” in 1998 was suttin different to what it is now…catch up.
If the shit sounds good, then it sounds good. I could give a fuck whos on the LP, whether or not the album was made to be a Tall Jew’s workout music…who cares…
If its a good album, its a good album. Only heard 2 tracks & neither were wack, so….

ALL THIS
I think that he is still taking a chance with this shit. It probably jus sounds like what he wants to hear. Chances are that a lot of people will think of it as contrived & DL anyway. He’s taking a chance by (allegedly cuz the official list aint out yet) alienating his original block huggin fans even further.
He’s always made pop-esque rap though. Don’t act like Hard Knock Life or Aint No Nigga weren’t Pop records

Cosign RJ on Hove just needs to do something completely diff. If he really wanna do a “grown” album, call in Dave Koz, Kem, Anita, Jamie Cullum, and the Marsalis (sp) brothers and really get it poppin. Hard music over jazzy music.

I liked KC. I could relate to it’s vibe.
I’m thinking people who require a “Bang Bang Shoot ‘Em Up” type of theme or maybe don’t realize that people grow and personalities evolve are not they type that an album like KC would resonate with.
Or maybe they just did not like it. I don’t know.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
how is it that I’m the emotional one cuz I tell ya’ll to grow up?
but ya’ll niggas who are worried about what a mulitmillionaire is wearing and who he’s hanging out with and what he puts on his album cover, aren’t emotional?
if you think Jay fell off, that’s one thing, but I gotta laugh at ya’ll niggas attacking that man’s integrity. ya’ll can’t seriously think Jay doesn’t care about the music. the nigga never has to sell another record in his life, so you gotta know that the music he’s making now is the music he wants to make, not music that’s gonna get radio play. like i said, it’s gonna get radio play regardless.
Jay and eskay grew up, ya’ll didn’t, it’s pretty simple to grasp.
