Hip-Hop is dead ?

Not even son. So two of this years most anticipated albums dropped this week my review.

Blue Print 3
Well the album is very GOOD I don't think its a classic at the moment though. I was a lil disappointed in all the colabo. There are 11 of them, which is a bit too many imo, I don't know about everyone else but when I buy a album i just want to hear mostly the name that is on the cover.
But let me not take anything away from Jay he still holds it down and shows he can still go hard lyrically, its definitely worth a listen and probably one of those albums that will grow on you, most hardcore jay z fans will love it, but everyone else will probably think it just an ok album and a few may even say its shit.
So i say if your true fan of music and found it rubbish give it a few more tries and try to understand the lyrics and where he was going with this album you'll blown away. This cd will stand the test of time and years down the road it will be looked back on as a classic just like Blue Print 1 and the Black album is. (hold tight keswald and juslim your still both gay)


Thank you


I fuck with this tune and theirs nothing else to say but you should fuck with it to.


Haters - feat Kanye West


I love the way they carry the same flow, flip it back and forth and have no actual format on how many bars either the two should have. Also kanye's just rapping ridiculously hard of late for no reason.

Not even gonna lie the albums ridiculous, outrageous just bloody amazing. Very different to blue print 3 so i ain't even gonna compare the two and neither should you, this album is a breath of fresh air. I was concerned with it being 22 tracks, but I haven't found a track worth skipping yet, so I guess that means no filler, right?

The production rarely misses, and has an old school feel yet still sounds fresh in 2009. Almost every track is a head nodder. Chef and Ghost are on point throughout, and the guests don't disappoint either. I just wish ODB was around to be on this, though his tribute track Ason Jones is an album highlight
Hard to pick favorite songs off the album since there are so many good ones, but I'd go with: 10 Bricks, Gihad, Black Mozart, New Wu, Pyrex Vision (its too short!), Sonny's Missing, Baggin Crack, and Surgical Gloves.
If you loved the original "Linx," don't waste any time before you grab this it is just as rich, claustrophobic, grimy, violent, haunting.


Surgical Gloves.


Nothing to say, tunes just to hard for words.


Sonnys missing



Make sure you go out and buy both, no respect for those that don't have hard copies of either cds. So i leave you on this statement which was said last night in Spanish Harlem whilst i munched on rice-a-roni and fried shrimp,
"no excuse for complaining that the golden age of rap is over when the big daddies are still about"


Loving bntl like a fat kid loves cake.

  4. blueprint 3 for me is probably the worst album come out in a long time..but thats my views...its horrible..jay z jus sounds like an old man trying hard to stay on point...u can even hear him out of breath some times and his flow is off alot..ALOT...like alot of ppl are in denial and say hes amazing and a genius but they find it hard to admit he isnt wot he use to be..ok am slateing but BUT he is still one of the best in the game...and that says alot about this album...cus hip hop has put out alot of crap albums lately..the gud stuff u have to jus search for..

    OB4CL2 is jus fukin amazing..ur review sed it all..words cnt do it justice..u jus have to listen..i totoally agree..u will like it if your a hardcore hip hop fan...and u like LOVE it if u have listened to the first one over 10 times...classic in my opinon..
