My review of Blueprint 3 at DJbooth.net

MidnightMaruder

Rating: 43211 MidnightMaruder's Top Rated Songs

My 3 most disappointing aspects of the BLUEPRINT III -

3) No real hard swings at the GAME! Whatever, beef is overrated anyways.

2) No NAS! I thought that they might get down on another track b/c they are on the same team now. This goes along with there being a lack of any classic MC on the album (other then Jay himself). I've always dreamed of a JayZ ft. Rakim/KRS/Andre3000/Ghostface etc. - on one of his albums. It didn't happen, kinda disappointed.

1) Kanye's songs! "Run this town" is borderline wack/okay, nothing really to it and it definitely lacks any creativity. Does anyone else think that Rhianna is annoying on it? "Hater" has a horrible beat - but I have to say that their beats on it are pretty ill. I was kinda hoping for a ridiculously tight Kanye song to cruise to or one that is just a little less sleepy. Ain't no love in the heart of the city!

My 3 BEST aspects of the album!

3) Giving the new school some props! J. Cole, Drake, Jeezy, Cudi - I like the fact that he took time to make some ill tracks with them. Not sure which one of the songs is the best - might go with the Jeezy. "A Star is born" gives props to the old school and then explains who's next, well done on that one.

2) Empire State and Thank You are straight classics. Alicia Keys is amazing. Laid back songs perfect for the end of the summer chillings.

1) You can basically listen to this album straight thru - no song is THAT bad to everyone. Kind of has something for everyone in that sense.

PEACE!
