The Blueprint to The Blueprint

Alright, so I couldn't find a way to stay away forever. Busy month, yadda yadda yadda.

Straight to the point with this one, The Blueprint 3 has officially hit stores (though it did get leaked weeks before release) and, to put it in simple terms, my forehead has hit my steering wheel multiple times after hearing some of the lines coming from this man's mouth. You don't need to be a true Jay-Z fan to appreciate this album because I'm sure everyone on this planet has or has at one time owned a Jay-Z LP or single. It's unfair to say that "Empire State of Mind" or "Run This Town" are the biggest hits on this album; Swizz Beats dropped "On To The Next One" and its been bumpin' in the ride all day. One thing I will definitely say, I'm loving the fact that there's no "Featuring Lil Wayne" on a single song, though we do have some Kanye bars and Drake lines coming in strong.

This album is definitely "the shit" so in preparation for the Blueprint 3 I've been reliving the Blueprint and The Gift and The Curse: "Girls, Girls, Girls"; "Renegade"; "A Dream"; "Excuse me Miss"; "Song Cry"... WOW talk about bringing back memories and living moments long forgotten. I think I've officially added Jay-Z to the list of famous people who's should shake my hand. So here's a track from each of the Blueprint albums, each paving the road of music to come.
