As if ya’ll havent already heard it, here it is, Jay-Z’s new single Run This City featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. What do ya’ll think? How is Blueprint 3 shaping up now with DOA and Run This City? Sounds like Kanye came a little tougher than the GOAT. Kanye’s ONE verse>Jay-Z’s TWO verses. I wish Rihanna would stop making songs with rappers. All her joints are starting to sound like T Pain on hooks.
Jay-Z Run This City featuring Rihanna and Kanye West
Shout out to hiphopdx for the link
For all you D riders out there, I am sorry to disappoint but Jay has confirmed that Blueprint 3 will feature MGMT, Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson, Drake, Rihanna and Air Yeezy. Now I’m not trying to judge a book or a fairy tale by its cover but those are some WACK ASS FEATURES. Jay’s new single is supposed to drop this Friday, July 24th. I think it’s kind of funny that Jay’s album seems to be TOTALLY controlled by Kanye and his personal taste. Shout out to Kid Cudi and Drake for being the two new hottest emcees in the game(according to Jay). I mean he couldn’t even get Freeway, Beans or Wale. Once again, I am just chronically the developments of this album so when I say “I told you so” there is proof. I think I’m gonna take an opposite stance though now and call BP3 a classic before it drops. I just wanna feel the same pain as all the D riders when Jay fails them again. I can’t WAIT for this album. Peep the article at hiphopdx. This shit is hilarious!!!!
Now I KNOW I am giving Jay-Z more publicity than I should but I just want to chronicle his downfall so there is proof that I was right this whole time. First off let me say that Jay-Z WAS the GOAT as far as mainstream is concerned. However, over these past several years as an artist and as a music executive, he has had MANY fails. Lets not talk about Rocafella. Clearly Kanye is in a league of his own and responsible for his own success. Jay didn’t jump on Yeezy’s dick until he was already hot. It is a well known fact that Jay did not want Kanye to rap. He has let the careers of MANY promising artists go down the drain as the head of the Roc and the head of Def Jam. Def Jam isn’t even a credible hip hop label any more. Big Boi did just sign to Def Jam though. I guarantee they will not provide his project with the promoting and marketing it deserves. Sorry for rambling and back to my original point. According the the rumors section on allhiphop.com, the features for Blueprint 3 have been released. We already know Kanye and No I.D. are producing but the features haven’t been talked about. I assumed Drake would be on there because he is one of the hottest new articles but check this out.

“They are MGMT, Drake, Mr. Hudson, Rihanna and Kid Cudi.”
I’m not sure about you guys but that sounds pretty POP to me. This is not fact and merely a rumor as of now but none of those features surprise me. We know Kanye is cool with all them dudes and I’m assuming he knows MGMT too but I guess we will see. Stay tuned for more Jay Hatin’ from hip hop’s number one hater Mike Schpitz. I’m kind of feeling like The GAME right now.
Shout out to Big Boi. Hopefully Def Jam won’t fail us again.
With all of the hype around Jay-Z , Blueprint 3 and now with 50 Cent dropping his album on the same day(I still thinking it is a marketing ploy by labels to sell records), two important questions must be asked: Who will sell more records and more importantly who will have the better album? I touched on this topic briefly in an early post but I wanted to officially ask the question and provide an example. Case and point. Which song is better and which song is a bigger disappointment, Crack A Bottle or Swagger Like Us? Crack A Bottle was the first leak from Eminem’s HIGHLY anticipated return, Relapse and it featured production AND a verse from the legendary Dr. Dre and a verse from 50 Cent. Em even says “the platinum trio is back on you hoes.” How do you feel about the “three headed monster’s” return to hip hop? Was it as dope as those three are capable of or was it a disappointment and a tragedy? More importantly compared to TI/Jay-Z’s “single” Swagger Like Us, is Crack A Bottle a better song or a bigger disappoinment? Swagger Like Us was originally for TI’s album, Paper Trail until Jackin Jay-Z stole it for his album that eventually got pushed back and retracted as a single. SLU, as some like to call it, features the 4 hottest rappers in the world, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and TI over a Kanye West produced beat with an MIA sample. Is SLU as incredible as these 4 emcees are capable of or is the song a failed/lazy attempt by 4 of the most overrated emcees in the game? Who shined and who failed? I want to hear everyone’s thoughts about which song, Crack A Bottle or Swagger Like Us is better as well as which song is more of a disappointment. I have my own thoughts but I will save them for another time. Just in case you need a refresher, here they both are.
I just read an article on Hiphopdx(that came from Yo Raps) that says Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 and 50 Cent’s Before I Self-Destruct are both dropping on the eighth anniversary of September 11th. For the second time, 50 has purposely released his album on the same day as another hip hop heavy weight. Last time, 50 and Kanye went head to head and Kanye not only smashed him in record sales, he put out a better album. This time around, 50 is going against, arguably the GOAT, Jay-Z. If this was 2001, I would say 50 had no chance but in light of Jay-Z turning from GOAT to OOAT, I think 50 is gonna MERK Jay and put out a better album. I think Jay will sell more copies thatn 50 just because Jay will have Kanye, Drake AND Lil Wayne on his album because he can’t hold his own any longer. Regardless, I think this will officially be Jay’s last attempt to keep his legacy alive and a DECENT moment in hip hop. I like how 50 continues to go up against the biggest names in hip hop. He seems to be one of the last with that competitive spirit. I might even drop Love Potion that day and take em BOTH down. Stay tuned for all the press and publicity the “showdown” will receive. Big ups to 50 for challenging the OOAT when everyone else is just scurrrred. The GAME too. Good shit GAME. Peep the article.
