The Blueprint III | Jay-z new album

The Blueprint III by Jay-z was released by jay-z a good few months and as sounds great. The album (The Blueprint III) consists of songs with Mr Sean Carter himself. The Blueprint III album features artists such as Kanye West, Rhianna, Mr Hudson, Pharrell, Timbaland, Kid Cudi, J.cole among others, The albums wait has been a tense one, there has seemed to be a never ending wait for all of Jay-Z albums and it seems that the build up to The Blueprint III was the ultimate build up to an album. On The Blueprint III Jay-z speaks politically about many things, here are some of things that Jay-Z talks about:

His relationship and Hip-hops relationship with Cristal, getting back at them for their racist views on the hip hop culture.

On The Blueprint III he also talks about being “In” with Obama, and the fact that he is bigger than Elvis (which is damn true) and that only the Beatles can beat him

One song on The Blueprint III focuses on all the rappers and they came up, talking about how he feels about them.

Jay-Z also talks about how people are still living in the past, and how the culture of hip hop is evolved, or at least he has evolved.

The Blueprint III album was probably the most anticipated album in Hip-hop for the last few years, Since The Blueprint II, and it was definitely not a letdown. I feel the album was clearer and straight-forward compared to the others Jay-z albums. Not to say that there were no deep metaphors, there definitely was but most of the album was more straight forward. On The Blueprint III you can really take what you hear as what is meant to be said. The Blueprint III got to number one in the billboard album charts. Jay-z himself predicted The Blueprint III to get to number on the album when he was recording it, and he was not wrong. The songs and sounds on the album definitely show another side of Jay-z, I feel that The Blueprint III has different sounds due to the producers, and the producers’ style. This isn’t a bad thing but I do think that this is a new side to him. I wonder whether this is just an experiment or weather this is the future of Jay-Z in hip-hop. I am definitely looking forward to hearing the next jay-z album to see what style of changed his will make to his sound.
