yo....DAMN SHIT IZ TIGHT.....
I THINK JIGGA IZ A FAR BETTER LYRISIST THAN NAS.....NAS IZ HIGHLY INCONSISTENT....WICH MAKEZ HARD FO HIM TO CONSENTRATE A TRACK ON A TOPIC.....I ONLY LIKE HIZ VOCALZ.....
JIGGAZ FLOWEZ AIN MONOTONIC...HE JUS GOTZ A PATICULAR KINDA VOICE.....ITZ AS IF YOU WOULD SAY DAT EM GOT MONOTONIC FLOW....OR BIGGIE....
OR ANYONE ELSE...IF YOU WANNA HEAR MONOTONIC LISTEN TO WARREN GZ FLOW...NOW DAT REALY MONOTONIC (DATZ WHY HE KNOWN FO HIZ PRODUCTION SKILLZ AND NOT HIZ RAPPIN SKILLZ)......I LIKED JIGGA FAR BEFO I LIKED EM.....SO I DON THINK EM IZ A BETTER LYRISIST THAN JAY....THO HE IZ EXCELENT.....NOW SCARFACE.....JIGGA RIPZ HIM EASILY......
I THINK JIGGA IZ ON THA SAME LEVEL WIT RAKIM.....IF NOT MO SUFISTICATED THAN HIM....
ANYWAY...YOU SHOULDNT HAVE MENTIONED NAS AND RAKIM AT THA SAME TIME CAUZE WHEN IT COMEZ TO FLOWEZ...NAS REALY SOUNDZ JUS LIKE RAKIM.....AND I THINK VOL 3 WAZ HIZ BEST
AND MIGHT BE WHEN I GIVE DIS SHIT A COUPLE OF SPINZ (BLUEPRINT) ILL CHANGE MY MIND FO DIS SHIT....CUAZE I GOT USED FO JIGGA GETIN BETTER.(FAMILIA JUS DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH JIGGA BUT IT CONMEZ CLOSETO HIZ BEST)....AND BOUT LYRICAL LIMITZ......JIGGA DOESNT HAVE THEM...UNLIKE NAS......
AND WHAT PIPZ CALL BRAGIN...AIN DIFFRENT FROM
RAPPAZ DID FO THA LAST DECATE.....YO EVEN PAC DID IT.....
I LL SAY DIS AGAIN...WHY DO YALL GIVE A FUCK BOUT TOPICZ....I ONLY CARE BOUT HOW  THA RAPPA DELLIVERZ HIZ TOPIC...IF IT UP TO ME IT CAN BE THA CRAZIEST TOPIC......LIKE EMZ SHIT....
THA RAPPA MAY TELL HOW LONG DID IT TAKE HIM TO SMOKE HIZ SIGAR...

Don't be a young idiot saying dumb shit like "Jigga rips Scarface easily" and "is on Rakim's level". EVERYBODY (including Jigga) says Rakim's the illest and EVERYBODY respects Scarface but u're too damn Hip Hop-ignorant to know that... U can't be over 14 for saying bullshit like that but keep on... And I won't even mention Nas... PLEASE, LET'S KEEP THIS POST ON THE ALBUM REVIEW TOPIC ONLY. I'm a bigger Jay-Z fan than you are, but I know my Hip Hop history and I ain't foolish...
Keep it strictly BLUEPRINT y'all... None of that beef and shit... Holla!
PS: Yo son, to answer ur question, we care about TOPICS coz we're mature cats and we don't ONLY bump beats and appreciate flows and delivery... We ALSO try to get something out of music... Unlike u...

Post by: RivieraIII on August 29, 2001, 02:25:05 PM
Nobody has the entire album on MP3 yet... You might check Kazaa for the joint with Eminem, "Renegades" but that's about what I know so far...

Post by: Doggystylin on August 29, 2001, 10:00:01 PM
what? i have the whole thing. i got it at a diff link

anyways, yeah the beats are crap. damn it would have much better if the beats were good, sometimes the beat ruins the whole song, but jay came really tight on the lyrics,

here is how i rate his albums
Reasonable Doubt
Vol  1.  and Blueprint tie ( i dunno i need to listen to em more)
Dynasty
vol 2
vol 3


i havent listened to his shit ina while so i might be off but ill come back after a listen to all his shit

actualy dont pay attention to that list, lol

Yo, I_GEEZY, I do remember agreeing with you on some Jigga topics a while ago but you see how other peeps react when you say something??? I ain't trying to diss you, u took it the wrong fuckin' way, but I can assure you that if you start a forum asking cats if Jigga would rip Scarface or/and Rakim you'll feel crazy foolish when you realize that most heads agree with what I said earlier... NOW, you're still entitled to your opinion so it's all good. Just don't think that becoz I agreed with you on some other shit (when cats where dissin' Jigga and shit), I'll agree with WHATEVA you say. If I feel u're wrong, I'll spit it and if I believe you're right I'll quote you. same treatment with every fucking person up in this forum. It doesn't mean it's on if we disagree, it just means that people have different tastes... which is NORMAL. So kill that whole shit. I maintain what I said about Jigga, Ra and Face and you do too. Guess what: it's all gravy... One...

Actually the production on this album is pretty damn good..

Post by: RivieraIII on September 25, 2001, 05:03:42 PM
OK y'all... I reviewed the album but I forgot to review the 2 bonus tracks:
"Lyrical exercise", the 1st one is sure FIRE. Not only is the beat on point but Jigga really SPITS on this one; he doesn't laugh, play, whateva; he SPITS crazy. That's a 4.5/5
"Girls, Girls, Girls" (remix) is waaaaayyyyyyyyyy better than the wack ass main version. THIS should have been the next single and track #4 on the album. A good 4/5.

FINALLY, after a few more spins, I give THE BLUEPRINT 4.25/5 instead of 3.75 But it ain't classic like the Source said... Would have been minus "Girls" (original) and "Jigga that nigga". Still, it's a very very good record... HOLLA!

Post by: Don Jacob on October 09, 2001, 10:07:34 PM
classic my ass


1. the ruler's back- inconistant rhymes and overlooped beat--3/5

2. Takeover-Tight Disses mixed with inconsistant rhymes, tight parts with the beat but kayne west will add a whack part to the beat when a tight part kicks in--4/5 (for the tight disses)

3.izzo- 1 word annoying --2.5/5

4. Girls Girls Girls- 1 word classic--5/5

5. jigga that nigga-piece of shit pop track 3/5

6. u don't know--tight solid track 4.5 /5

7. hola hovito--jay-z comes off alright, but VERY disappointing beat by my 2nd fav producer in the industry right now Timbo--3.75/5

8. heart of the city--nothing great but nothing really whack--3.75

9. never change--- a pretty tight track nothing really  :o but nothing really  :-/---3.75

10 song cry---a nice track not classic but tight---4.5/ 5

11. all i need--ok track verry inconsistant---3/5

12. Renegade--TIGHT verse and beat by eminem, jay-z comes off inconsistant though----4/5

13. blueprint---tight song---4.5/5

******
bounous tracks
******

whatever the first one is it sucks and i fast forward through this bullshit---2/5

girls girls girls remix----fucked up a classic, for that i can't forgive---1/5




overall a 3. 75 mic album without the bounous tracks and a 3.5 mic album with the bounous tracks


seriously if you put this album in the same category with


Aquemini
The Chronic
Enter the Wu
Straight Outta Compton
Midnight Mirauders
Soul food
ect...


you are simply one big fat fucking FOOOOL!
Title: Re: Jay.Z's THE BLUEPRINT: Full REVIEW...
Post by: Jay ay Beee on October 13, 2001, 06:21:27 AM
Ok here's my review

Rulers Back - Tight ass beat - "I am young Vito voice of the young people" Tight rhymes - Listen to GZ and Hustlas and Ain't no Fun and they loop more than this beat - Still classic trax - 4 (great start)

Takeover - Chorus is lacking but he rips Nas and destroy's Prodigy - Beat is nice - 3.5

H to the Izzo - Cartoony - nice rhymes tho "Wasn't born hustler but I was birth in 'em" - 3

Girls Girls Girls - Beat is awesome, his rhymes are awesome the track is awesome - 5

Jigga that Nigga - Crap ass track - 1

U Don't Know - Hottest joint on the street right now - Just Blaze is creeping up - his trademark distorted samples kick ass - "I sell fire in hell, I am a hustler baby I sell water to a well" - Whoa - 5

Hola Hovito - Very nice track - Timbaland tries something distant to his normal jumpy poppy dope trax - 4

Heart of the City - This song takes the whole CD takes the rhyming cup takes every accolade it deserves - Jay rips it everytime but still recieves hate. "Damn, where's the love".  H8's - 5

Never Change - Shit this joint is dope - Jay all day - Is it Beanie on the chorus? - 4.5

Song Cry - Nice sampling again - Chorus needed more work - 3.5

All I Need - This and Jigga that Nigga shouldn't have made it on - it's not as bad as Jigga that Nigga but it still ain't up to the standard of this album - 2

Renegade - I don't need to comment - 5
"Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it"  Think about that one

Blueprint - Nice ass dedication - Westwood loves this one - Hot joint - 4

Breathe Easy - Jigga rips it again - Chorus ain't up to it tho-4
"I'm not saying I'm God - but I work God damn hard" - Two meanings and a hotass line - fast forward lyricism like that?

Girls Girls Girls rmx - Oh my God! The first verse is one of the greatest displays of rhyming ever - the woman on the chorus is better than Q Tip, Biz Markie and Slick Rick on the OG - already become an anthem for me and my m8s when we're cruising - great sampling - I once said I'd never do this but I'ma have to - 6

This album is hot - there will always be hataz but Jay is Jay

I'm a fool but I'm skinny as hell - I ain't fat - and still this album is a classic

;)

Everyone has opinions - Don't hate on other opinions and think you're righteous

That's why Muslims hate America :o

The fact that so many people are going out of their way to review this album shows how good it is.  Whether you love it or hate it, you can't ignore it.  Jigga is doing his thing.  ****.5 by the way.

I still bump Blueprint on the regular (even though I've been blastin GURU for the past 2 days). But I HATE "Girls, Girls, Girls". That's the reason why that album is not a 5/5 in my opinion. It's very well put together though. I luv 98% of it...
