Dr.Dre and Eminem to produce a track each for new Jay-Z album

[West Coast Veteran]

you know that jay is more than likely going to be sued by metallica if he uses the title "the black album" or has any resemblence to it for the cover art

Prince should sue Metallica.

[Jome]

so many producers = crap.

it might work but usually its shit.

nah I think it should be good since he's fucking with the best

so lets see

Kanye West
Just Blaze
Dr.Dre
Eminem
Rick Rubin
Neptunes
?uess Love
Dj Quik
Dj Premiere
Ski
Pain in Da Ass

I dont know but it looks good for me and I cant wait

I would think he likes Rockwilder better than Pain in Da Ass, but the rest is on point.. maybe even Rick Rock.

[Mudpole]

Yeah I don't like Em production that much either, and shit
Jigga think he gonna break hollywood that makes me laugh

Okay first off Pain in da Ass is not a producer, he is a Scarface (Pacino) impersonator that was on Jay's first records doing interludes.

Secondly, Metallica does not have a copyright to "The Black Album" title, the album was self-titled as Mighty Whitey said and the Black Album is just a nickname given to it by fans (similar to Weezer's "Green Album" and "Blue Album" these are not official titles, just names fans use for them.  The concept behind that album had nothing to do with the no-promotion idea that Jay is working with, that idea was dreamt up by Biggie.

He's hardly working with that idea.  He's been promoting already well before the targeted release.

[Wizard Whitebeard]

Yeah I know but that was the original idea behind it.  Just fillin' people in.  Personally I think they should call it something else if they are gonna promote it like a regular album.

[Twentytwofifty]

So do I.

If he was going to follow Biggie's idea cause he couldn't do it, do it properly.

[Wizard Whitebeard]

Maybe he's still going with the idea of doing no promotional photos, no photos for the liner notes, etc.  That was the main idea behind it to my understanding.

[Efrain]

I don’t think this prequel to reasonable doubt idea is going to fly. In order for albums to be classic's they need to be AHEAD of their times not behind them. If jay hit us with reasonable doubt pt.2 tomorrow people wouldn’t only sleep on it, they would think it was wack.
If jay wants to make a classic he should stick with three or so UNIQUE producers, not 20 big name generic hit makers like dre, em, neptunes etc. I'd try to do a real follow up to the blueprint and just have Kanye, Just Blaze and Timbo handle it. And please, pain in da ass?? Christ that shit was fuckin stupid.
