Jay-Z – The Blueprint

1. The ruler’s back…Decent production and lyrics.  3.5/5
2. Takeover…Diss track aimed at Nas.  Boring production.  Lyrics are good though.  3.5/5
3. Izzo (H.O.V.A.)…Radio-friendly track.  Very catchy hook.  3.5/5
4. Girls, girls, girls…Tight laidback production.  Nice addition of Slick Rick and Biz Markie in the chorus.  4/5
5. Jigga that nigga…Catchy beat and good flow.  3.5/5
6. U don’t know…Very slow beat, but Jay-Z rides the track nicely.  The little squeaky voice adds a lot the track.  4.5/5
7. Hola’ Hovito…Decent beat and flow.  The hook is annoying though.  3/5
8. Heat of the city (Ain’t no love)…A+ production.  Lyrical content is on point fitting production well.  A+ chorus.  5/5
9. Never change…Laidback production.  A+ lyrics.  Good hook.  4.5/5
10.   Song cry…Deep song with an emotional feel to it.  Good display of story-telling ability.  5/5
11.   All I need…Good production.  The wailing in the background is slight, but it adds a lot to the song.  Dope flow.  4.5/5
12.   Renegade…Only guest artist on the album appears here: Eminem.  Dope production and dope flow by both Em and Jay, especially Em.  5/5
13.   Blueprint (Momma loves me)…Quality production and tight lyrics.  Nice song.  4.5/5

OVERALL…8/10

The album starts off average, but the end is what the makes this a good CD.  Songs are worth skipping from 1-7, but 8-13 can be played straight through.  The production gets a lot better and you really start to feel the lyrics.  Many verses sound straight from the heart.  

King-Suge:
Blueprint is STILL a great album..unlike Stillmatic which stayed a whole week in my changer.  5 mics for sure.
