KVB:

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.
