^I hope that last bonus cut is History/Victory that leaked a while ago. That's already one of my favorite Jay tracks. The production is 

[the.SET]

yea Kanye/NoI.D. handling 98% of the production is great imo

LOL, Def Jam is about to release this, to cash in on Jigga:

    Now that Jay-Z has left Def Jam, Hov’s former label is looking to cash in on Jay one last time.

    Def Jam will release The Blueprint Collector’s Edition consisting of Jigga’s first two classic albums, The Blueprint and The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse.

    Jay-Z’s collector’s set will be packaged in a collectible slipcase with a poster. There will be space to insert a third CD.

    The Blueprint Collector’s Edition releases September 8, three days before The Blueprint 3 arrives on September 11 through Atlantic Records.

DeathRow tactics..

Wow

I thoguht the original was pretty amazing but this so far looks pretty average. DOA was overhyped cause of its message. Listening to Jiggas lyrics on both the leaked songs so far I just don't get the same buzz.

[LAXCENTRAL]

i didn like this shit

[OcToExtraordinaire]

[dubsmith_nz]

Wow that's pretty different to what's above. Good to see J. Cole on there. Defo gonna cop this. Damn Ima be broke in September. Crooked I, Chronic Re-Release, Raekwon, Jay Z, 50 Cent, and NZ's own David Dallas. Mannn

[Lunatic]

Way worse than original track list

6 - Jeezy/Inkredibles are dope, but don't want to hear them with Jay
7. Swizz Beatz - the worst mainstream producer, period.
8. Timbaland/Drake tells me its gonna be poppy as shit
10. Timbo and Jay screams mainstream to me
13. ^
14. Neptunes same boat as Timbo here

These are the tracks that scare me. They could all be dope, but i'm skeptical for now.

[Jome]

Timbo + Jay = always fire.. not thrilled about Swizz & Neptunes though, but they have their moments.

And Young Cheezy is very unnecessary on a Jigga-album.

Timbo/Jay are hit and miss. He did some jems but also some real crap on blueprint 2 and vol.3

Tracks 6 & 7 worry me, got to love that production line up though.
