1. You can’t have a classic album with Drake. He’s not classic material.
2. If you want a classic album and an album that resembles Eminem’s name, then you might want to try and make another ‘Renegade’ and clean that closet out.
3. Obviously haven’t heard it yet and the tracklisting is as said only rumors, but if true, then the production is way too onesided.
4. J. Cole needs to be on that album.
5. Answer the Game.
6. Leave DP3 off of BP3.
That is all.
‘OL bitin’ ass grandpa, shoulda called it quits after the black album.
He should drops a decent single
Run This Town is such a gay track
Fuck that, American Gangster was fuckin classic, and I believe that was his last album? Swagga Like Us?
Dude is still on top of his game. I agree about the Drake thing though, he needs to finally return PRIMO’s PHONE CALLS! ! SMH.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW…..COULD COULD SOMEONE PLEASE UPLOAD NAS SONG GOOD MORNING….NO DJ PLEASE….I NEED THAT SONG FOR THIS NAS AND J-DILLA MIX IM DOING FRIDAY IN CHARLOTTE NC….god bless
a link for the non-US residents please?
Actually now that I think about it , thats DOPE that this whole album is gonna be Kanye and NO ID. Usually an album sucks to me when every song is produced by a different dude. The best albums tend to be one producer on every track. I bet you this album is dope.
But yeah the cover art is still terrible, that explanation does nothing to change my mind lol.
To be dead honest with “Brandon”, I find it brilliant
1. Hatin’ on Drake gets you nothing. He’s the most sought after artist in hiphop right now. Why not have him on the album that is gonna be classic? Thats why Kanye put T-Pain on “Good Life”, ’cause he wants his albums to be a milestone of the time they were released.
2. It’s 3 fucking lines…Eminem didn’t create 3 lines. He didn’t even create the logo. Stop it. What if the new “renegade” is the record with Nas…or even more interesting, with Drake? That’d be interesting.
3. Most of the classic albums that have come out in our generation were produced by 1 person. It’s supposed to envoke a feeling as a cohesive project as opposed to just random tracks thrown in a mix. Look at “Illmatic”, look at “Ready To Die”, shit look at “Blueprint”. The majority of those songs were done by 1 person, and they came out fire.
4. J.Cole should get on it…but then again, Memphis Bleek ain’t on it either.
5. Fuck “The Game”…he already pre-ordered his copy of this.
6. Bring back a sequel to “Meet The Parents”…how bout that.
Production is way too one sided??? That’s RIDICULOUS! That is exactly what hip-hop NEEDS… more cohesive production. Like when Primo, Dre, or RZA or Eric Sermon would produce a whole album.
Answer Game on the album? That’s the worst thing in the world to do. Game is a fuckin CHUMP, who cries for attention. Acknowledging that, would bring Hov down a notch. Fuck that.
Run This Town is definitely garbage though. Very weak
Damn… I was a couple mins too late… but “i already know son” completely said what i was thinking. good shit… you are a gentleman and a scholar my friend
Im hoping for a classic, but from the looks of run this town…doesnt look like its gona turn out that way. Hopefully im wrong though
How is “Run This Town” garbage???? That shit is stadium music.
@ Brandon, shut cho ass up. Drake is the new generation of Hip-Hop when people go out a buy Blueprint 3, years from Now they’ll be calling this album The Ready to Die of our timE. Kanye west even made it knowN as far as production on this album he gave Hova some of his best beats ever. Like he said it’s not about radio or gimmicks let the me do his thing, The Blueprint = Classic/The Black Album = Classic/American Gangster = Classic. I’m quite sure this guy has been scoping out the music scene and know’s what he’s doing. I fucks with Game L.A.X was fire as well as The Documentary, but Jay is on another planet he’s too well established and a veteran to be going on youtube saying dumbshit his formula for success has been on point so far, why fuck that up? 09.11.09.
If Swagga Like Us part 2 ain’t on it then I ain’t buying it
I’ll just download that shit for free cause that’s the most anticipated song on the album and if left off then Jay is a dumbass with them big ass fucking lips
^^ You wasn’t gonna buy it anyway if thats the case.
why would jay ever put em on bp3? so he could get murdered on his own shit again??
^^^^ ahahaha this niggas said “Swagga like us pt 2″ Kill yo self!
sorry, jay didnt make no sense talking about 3 lines….
nigga tryin be “deep”
you dont have to be “deep” to be classic, ace!
Hahaha Swagga Like Us Pt. 2?? That whole song is fuckin gimmicky he better leave that shit off BP3 fuckin idiots. I definitely agree with the one-sided production. Last great album that ONE producer…..All In A Days Work….Statik W/ Saigon. Fuckin great. BP3 does have big shoes to fill lets see what it can do….

Answers to:
1. Fuck, I’ve had it with people calling Drake ‘Hip Hop’, if Drake is Hip Hop today then Mike Jones should not be crucified for coming out with records that’s more or less the same caliber. The only thing Drake is today is ”Easy money”, when Kanye had T-Pain on his record, the T-Pain love was flowing from all directions, HE was the most sought after person in the business, that’s all it is. HYPE. What the fuck have I learnt from Drake? I don’t know because I don’t listen to people that repeat the same shit 20-30 odd times in the space of 3 minutes.
2. Believe it or not, people will see the resemblence of Eminem in that logo, the way a 3 looks like an E, if Jay was smart he would’ve used that direction and gotten even more people interested.
3. You’ve stumped me here tbh and I agree with every word, now that I think of it. Right now, I’m fiending after Tonedeff’s and Kno’s project which should be better than Jay-Z – Kanye.
4. Ofc J. Cole should be on this fucking album! There shouldn’t even be a discussion, he’s his premier artist of his new record company ffs! Memphis Bleek and Freeway should’ve gotten a track as well but we’ll see when the real tracklisting surfaces.
5. Nah, he needs to respond and ether this dude, he can do more harm that good in the name of hip hop, siding with T-Pain and Soulja Boy of all people.
6. I agree.
i Relly dont care if the Cover was 3 fuckin butterflys i know that when jay wants shit he gets it, so the bp3 is gana be a classic

he’s talking about the history of the actual number three …….
Hell I like the cover, I think this album will be close to classic, just might be a classic….
…But can I get that Blueprint 3 t-shirt he is wearing????
“5. Fuck “The Game”…he already pre-ordered his copy of this.”
haha so true. this album’s gonna be dope, and i dont see what all the hatin on run this town is about. thats a solid track
@ Doja
I should kill myself for wanting a certain song!?!?!? The fuck outta here. Your a disgrace to music for that comment.
@ i already know son
I would buy it but like I said, I want SLU part 2. Only song I really like on it so far is DOA. Run This Town is alright but not as good. The track with Nas looks promising but that’s really not good enough for me to just go out and spend 10 dollars.
lol at everyone saying drake is the new generation, most sought after blah blah blah, we’ll see in 3 years if anyone still gives a shit about drake. i am guessing not.
jay doesnt know how to promote his own artist! Put Drake on your album but not J Cole?? Clearly, without question, a mistake on jay’s part. And secondly, Im tired of Jay, Nas, and countless other old heads talkin about bringin back classic music…when from what ive been listening to Lupe, Kanye, Clipse, TI have been putting out classic albums and the new generation has been putting out a slew of classic mixtapes in the past year. Jay is gettin real old….real old.
ummm to the dude talking about illmatic and ready to die having ONE producer…WRONG! illmatic had a few producers: q-tip, premo, pete rock, and about 2 others i believe..ready to die had puff, premo, and also a few others..the difference is that they are all great producers
1 Dollar … so if the other tracks you hear are great, you won’t buy it because it still doesn’t have SLU Pt. 2 on it?
explain your logic please.
A link for non US residents?? Thanks.

waiiiiit…”I already know son”….you’re wrong about “classic” albums having ONE sided production. I believe Primo, Large Pro, Q-Tip, Pete Rock and L.E.S. were all on “Illmatic”….the Blueprint had Kanye, Just Blaze, Timbaland, Eminem and Bink!.
jay talkin like he’s such an innovator .. fuck outta here..haha
The Blueprint was for the most part cohesive production wise though…
Mostly a Kanye/Just Blaze trademark touch, and the other producers were perfectly fitting (Bink naturally, but even Timbo – who would have recognized the Timbo touch on this one?)

people hate on Drake so much because theyre afraid that that nigga is gonna make Hip Hop even more mainstream with the r&b talent and clean background…even i didnt like the way this nigga blew up outta nowhere and shit but that doesnt mean im gonna hate on dude now…he’s still talented as fuck
J. Cole should be on the album 2 but who knows the tracklist aint offcial…and im really surprised anybody would question Kanye’s production skills..dude is a monster on the beats…
i dont take anything that nigga Game says serious anymore so Jay needs 2 brush that ish off..ha
Wow that sunglass is as big as his lips.
He has his album logo on his shirt, loser.
I’m still waiting to see if the album is classic as he kept repeating in his interview.
If so, I’ll support, I support all good music old as fuck or young as shit!
yea not puttin j.cole on the album is a bad move. and comparin drake to mike jones really? thas jus ignorant. whether ur a fan of drake or not, you cant say dude dont have talent
cover dope. cant wait for this album
