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.
Thoughts? Opinions? Bueller?
lol
hustled
gash cover
wow lol
lol wao
cant wait for this.
Pimp move by Def Jam but disrespectful to Jay. Oh well, alls fair right?
“There will be space to insert a third CD”
lmao
lol nice idea to include space for a third cd haha
i hope jay jus drops a 3 disc case w/ his album…
Atleast it is blue
I love Jay-Z but Blueprint 2 was not a classic. It was good but not as solid as the original. Waste of money IMO. No unreleased tracks just a new case…lame.
bp2 not a classic
Save this Pic … Photoshopped/Edit it out and add numeral “3″ to it, then use it as the cover for Album dropping on September 11.
looks good
mediafire?
haha… clever
Oooooohhh, a new case and a poster!!!
Def Jam’s entire marketing dept. should be fired.
whatever…will cop it like every jigga album since 1998 on the release date…early, ya heard!!!
if blueprint 2 was cut down to one disk… it would be a classic
I wonder what Jay thinks about this, hmm.
Shouldn’t there be space for 3 discs by default, considering BP2 was 2 discs, or are they using the condensed BP2.1 version?
ayo, didn’t they already do this with Blueprint 2.1?! why do it again? smh

That cover is actually pretty dope. I like the idea. Add a sketch style outline of Jay’s face or something, whatever them Photoshop Filters be doing and this would be such a better cover for BP3 than that other one he released.
No Bueno. I purchase far less compact discs nowadays than when this album even debuted. Your weak attempt to squeeze out more dinero from a less than spectacular Jay-Z album is a failure. Pour those dollars instead into Ghostface Killah’s R&D department. That is all.
[...] Def Jam is scheming ways to still profit off Hov, he’s readying the release of his upcoming video with Kanye [...]

nope.
“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.”
……………….
FAIL…
epic fail…”first two classic albums”? Just because you missed him on Reasonable Doubt doesn’t mean it wasn’t his first classic Def Jam. This is the biggest pocket-rape ever…but let’s think for a second…didn’t Jay buy his catalog? Would he not be getting some sort of $$ for this then?
Not all shame is due to Def Jam..but definitely most.
1, 2, 2.5 ?
this is the open-source edition of Blueprint v. 0.8.033b

Yeah. Seriously.
why buy this when bp3 actually has a dope cover>
I swear record labels are like a crazy ex girl you gave ya all only to figure out she wasn’t worth shit after you left her years later… and it pisses you off that you didn’t leave earlier to do you!
