![]() The lyrics include shout outs to rising icons and successful artists. “A star is born” featuring new and upcoming artist, J.Cole, who will be performing at the “Koncert Talley Party” on September 25th, 2009, is another masterpiece. If you miss the boat, too bad because it is already gone, and it is not coming back. In other words, what you do or have done in the past/present determines your where you get in the future. Drake says, “You can’t bring the future back”. This track is a standout because it talks about how they are “off” all the minuscule things in life that do not contribute to having a successful future. It can’t really be described any other way. “Off that” featuring Drake is upbeat and futuristic. It just makes you want to move, and that is the very core of what makes a song a hit. Swizz Beatz has an awkward beat that ironically makes the song what it is. ![]() It gets some airtime in the club and it is one of those songs that everybody loves because it is a “represent where your from” song. “Real as it Gets” featuring Young Jeezy is one of those “real recognizes real” cuts. If you have a nightlife, you know what I am talking about. When this song comes on, hands go up, voices get louder, and people sing-along passionately with Rihanna. Next, “Run this town” featuring singer Rihanna & rapper Kanye West is without a doubt, the new club anthem. Everybody loves T-pain, but are rappers singing too much? More importantly, would people still buy the albums if artists did not conform to “what’s new/hot?” D.O.A will make you think about the current state of hip-hop which is already up for debate, but every once in a while a track like this one will come along and remind us that true hip-hop is still very much alive. This track does not pose a question as to rather it is a hit or not, but the real conflict begins with the reoccurring sense that “real music” or raw talent is dead. T-Pain has responded back by saying, “Jay-Z is 59 years old, what does he know about what’s hot?” at one of his concerts. Unfortunately, the next highlight D.O.A (Death of AutoTune) (in which Jay-Z specifically calls out rapper T-Pain), is a source that has supposedly upset T-Pain. ![]() Take a moment of silence for the death of T-pain-I mean Auto-tune. Keys belts out, “Let’s here it for New York” and-I say, “Let’s here it for these two artists.” With lyrics from websites like “ ”, this track will make you breathe deep for the big city. A dynamic duo to say the least, they give us an ode to New York, the place where dreams are made through streets that make you feel brand new, and where the lights inspire you. This is a commendable act for Jay-Z to share his flavor with his fellow icons.Ī major highlight track is “Empire State of Mind” featuring. A highlight of the Blueprint 3 is that it features many popular artists. A legend such as this man can not seem to deliver anything less than perfection. Diamonds in the air for yet another classic CD from the semi-retired Jay-Z that was released on Friday, September 11, 2009. ![]()
