Jay-Z's highly anticipated album Blue Print 3 produced by Kanye West is set to release Sept 11Th. This album is said to release through his own label Roc Nation. Since the Blue Print was released on Sept,11,2001 the day of the 9-11 attacks, he decided to release the 3rd one on that same date. The album features songs such as D.O.A. (Death of Autotune) which criticizes those who rely on autotune to sell records. The song talks about all the gimmicks being used by artists that have distorted the true essence of good music. Lyrically in hip hop everything has went down hill and most people are into making catchy songs which have no significant meaning, rather than putting together metaphors which make people stop and think. There are only a hand full of dope lyricists Jay-Z, Fabolous,Ludacris, Common, & Eminem.
There are a couple others who are good too like Jada Kiss & Kanye West but other than that, the "booty doo", and "stanky leg" have flooded the airwaves. Making me want to know who classified that as hip hop/rap. Sounds more like club house music if you ask me.
Another song by Jay-Z which has just released its video is "Run this Town" which features Rihanna. Jay-Z has proven his consistency as an all around artist. He has ventured out in ways many would have never imagined. One thing for sure is that his fans are very loyal and are anxiously awaiting the release of his new album.
