the album that i have been most excited for all year is jay-z's blueprint 3. the official track list came out today and i was a little surprised by how many features are on there. the features include kanye, kid cudi, drake, jeezy, j.cole, mr. hudson, alicia keys, pharrell, rihanna, and swizz beats. i found it interesting that jay decided to put all these upcoming artists on his own album. drake, kid cudi, j.cole, and mr. hudson have gotten a lot of buzz this summer and i have become a big fan of all of them. when i saw the title "empire state of mind" i was a little upset that nas didn't get the feature but you can't get everything you want. some people will argue that there are too many guest appearances but i think we can all agree that jay has proved himself enough lyrically and can share the limelight with some new artists.
some people are upset that "jockin jay-z", "history", and "brooklyn we go hard" didnt make the actual album but i don't think it is that big of a deal.
the tracks im most excited for are "off that", "a star is born", "already home", and "hate".
blueprint 3 comes out sept. 11, dont forget to pick it up.
