Jay-Z Blueprint 3 Album Cover

The Blueprint 3 cover looks more like something you’d expect from Kanye. I’m not sure where Jay’s going with this but, now that he’s got my attention, he better make it good. Pop the lid for the alleged tracklist.

It could just be existing photography that Jay likes. The Secret Machines cover could be by the same artist?

Empire State of Mind sounds like it could be a magnum opus of sorts…I just hope it lives up to my expectations.

Get the old production crew from the original Blueprint. I hope this shit is gutter and stays away from the pop side of the tracks.

Zino,
History is (apparently) the 2nd bonus track, song #15. Listed as ‘We Made History’

Bonus track 1, song #14, is ‘Sound of the 70’s’ produced by Kanye.

I feel bittersweet. If this were 2000 and u told me Jay would have a whole album produced by Kanye Id say it will be 5 mics easy; soulful, tear enducing music.

Now…i dont know, Kanye has gotten so gay this shyt might be average beat wise.

Just imagine if Jay had a whole album of ‘This cant be life’, ‘Guess who’s back’, ‘Nothing Like it’ beats
