I remember going to the mall in Providence, RI one November during high school. We went into a Tower (sniff sniff) and I walked out with a copy of The Black Album. We drove back to my cousin Paul's house and popped the disc into his little Sony boombox in the basement. We listened, amazed. It seems like ancient history: a time before Kanye exploded and became a bloated supernova, a time before the autotuner (and it's death), a time when Em could stop everything with a verse.
New Jay ain't like that. The Blueprint 3 has decent tracks, but lacks the drive and imagination of The Blueprint, Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, etc.
Buy it?
mp3 Jay-Z Empire State of Mind
