I remember not wanting to do my homework without listening to this; back in hs. Classic.

 

[dabottom305]

When I first heard Song Cry, I cried. Played it maybe 100x that week.

 

[King of Trash Style]

Jay was the best rapper out at the time and he knew it........only 2 throw away songs out of 15 and the subject matter

Yeah right...good album though. 

You know why it's not the most complete balanced album...cause you had tracks like Izzo, Jigga That @***$, and Hola Hovito on it.

I will never forget the first time I heard "U Don't Know" in the August of 2001 on y2HipHop.com



I don't think I've played a track so many times before then...




S**t was and still is incredible...




Don't get me started on Renegade...

 

[gllahone84]

^ yeah don't let me get started on renegade either

What are the two throw away songs?
Do you guys think The Blueprint is better than Reasonable Doubt?

NO!
but for real, much appreciated. Indisputable classic that has only gotten better for me with time

 

[venom lyrix]

this is Jay-Z's most consistent, and complete album.

I juggle The Black Album, Reasonable Doubt and this as my favorite Jay albums.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Heart of the City is greatly appreciated, as is the album.

but Reasonable Doubt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

ok.  Anywaysssss, hola hovito and jigga that ____ are 2 garbage songs, the rest is classic.

 

[cuffy]

Very overrated album...The Black Album and American Gangster > Blueprint

 

[essential1]

One of the things Jay-Z brought to this album was a lot of his soul... And I think Kanye did a lot to bring that out of him with ahead of their time beats, but at the time I don't think anyone could have pulled what Jay-Z did out of those beats.


Classic album

Blueprint is a classic album no question. But over the years I don't see it as great as I did in the beginning. Even tho " Song Cry is one of my fav Jay songs.

RD is his best IMO and the best songs on Black Album>>> The best songs on Blueprint.

$%$# it I will just say it Black album> The blueprint but not by a lot.
