Jay doesn't do big singles if ur a Jay fan u know this track will hold u long enough for the album

what do you mean by that? th emajority of the bp series is garbage singles that were on every radio station non stop ... BP = one of the mostoverrated things in rap history

I feel you on that. It's not even gonna be as big as D.O.A. I know people that hate Jay but still rock with D.O.A on their ringtones. that ishow big Jay.

Guarantee that Public Enemy line went over 90% of this threads heads

 

[delete1234]

Last Jay Z single I liked was "Lost ones".....shoulda stuck wit drake.

 

[jwm]

kanye finally uped jay on a song verse was

jay's verse was

for his standards nonetheless a solid track

Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz recently revealed his role in Jay-Z's upcoming The Blueprint 3 album and what fans could expect. In addition to producing tracks for Jay's highly anticipated release, Swizzy spoke on the shared appreciation for music he has with Hov. "I've been kicking since '98," Swizz said in an interview. "That's what I told Hova, 'We did it in '99, and we 'bout to do it in '09.' That's a blessing. I've been around...I like the album...He gotta say a lot. You know who to come through for the gutter [beats]. He just called me from London, spazzin'. Me and Jay, we're so much into the art of music, and we're great friends. This album, we happened to get into a little bit. That sh*t is super fun. We're still working." (MTV)
We need Illi to change the title to the Official BP3 thread.......

yeah because Jay-Z would let something that sounded like "vampire music" on the album.
better yet, the hell is vampire music anyway?

 

[red flag]

im bee sting, off the Riesling

and you guys are lucky. the first cut Rihanna had a much longer outro on this song but i guess they decided to shorten it.

'Cause everybody is in here stating their dislike of the use and how much Rihanna is on the track, when originally she had a much bigger partthan the final version
