* The Official Jay-Z: Blueprint 3 Post [3rd single: Empire State Of Mind]

[incredibleev]

Venus vs Mars is smoooooooooooth, these grown and sexy timbo beats are growing on me

 

[ultralightbeam]

Overall, I am incredibly disappointed with Tim on these beats. Dude usually goes into hiatus and comes back vicious with some new stuff.

 

[thekillerj23]

Venus vs Mars is okay but nothing special and I can't stand the beat or hook but lyrics are good.

You can also blame Jay for picking the beats though, they're not terribly bad just not up to par with other Timbo/Jay stuff. He's probablysaving all the good stuff for Timberlake

 

[mcflyyy]

i was watching fade to black last night and i tuned in right when jay and tim were in the studio.. all i have to say is smh. how times have changed...

 

[illionaire]

There's a possibility more Jay/Tim songs were recorded but will probably be used for another project. He's probably keeping the good ones for"Shock Value 2?" Who really knows.

 

[TYE_The Time Traveler]

I have a feeling that Jay will be on one song in Shock Value 2 and that song will be better then the three songs Timbo and J-Roc produced for BP3. Venus Vs.Mars is crazy the breakdown actually made me go

.

 

[brownin187]

Feelin Venus v. Mars more than Off That and D.O.A.

 

[Jordan8]

dang wasnt tim suppose to do the whole album at one time?

 

[cjgenius368]

just playing it back -

"Shawty from the South; Oh... I think she like me..."

delivery on that was just

 

[infyrno23]

Venus vs Mars > anything thats leaked so far
and thats Cassie on the hook.

Idk about everyone else, but hearing more of the songs and putting together some songs that arent on BP3 (BK Go hard, Brooklyn, Jockin Jayz etc)
it is making me want this album more...

we !*#%$ too much, Off That is pretty hot, and Reminder is dope (the hook is the only issue, but its nit picking)
ill wait to judge the beats when i get the album and put it in the whip.


This is reminding me of Jay making fun music again.... like im not sensing a direct mold or theme for this album, just making some fun good tracks, likeBP2....

IMO
DOA = 3.5
Run this Town = 4
Reminder = 3.75
Off That = 3.5
Venus vs Mars = 4.5

take the tracks for what they worth, they are miles better than anything out, and dude is going on with the flow/lyrics etc....

imagine the NT hate if jay had picked the first beat that Ludacris got or the one Brandy i think got

All in the selection

 

[awwsome]

DOA = 4
Run this Town = 4
Reminder = 3
Off That = 2
Venus vs Mars = 4.5

 

[lb81986]

Jay's whole theme for this album since day 1 has to use bangin' productions that stand out for the 2009 audience. Music that'll seriously have yahead nodding (pause) I'm talkin' heavy drums, obscure instrumentation, aggresive beats. Regardless if you like the leaked songs, you have to admit thebeats all bang. Look back at the promo singles "Jockin' Jay-Z" & "Brooklyn Go Hard". I'm not surprised so many Timbo beats madethe cut, nor surprised him and Timbo supposedly made an album worth of songs, since Timbaland is pretty much the originator of this production style. Onlything I'm worried about is rappers tend to not be as lyrical on these type songs unless your flow is

(see "Hovi Baby")...so we'll see if 2009 Jay-Z has that in him.

 

[olvera23]

ehhh. Not really feelin Venus vs. Mars....I have yet to hear a track that's impressed me.

 

[dabossa]

I hope he has another verse on Venus Vs. Mars because that song is short. But without a doubt the best song that has leaked.

 

[the warehouse 13]

I'm liking Venus vs. Mars. Mad at myself for listening to all of these leaks before buying the actual cd. I just found Blueprint Reconstructed and gonnarock with this until release date. You guys should check it out.

 

[bh23enry]

I can't wait til dis album comes out. I knw HOV go do his thing....

 

[hiphopdoc09]

Does anybody recall a while back when kanye said he made one of the greatest beats of all time for BP3...........I wonder which one it is?

Uh, how much hip-hop have you listened to this year? Slaughterhouse album? Escape Route? Relapse? AZ? There are Fabolous songs I'd rather listen to thansome of this. Not saying that those albums are better as whole, but they have tracks that are better than some of these Jay tracks ...

 

[delete1234]

jay z like...."%+! drake...i put you on my cd but you aint put me on the forever remix...."

Hope you're right. I hope I mysteriously fall in love with the album once I hear it in full ...

Relapse... No
Slaughterhouse... eh
Escape Route... .no
Fabolous... HELL NO absolutely hell no

Ok maybe not Miles better... but its better than 90%, give or take a few tracks from some artist

 

[mcflyyy]

after further review, venus vs. mars is boring and pretty wack. let's hope ye and no i.d. save this one.

 

[the fresh king]

Not liking Venus vs. Mars at all... Boring, repeative, annoying..
*Shocked* @ NT feeling it.

"Off That" > Venus vs. Mars.
