Dec 14, 2022What a great album, many under appreciated songs that deserve more plays on. Personal favorite would be "Heart of the City" you can defiantly hear the early soul beat made by Kanye West in it.

Feb 28, 2020now whose the king of the rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
who could inherit the title put the youth in histerics
using his music to share it sharing his views and his merits]maybe its hatred i spew maybe its food for the spirit -
Feb 23, 2020Really good album, the lyrics are on point and even tough the production is not one of my favorites, this record still one of the best albums made by Jay. Awesome

Jan 18, 2020A technical display of near-perfection by one of the greatest to ever hold a mic. Refreshing, soul-centric beats by Kanye and electric Timbaland cuts. Sonically and lyrically a charismatic and captivating breath of fresh air. A true hip-hop classic and one of the best records of the early 2000s.

Feb 16, 2019The Blueprint by Jay Z has made one of the best albums in his career. I love the production that he was going for, the beats are dope, and all the songs are on fire, especially that one song Renegade ft. Eminem is one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. The Blueprint is an instant classic from Jay-Z. I highly recommended it.

Jul 1, 2017Arguably JAY's best and one of the genre's greatests albums. An electrifing and diverse track list that was a different sound then mainstream hip hop of the time. JAY delivers smooth bars ontop of crisp beats produced by Just Blaze, Timberland and Kanye West.
-
Jan 20, 2017A masterpiece. Production on point, Jay Z exploring his skills to the fullest. Undoubtedly an all-time classic, hands down. Arguably the best album of 2001
-
Jan 9, 2016The best album by Jay-Z. The best album of the noughties. Every track is great, but my favourite: 'Heartf of The City', 'Hola Hovito', 'U Don't Know', and 'Never Change'.
-
Apr 24, 2015A hip-hop masterpiece, with Hova still eating the mic and Kanye joining Tim on the production, every single song sounds like a hit. Izzo, Heart of the city and Renegade (with Em's incredible verses) are arguably the album's best songs.

Mar 20, 2013Shawn Carter's 6th studio album, "The Blueprint", is the greatest hip hop album of the 21st century. And is a tough competitor for the best in any genre. You get every bit of Jay Z. His confidence, joy, and vulnerability. This album includes great production by newcomers Kanye West & Just Blaze. Every song is either a hit or very strong. One of Hip Hop's essentials.
-
Nov 3, 2012truly a great album with some of the best on it like q tip and legendary producer just blaze made an all time classic! my 2nd favourite jay z album ever!
-
Aug 13, 2012Arguably Jay's best piece of work. Both the lyrics and the beats are top-notch. This album redefined the boundaries of rap and brought forth the new era of rap where soul-sampling became very heavy.

Nov 9, 2011One of the few real classic in the genre of hip hop. Came out on 9/11 2001 and still went number one on Billboard. Musically very different and it ushered a new era of soul sampling in hip hop, thanks to the production from Kanye West, Just Blaze, Eminem a more.

The Bed-Stuy boy musters up enough of his own charisma, charm and wit to build another solid release.
-
A fully realized masterpiece.
-
It's not radically new - although the Timbaland and the Trackmasters contributions are genuinely exciting - but it's exactly what a lot of people want to hear from a hip-hop album right now.
