R&N 1/23/09 - Jay-Z Talks Blueprint 3

Following Up A Classic!



Jay-Z has been busy at work on the Blueprint 3 album, while headlining inauguration festivities and all of the other duties that make him one of the biggest music moguls on the planet. Jay-Z states:

For me, the process of making an album is difficult with so many things going on," he told MTV. "And me, I wanna make it beyond and above. I'm gonna take my time with it. I don't have any quotas, and that's a good thing. It may be too freeing. It's a good thing and a bad thing. You know, I think I need some restrictions. 'Cause if I had restrictions, I would have done it in three weeks. I would have made what I believe to be a great piece of art."

Jay-Z also discussed Kanye's involvement with the album to MTV:

"He wanted to do a few more joints, so he kinda pushed it back. Now we're gonna go in and just work on some more records. So I got some more stuff to kill it with! I think [Jay pushed the album back because] 'Swagger' just did so incredible. We wanted to go up [and make sure] everything was on that level."

I hope Jay can follow up the classic that was American Gangster, but I have a feeling that this will be another Kingdom Come, but we will see. 2009 will be a big year if the scheduled albums from Jay, Dre, Em, and 50 will actually be released any time soon.

Whats good fam,

In light of the craziness that has been the DMV for last week (OBAMA...OBAMA...OBAMA!) I was looking for something to cool out to...that effort led me to this little gem. One of Tye Tribbet lesser know hits..."Superstar" puts you right in the spirit and gives you that soul at the same time...Enjoy!
