Jay-Z was on Hot 97 in New York a last night and leaked D.O.A. (Death of Autotune). Where he addresses the talent level of certain artists who hide behind anything that disguises their lack of talent--i.e. voice-synthesizers. Goodbye. Na na na naa...
Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)
"This sh!t violent, this death of autotune, moment of silence..."(c)jay-z
The Blueprint is my favourite album period [hence the wallpaper]. A lot of people can't label an album their favourite, but I will defend this album in it's entirety. Everything from vintage Jigga flow to on-point production to Eminem at his best. This album has it all...
Anyways, The Blueprint 3 is dropping this year on September 11th, 2009 the same day Blueprint [1] was dropped. It's a follow up to the 'back-to-basics' American Gangster album in 2007. That album surprised me man. It came out of nowhere and had the Reasonable Doubt swagger turned on--content wise I mean, he brought feelings and emotion from his drug-dealing days...
Jay is my fave rapper [duurr]. D.O.A. is like the street single much like Kanye's Can't Tell Me Nothing. Just a taste before the main course. His real single is called Off That featuring the bearer-of-the-torch himself Drizzy Drake. As I re-tweet DJ Skee:
RT @djskee D.O.A. is the street track.. Oh..the official OFFICIAL Jay radio single will be called "Off That" and feature DRAKE.. Coming JulyCannot wait at all. First Relapse then Thank Me Later; 2009 is the revival of my excitement in hip-hop.
I'm out like The Blueprint 3 in September 09...
reasonable doubt > blueprint
ReplyDeletebut i gotta say it is up there..
its easy to say every (pre-mixtape-era) rapper's 1st albums are their best, cuz its basically the album they've been constructing all their lives... reasonable doubt's rawness, lyrics, content and flow are arguably ALL better than blueprint..as a jay fan its def in my top 5
ReplyDeleteimo blueprint is my top... one; i grew up with it, as in its one of those records that got me on hip-hop big time... two; after releasing 5 albums its hard to bring something as relevant as blueprint, alotta artists die after 5... three; bp's production > any jay album, rd and black album are really close--its a stretch but ill back it.. etc
point is, i stand by this album lol...its all in my opinion anyways
