It’s a good album 7/10

nah

one of the worst albums ever

this album still sucks but i remember really liking this song

Bottom 2 jay album with MCHG. 6/10 at best

it’s calm if you grew up with it but that’s a terrible album man and hov top 2 ever to me

both horrible

How much they hate it? Very. Kiss girls like Katy Perry. I am never sprung but I spring her- Jerry.

Also a terrible album

Cole, Kanye, and Alicia Keys renegaded the album tbh

I always loved MCHG for what it was , really fun album

It’s one of those records that’s was poppin in it’s time but didn’t age well (yes I know KTT nerds don’t understand the concept of not aging well, or y’all just play stupid)

But when it dropped it was all over, album full of hits, like huge hits fr fr, not his best but acting like it’s trash it’s some feeling intellectual nerd s*** that watch fantano reviews too much

The Blueprint 3 and MCHG

Haters mad

1. What We Talkin’ About ft. Luke Steele - pretty good intro and I like the beat a lot

2. Thank You - the last verse of this song is crazy

3. D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) - at the time this song had quite an impact

4. Run This Town ft. Rihanna & Kanye West - classic song

5. Empire State of Mind ft. Alicia Keys - classic song

6. Real As It Gets ft. Young Jeezy - not a bad song but not something I go back to often

7. On To The Next One ft. Swizz Beatz - classic and I love the sample so I might be bias

8. Off That - did not age well but it's cool to hear young drake

9. A Star Is Born ft. J Cole - the beat did not hold up for me but cool hearing J Cole's first major album verse

10. Venus vs. Mars - still a good song

11. Already Home ft. Kid Cudi - still a great song minus the I'm a mammal line

12. Hate - not their best effort but the pew pew pew part is funny

13. Reminder - skip

14. So Ambitious ft. Pharrell Williams - not my fave

15. Young Forever ft. Mr. Hudson - annoying but classic chorus

So I don't think you can call it a classic but it has good songs that still hold up for sure

The highs were high

The lows were low

All of the singles were smashes

This and Man on the Moon 1 leaked on the same day I still remember that night

Maybe it’s because I was a kid but I run songs off this back all the time.

American gangster/BP3/WTT quietly a hard ass run. Even more impressive when u remember that’s kinda the era Jay z became the guy even your grandma knows

Blueprint 3 is about as much of a "classic" as Views: Iconic singles but an overall meh album that doesn't measure up to actual classics.

Can't be rewriting history like this.

Exactly. 09-13 was the dark ages for Hov.

Blueprint 3 had overproduced beats and no type of flow on the whole album.

And MCHG was carried by production, had vapid content, and the worst rapping in Jay-Z's whole career.

Hov was trying to be like Kanye with the whole artsy wave but it didn't come off natural for him at all.

Forever young his worst song and ill die on that hill

Kingdom Come & BP3 he sounds so off

Thank god for AG & WTT

What's worse is this album has garbage sound quality

True

Oceans one of his best songs ever n Beach is Better is one of the best Interludes (should have been a full song) ever tho so at least we got that
