CD Review – ‘The Blueprint 3’ by Jay-Z

The third and final chapter of Jay-Z‘s Blueprint series, “The Blueprint 3” shows off the rapper’s raw ambition and drive to top charts. The beats are mellow, and Jay-Z’s rhymes are more raw and genius than ever.

“The Blueprint 3” features popular songs like “Empire State of Mind” and “On to the Next One,” which have already become crowd favorites.

With compilations featuring Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Rihanna and Young Jeezy, “The Blueprint 3” offers a great variety of talent.

Rather than rapping about “big pimpin’,” Jay-Z focuses more on success and living the good life. His swag and confidence in his rhymes make it difficult to turn off the album once it starts playing.
