[edit] Hmm

I swear to anything this is the most fucking overrated album ever. I seen reviews for this piece of shit giving it damn near a 9 of 10, calling it a 'classic'. Are you fucking crazy? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! Only good songs on this album are: "Heart of the City", "All I Need", "Breathe Easy", "U Don't Know" was good til I heard it on the radio 6,000 times, and Eminem makes a mockery of him on "Renagade". THE REST OF THE TRACKS ARE MAINLY JUST COMMERCIAL GARBAGE. Also, don't think I'm just a "Jay-Z hater" or biased, cause Reasonable Doubt is on my top 10 list. But The Blueprint is seriously one of his worst albums. It's not even the best album of 2001 because Sticky Fingaz' "Black Trash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones" came out the same year and it shits all over this album, as does "Stillmatic". They got the nerve to bash Nas' "It Was Written" yet praise this? What a fucking joke.--Tainted Drifter 08:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

you just like to rave, no? BP's an easy 5 stars, Stillmatic maybe a 3. it only gets good reviews because of the anti-"commercial" obsession of adolescent hip-hop fans who like to view themselves as above the rap-listening masses. it got the medicore reviews it deserved from the main music critics' outlets.

Stillmatic is quite possibly the most blatant "I'm gonna be whatever my hardcore fans want" play i've heard. a cheap Illmatic knockoff -- at least that sounds genuine, probably cuz he _actually lived in_ the projects then. at least Jay had enough artistic confidence to mix his new persona with some more reflective material, and not cave in to all the whining about how he needed to make another album exactly like Reasonable Doubt (which isn't as good as this anyway) 134.69.166.175 08:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slow down

Sticky Fingaz' album was as nice as a pair of cancerous testicles. Also, someone seems to insist on renaming Kanye West as "Kangay" West. I'll make the corrections. -cl

[edit] ?

Nice as a pair of cancerous testicles? You must be a faggot if you mean that comment. That album is creative, intelligent, and classic. Also, you might as well keep his name as "Kangay", fits him much better, (though I'm not the one who "vandalized" his name as that, for all you wikipedia extremist rule abiding tattletale bitches.)--Tainted Drifter 05:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

ooh, he's BADASS 134.69.166.175 08:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

what's the deal with "Kangay" anyway? you mad cuz he has more production talent in his left nut than all of Nas's producers combined? and he doesn't fake humility? 134.69.166.175 23:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
