what's wrong with BP3 being a poppy album? music is music. Are people here not allowed to listen to music outside of rap or something? Jay-Z is a sell-out, yeah like it's some news

yeah that's right. If a rapper put out a pop music what's the problem? I hear Rap cuz i like it more than others kind of music but if the pop music of this rapper is dope, that is ok i wanna hear good music rap o not rap and this is the same for all people.

Jay-Z intended to make a rap album, not a pop album, jay-z is a rapper. Blueprint 3 is a RAP ALBUM, despite how many poppy hooks there are.

Therefore I can judge on his rapping ability and I expect good rapping technically.

Anyway, the music on BP3 isnt even good. All the singles got overplayed and made me wanna fucking stab my ears. Run This Town is horrible, as is Young Forever. State of Mind was good after 5 listens. Chorus being the only listenable part.

Jay obviously INTENTED to make it a pop/rap album, he knows what he's doing. And he rapped on it, it's not like he was singing. I understand that rap has some standard for 'lyrical' and stuff but normal listeners (like me) don't go counting how many multi were used in a verse while listening to a song.

That's what I've been trying to say, so it makes it a rap album. BP3 is a rap album. Yes, it has pop chorus's and beats but so do Eminem albums but it's still rap ffs.

I dont fuckin' count multi's but if someone isnt rapping on the beat or the flow is completely off it doesnt make the music nice to listen to. Flow is part of GOOD MUSIC! Lyrics are also part of good music - and he's rappign about fuckin' money on next to every song. (And dont bring Relapse into this bit, becuase this is now a discusion about BP3)

You all act like good music is JUST about chorus's and the beats when there are plenty of other features that contribute to good music, in every genre, but especially in rap.

^ skull fuck bro, skull fuck.

What the ?

[Satire]

Regardless of what anyone considers good music, lyricism, content, technical rap achievements, etc. Blueprint 3 was shit in all of these categories, and was just a shitty album altogether.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

^ skull fuck bro, skull fuck.

Same thing. A cock socket is a cock socket. I prefer a good throat fuck where she vomits.

@Amadeo, i think they were pretty even on quality and satisfaction for me. Jay came with it less, but yet had a better sounding album.. Whilst Em fucked shit up with the lyrics, he couldn't put a replayable tune together..

Lol BP3 was a pathetic effort. Horrible beats, boring raps, delivey pathetic, flow atrocious, and the content was all "im the best, I have money". You can say Relapse was all serial killer material but it was creative the way he went about it, and the songs were varied.

Blueprint 3 had literally no play-back ability, I've heard that kind of rap album hundreds of time and it gets boring after one listen.

Relapse is an aquired taste, admittely, but BP3 was absolutely pathetic. At least Em was on point flow and rhyme wise. All Jay had was catchy hooks.

When a RAPPER (this is an important word - they're job is to rap, which includes flow, rhyme technique and content) makes an album which include's no good techniques that a rapper should possess, people who like the album will straight away say "but it's good music".

You have to have a mixture (rapping ability/good music) and Jay raps for a living so he should have some basic flow that doesnt sound like an amateur which it does. His flow on Young Forever is just horrific.

Relapse, to me, is technically brilliant and has good music on it, bar a few tracks.

Also, technical ability usually makes for good music. Jay rapping off the beat, like on Young Forever, makes the music SOUND bad.

Wow.. then we have different tastes..

Jay brought some unbelievable flows on BP3. Relapse had the flow and lyrics, but i'd argue that as an album it wasn't creative IN THE SLIGHTEST. It was a show of multies and Dre's production, but there was no originality or punchlines at all. BP3 sounds different every song, therefore has enough variation to become more replayable. Relapse merges in to one, and if you're not in the mood for that shit, you end up being bored of the whole album.

Reminder, Hater>>> most of Relapse, but they're still even to me

[embm]

awsom cant w8

[Hiphopdane]

It doesn't necessarily have to the greatest of the lot that should be on Recovery. I want people on it that bring something different to what Em brings. It could be different flow, style of rhyming, a charismatic voice etc.

B.o.b
Snoop dogg
Dr. Dre
Common

A female non-hip hop musician singing the chorus would be awesome.

When thinking about it; it's about time that Nas and Eminem do a song together.

Relapse didnt have punchlines, I'll admit that, but I meant creative in it's concepts. BP3 sounded like so many rap albums Ive heard before, Relapse had something I'd never heard before, in taking on the role of the serial killer. I found it fascinating. The writing of songs like Stay Wide Awake is just incredible.

See, I think the opposite. I find BP3 merges into one. Delivery-wise it all sounds identical to me. Relapse may have had less variety than pervious albums of Em but it still had enough to keep me entertained. Going from Deja Vu to Stay Wide Awake to Medicine Ball to Beautiful to My Mom. All different style of track. Less depth than previous albums but depth was still there.

Reminder, Hater>>> most of Relapse, but they're still even to me

I wont seriously respond to this becuase it's personal taste but the writing of Stay Wide Awake >>> writing of any BP3 track.

[RealSickLindley]

to see relapse's creativity you gotta read along with the lyrics and understand half the shit

Understand the different way he cut up a different girl?

Don't be silly.

Like i said, i like relapse, and it's brilliant in its vocab, multies and flow.. But it's not original or creative.. It was just him rhymin'.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Sure it was creative. It's like a cheesy slasher flick set to music.
