Because he lacks class ( more controversy, more albums sold ). Regardless of his talent. A La Kanye West and 50 cent "retirement match" album dual they had awhile ago.
I found that the other day too. Tried to pull the songs besides, the singles on the radio and none worked. I'm copin that fa sho do! lol
He released "The Blueprint" on September 11, 2001. "He lacks class" - HA. So he is continuing the tradition... That said, the OP has the wrong tracklisting... this is the correct one. 1. What We Talkin’ About (Feat. Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun) (Produced By Kanye West and No I.D.) 2. Thank You (Produced By Kanye West and No I.D.) 3. D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” (Produced By No I.D.) 4. Run This Town (Feat. Kanye West and Rihanna) (Produced By Kanye West & No I.D.) 5. Empire State of Mind (Feat. Alicia Keys) (Produced By Al Shux) 6. Real as It Gets” (Feat. Young Jeezy) (Produced By The Inkredibles) 7. On to the Next One (Feat. Swizz Beatz) (Produced By Swizz Beatz) 8. Off That (Feat. Drake) (Produced By Timbaland) 9. A Star is Born (Feat. J. Cole) (Produced By Kanye West and No I.D.) 10. Venus vs. Mars (Produced By Timbaland) 11. Already Home (Feat. Kid Cudi) (Produced By Kanye West) 12. Hate (Feat. Kanye West) (Produced By Kanye West) 13. Reminder (Produced By Timbaland) 14. So Ambitious (Feat. Pharrell) (Produced By The Neptunes) 15. Young Forever (Feat. Mr Hudson) (Produced By Kanye West) Check out these songs from Jay-Z. Can I Live American Dreamin' D'Evils Where I'm From Intro ("The Dynasty") Allure
i've heard about 5 songs. off that, reminder, venus v. mars are all very mediocre. i also heard ghetto techno, which isn't on the album, and thank god for that (it's arguably one of the worst songs jay has ever done). thank god run this town is decent and is doing well on the charts, b/c the album doesn't look too good so far.
"Hate" and "Thank You" leaked too. Kanye and No ID's production is better than Timbalands but it still doesn't live up to what I expected. It sounds like he is trying to fit in and not being innovative which he has done in the past.
i'm about to listen to the whole album when i get back from work. i'll give more of my opinion then. i've heard empire state of mind w/ ms. keys is fire though.
I'll buy Blueprint and I'm looking forward listening to it. But... I'm mostly happy due to Kid Cudi's new album Man on the Moon and Lasers from Lupe Fiasco. btw, THE GAME heavily dissed Jay Z on his song I'm so Wavy, he had some bad bad bad punches
Although I feel like I'm in a minority here, I really like the album... Obviously Run This Town is great, and Kanye does a great job on that track. As mentioned before Empire State of Mind is also great. It's obvious the Kanye beats are better than the Timbo beats, but that's just me. I hear you can download it off RapidShare
