The Blueprint 3: Sadly, the Reviews Are In... Long Before They Could Possibly Be Meaningful

I ain't gonna lie: there's a bit of Blueprint 3 fever going around L Magazine headquarters right now. I jumped on the leak yesterday afternoon the same way everyone else did, and now I'm listening to it over and over again so that in the not too distant future I can form, and maybe even share, an opinion of it that I will be happy to stand by for all of eternity. I'm doing this because it is my job and I believe it is important.

And I am happy to report that Urban Daily writer Casey Gane-McCalla feels exactly the same way. If he didn't, he wouldn't have taken a whole 18 hours to decide the record was deserving of not a 6.3 or a 6.5, but exactly a 6.4, right? And this dude from the Taunton Gazette (no idea), who has already come to the conclusion that The Blueprint 3 is either the "third- or fourth-best" Jay-Z album? He is right there with me as well.

Don't worry, you guys: The record will still exist tomorrow, sitting right there on your computer where you left it. Probably the next day, too, and maybe even for a few weeks after that. If you wait until then to figure out what you think of it, no one who matters even a little bit will think any less of you.

Wow I'd totally care about Jay Z if it was 1997. You're dissing Noel? Dude get a grip... first off Noel is a SONGWRITER... Jay Z writes, AT MOST, lyrics.... and the last time he made a "good" rap album was 1997. Just cuz you live on that shitty little faggot island you call england doesn't mean you get to be as clueless as all the other crooked teeth having mother fuckers that populate that shitty place... WAKE UP! Your BLOG is a joke. You are a JOKE. And OASIS is 10 MILLION TIMES better than the idiot known as JAY Z. More like GAY Z. WOOOOO NUKED.

By the way it took me 10 times to post this blog... so it's not the lack of hits you're getting that make up for your lack of comments it's the fact that your blog is GHETTO! Step into the 90's dicklicker. Fuck man, took me 20 minutes to tell you that you were a shirtlifter. Wake up! Time to party and enter the year of 2009. DORK! By the way, you're one of the biggest pussies on the net. And don't reply here cuz I won't read it... never coming back to your little faggot den on the net... won't see it. WOOOOO NUKED AGAIN! You're a pussy and so is Jay Z and everyone involved in hip hop in 2009. Ten years after the due date.... NERDS!

I think we found where Noel's aggression disappeared to.
