I read about that on Billboard today. I loved the Blueprint but the second one was horrible. There's nothing that really connects the albums thematically so it seems gimmicky that he'll call this one Blueprint 3. I'll still have to keep an eye out for it this fall.

Dude just loves his trilogies, I guess (his second, third and fourth albums were all subtitled "Vol. 1", "Vol. 2" and "Vol. 3"). |

Man, hip-hop is really not good live. Those are two of the best out there and that wasn't all that great to watch. That said, I'm looking forward to Blueprint 3.

Jay-Z live at Radio City Music Hall was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I kid you not. Just the best. Fifty piece orchestra, making his entrance in a car, doing Reasonable Doubt in its entirely, etc. I wish they put out the DVD that they were talking about.
Tom.

Its not always the rappers fault that hip hop isn't good live. Very few venues and clubs will have live hip-hop and having it will increase a venues insurance rates. Also live entertaining to massive crowds isn't how a lot of artists come up, so its not necessarily something they are used to. I've seen some great rapper suck badly live, but often bad sound and a newness to being a live entertainer is at fault.
Kanye and Jay-Z both tour regularly and put a lot of effort into their live show and they are both real good live. Thats a new song and may not be the greatest song. Seeing a 2 minute video isn't something to judge a live act on.

It's my second time mentioning this on here (braggin' a little bit) but I just went to the Rock the Bells show in Chicago and everybody was pretty amazing. Well, everybody whose name isn't Mos Def. But that's just because he doesn't like to rap anymore. I think knowing the songs helps to enjoy live hip-hop.

Haha. I also posted mentioning seeing Rock the Bells in Mansfield, MA and I enjoyed everybody. Mos was probably the most disappointing to a lot of people there. I don't know about your show but he came out and basically crooned and only rapped over two tracks. He also wore a carpet over his head for the first 7 or 8 minutes. Here's the only good picture I could get of his carpet.  |

Anyone seen the cover for The Blueprint 3?  I was thinking it looked a little familiar:  |

The husband of a friend of mine is an Art Director for Jay-Z's label and was in London a few weeks ago supervising the shoot for the cover. It's hard to see from the image, but the red stripe is actually painted on the instruments, not overlayed on the photo. While it certainly looks like the Secret Machines cover, I still think its an arresting image and I look forward to the record.

Sorry, I don't get how those three stripes could have been painted on the actual instruments. They have a translucent quality like gels used for light coverings.

it's a little more obvious in higher resolution pictures of the cover:  it looks like the same principle as those cool sidewalk chalk art dealies:  you base it on one specific angle |

Yeah, you can see where that red line kind of indents slightly and follows the contours of the volume control panel for the amp on the left.

Anyone disgusted that Jay-Z on Leno's first night? Other than me, I mean?
