Jay-Z - Reminder
http://sharebee.com/15bfe7ef

Off That ain't bad but I ain't really feelin' Reminder at all. I have a bad feeling that BP3 will be closer to BP2 than BP1

Oh yeah, 10 Bricks >>>>>>>>>> Off That & Reminder

I think it's safe to say that Cuban Linx 2 > Blueprint 3

Raekwon - Catalina (produced by Dr. Dre)

House of Flying Daggers video:

The illest music video of the year, no doubt!

I'ma rank & rate all leaked Cuban Linx 2 joints cuz the Cuban Linx dynasty has emerged.

1. House of Flying Daggers 5/5 (the song of the year and the best Wu-song in years)
2. New Wu 5/5 (another Wu-classic! my 2nd fav track of the year)
3. 10 Bricks 4½/5 (Fish Pt.2! Dilla did his thing again)
4. Surgical Gloves snippet 4/5 (full version could be 4½/5)
5. Gihad 4/5 (grimy ass track but not as exciting as New Wu & HOFD)
6. Catalina 3½/5 (Dre fell off but Catalina is still above average)

So far, so good

HOFD video is funny yet very entertaining to watch.

I found 10 Bricks to be okay, but it might grow on me?

Is Catalina the only Dre track on CL2? If so, that is kinda of a let down

Reminder is mediocre, but that Joe Budden bar might blow up

^ Nah, 'About Me' was produced by Dre as well.

Edit: This video was shot before Blueprint 3 tracklist was officially released so the last question was about the rumored one

Jay-Z In XXL Oct 09

Quote

CRITICISM OF “D.O.A.”:  “I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”

HIS LEGACY AS FORMER DEF JAM RECORDS PRESIDENT:  “So if you ask me to grade my performance as the president, I’d say A-plus. No one can bat a 100. It’s impossible. I mean, everyone is looking at my shit. But if we really looked under the hood [of] every single [record exec] and the acts they put out in that time, I’d be comparable to anyone.”

HIS STANDING IN THE GAME:  “But when I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that… I believe in a lot of things.  I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more  No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”

Drake - Forever (Ft. Lil Wayne, Eminem & Kanye West)

There should a rule, feature Eminem on your song if you can keep up with his beast mode.
