Jay-Z - The Blueprint 2: The Gift And The Curse (2CD)

※ Download: Torrent jay z blueprint 2

The rapper-turned-president didn't take his job lightly, either, at least judging by his initial year at the helm. Truly, Carter's vision of the streets had to stretch out over two discs, if only to handle the spectrum of influence he's drawn from and continues to create. But fuck you and fuck me for saying it.

He retained a strongly devoted fan base and challenged whatever rivals attempted to oust him from atop the rap game, sparring most memorably with Nas. The album is also famous for its producer Kanye West's big breakout as a major producer. Although the Tupac-flavored ambient keyboard beats aren't quite as sharp as they could be, and the uncharacteristically pedestrian Timbaland collaborations disappoint, they do offer a solid pace to the album to that virtually all other doubles lack.

Jay-Z - The Blueprint 2: The Gift And The Curse (2CD) - Jay Z and his Roc-a-Fella associates greatly influenced the industry and established many of the trends that pervaded during the late '90s and early 2000s. Y'all fell into the booby trap I set the trap just to see dude react, and now And now you'se can't leave You opened the door god, I'm at you annually And I'm sorry Miss Rosie Perez I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is But you can't give cred to anything dude says Same dude to give you ice and you owe him some head Shortyyyy!

The blueprint album can mean a number of things for an artist. For the Wu-Tang Clan and Michael Jackson, it led to exponential career declines. For Biggie and Tupac, it led to grisly deaths. On his mid-to-late 90s Volume trilogy, Jay had steadily lost track of his confident street corner philosophy, but a series of battles led him to re-evaluate his career, jay in the landmark album of his career: the prequel to this two-disc blowout was an inarguable masterwork of beautiful soul-struck production and serrated bling 'n' sting street rhymes sharp enough to eclipse even the heralded, barbs on 1996's world-memorized classic Reasonable Doubt. There's no deep concept or surrounding purpose behind this record: it's just pure confidence. He begins with the family that created a thug and slowly shifts into the life that thug creates for himself as a result of his fractured upbringing. It's a tale of death, parental absence and drug dealing that spirals into a face-off between father and son, spun into a metaphor for the intense need for a solid patriarchal bond. As a premier rapper in the torrent spotlight, Carter's got a way of leveling his albums out with a wide variety of beats. Although the Tupac-flavored ambient keyboard beats aren't quite as sharp as they could be, and the uncharacteristically pedestrian Timbaland collaborations disappoint, they do offer a solid pace to the album to that virtually all other doubles lack. And pace is one of many jay that Blueprint 2. Released six months after The Gift and the Curse as a sampling of some of the album's more seemingly intriguing tracks and chart hits, it was a transparent ploy to bank on increased record sales and create the illusion of cost-effectivity, when, in fact, Blueprint 2. It's bad enough that its two bonus tracks aren't even worth talking about, but it omits nearly half the standouts from the original, leaving as many as eight stronger tracks out in lieu of lesser collaborations with dollar-winning names. So, for the classic bloated double-album prototype, the filler helps more than it hinders, as evidenced by the spectacular failure of the condensed version. Truly, Carter's vision of the streets had to stretch out over two discs, if only to handle the spectrum of influence he's drawn from and continues to create. With his final set, The Black Album, due next month under the tutelage of The Neptunes, Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Kanye, Lil' Jon and torrent others, all eyes are on Hov, hoping for-- and rightfully expecting-- a blueprint last salvo to bookend his perfect debut. The Blueprint 2 may be less than filler-free, but it stands regardless as a testament to Jay-Z's mastery of the written and spoken word: the fortifying teaser to a pay-per-view-worthy finale.
