This happened to a few people I knew on 9/11. I was supposed to be doing a job interview down the road from the Pentagon and saw the plane fly over when I was stuck in traffic. They called me and told me not to come and I bought this album on the way home right before the malls closed down for the next few days. It didn't save my life but I was sure glad I had it that week. The Hov/Nas beef kept things from getting straight up depressing during that time.

This album is like a greatest hits collection. Reasonable Doubt is more lyrically complex, but the replay value of The Blueprint is insane. Also, the production is one the best in hip-hop history. Kanye got a lot more fame because of his work here if i'm not mistaken. In conclusion, this is an absolute classic.

@NW7386 11 месяцев назад

This is the album that made everyone understand who Kanye really was. He did a lot of production for ppl at the time leading up to College Dropout but between Beanie Siegel's 'The Truth' and The Blueprint, this was the birth of the Kanye West we knew in the 2000s.

This is definitely a classic album. I had the extra benefit of this coming out my freshman year in college. It leaked like a week or two early, we all had access to high speed internet (probably for the first time in our lives), and we hit the file sharing apps heavy. So it was the soundtrack to my whole first semester. You picked the two songs that most people didn't like. I actually like Hola Hovito, but a lot of people didn't. We all agree that That Ni**a Jigga should've been left off the album. Idk if you plan on going through Jay's whole discography, but the You Don't Know remix with MOP on Blueprint 2? Just Blaze somehow managed to make that beat even better. Fun fact, RZA said You Don't Know was the one beat he wished he made himself. Also, Renegade was originally Eminem & Royce da 5'9". You might enjoying reacting to that. Em's verses don't change (besides when he mentions Jay at the end of the first verse), though

I was 17yrs old. Living in Harlem. NyC on the 5th floor of a building. I saw the smoke. I smelled the smell. This album was important asf. He already cemented his comeback after like 3yrs

Eminem was a producer on renegade as well and Jay's second verse on that song was outstanding. Nas is my favorite rapper but we all know he was exaggerating on the diss and it was an effective diss

Twinkle Toes is Prodigy. The ballerina. You have to listen to the “U Don’t Know remix” with M.O.P.

Bro I’m from Detroit too and when this came out it was super debated. When I was younger I thought Em got him but when I got older and listened to it I felt it was way closer than I thought. That second verse from Jay is my favorite verse from him on that track. This whole album such a classic. You right though I was never a big fan of Jigga that Nigga lmao Much respect lil bro I just discovered your channel but I’m fuckin wit it. #JoyRoad

I remember playing in fighting game tournaments in an arcade in PA when Renegade dropped. They had a juke box playing and for hours on end literally every other song was that one.

People cap when they say they don't know any JayZ songs, and if you don't means you too young and you probably wasn't around

Inmaculate reaction! I've seen this complete. I recommend you American Gangster, a lot will say Black Album and its amazing, but AG is like a movie with similarities to RD 11 years later.

@infamous_hnic6926 11 месяцев назад

Glad I subscribed to this channel bro! You got the most authentic reactions. If you wanna hear some copd Just Blaze beats, check out Jay's Hovi Baby and his Show Me Ehat You Got track. Blaze features some nasty drum work on his tracks
