Hov's Blueprint Trilogy Is Here!

Well the release we've all been waiting for is finally here! Fortunately, I've had this album for about a week now, but my critique is that, all in all, it's a solid album. From beginning to end Hov tells us how he feels about the game, his life, and the future. My personal favorites are Thank You, Empire State Of Mind, Real As It Gets, Star Is Born, & Haters. I can listen to the whole album all the way through, but of course I skip the overplayed DOA & Run This Town. A lot of bloggers & critics have been hating on Jay-z because he isn't the same as he was back in the Black Album or Blueprint days. However, he says it best on the Swizz Beatz joint, "If you want the old Jay-z buy my old albums!" I like the new Hov and I still hear the old Hov on the tracks I listed as my favorites. The lyrics, wordplay, delivery, & swag are all there.
