"i'm probably going to end up bumping Asher's album a lot"

"this album is basura (maybe you said garbo) not worth listening to... sucks" (or something along those lines lol...)

Unless you somehow think that album is totally balls and don't like it but still bump it a lot or did after release :?

Run This Town

Kanye had a chance to kill Hov on a track FINALLY but he didnt take the oppurtunity.. Still wont predict what the albums gonna sound like but this is coo.. Especially the first verse IMO

Lol at Kanye and Rihanna having anything to do with New York.

Song is okay though, still don't expect much from BP3.

Jay-Z[click to read] recently spoke to Reuters about his upcoming album, Blueprint 3. Having gone months in virtual secrecy, he finally revealed some of the features on the long-awaited project.

Jay divulged to Reuters that the CD will see appearances by Rihanna, Kid Cudi, Drake, Mr. Hudson, MGMT, and Kanye West. 'Ye will also join No I.D. [click to read] and Timbaland on the bulk of the production work.

Although Hov recently dropped the somewhat controversial "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)," the song is not considered to be the album's first single. According to SOHH.com, the official first single off of Blueprint 3 was originally confirmed by DJ Skee to be Jay's collaboration with newcomer Drake. However, Jay recently decided to swap that track for his joint collaboration with Kanye West and Rihanna, titled "Run This Town." The single is reportedly hitting airwaves on July 24.

Blueprint 3 will release on September 11, exactly eight years after the first Blueprint released.kobegill

OMG ... I've been saying this would be Jay's worst album for some time now, but this looks at least twice as bad as I could have ever expected.

As for this single, though ... it's okay. Nothing I could picture myself listening to a whole lot, and definetely not something I'd see myself listening to in ten years, but it's ... I dunno, okay. Here's how I'd rank the elements of the song, from best to worst:

1. The beat (guess Kanye still has some good beats left in him)
2. Rihanna's vocalizing in the post-chorus (very effective)
3. Kanye's verse (nothing amazing, but okay ... I can't help but feel that some gutter-*** dude with a gravely voice (or at least Young Jeezy) would have lent this song the street cred that it needed to balance things out ... but I guess we'll have to settle for Kanye rapping about mood rings. Whatever.
4. Rihanna's hook ... she should stick to vocalizing or hooks like "Live Your Life" where she just says one thing over and over ... drawn out hooks like this really spotlight how painful it is to hear Rihanna sing words.
5. Some truly forgettable Jay-Z verses ... I mean, he really sounded like he was phoning this one in.
