I really don't need to hype this track up at all. The name Jay Z is in the title. Enjoy. That is all.

This is so big for Hip Hop for these 2 legends (2 rappers in my top 5 All Time as well) to come together after about 7 years of the song originally being recorded. This is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time, and I still get goosebumps sometimes when I hear Em rippin this shit.

NEW YORK - "Where amazing happens" doesn't just take place on the NBA courts - it also happens in Kanye West's studio. The Grammy winner says Jay-Z's long-percolating Blueprint 3 will be well worth the long wait the MC's fans have been enduring
"Jay is in control of everything in his domain," Kanye, the album's producer, said last week during a promotional visit for his book, "Thank You and You're Welcome."

"He's just been working on it, and it's gonna be amazing when he drops it. I think it's good he's taking his time to give people the best product possible and not being rushed by this fast-food, media-outlet, Internet, everything-is-getting-leaked, people-stealing your-songs-before-you-can-mix-them-and-put-them-online world we're living in right now."

Kanye revealed that he and Jay went back in and made some alterations to B3 since they first started.

"We actually removed all the songs with Auto-Tune off of his album," West said, "to make the point that this is an anti-Auto-Tune album, even though I released an album that has all Auto-Tune!

"It doesn't matter to me," Kanye laughed about Jay not wanting to incorporate the sound that is featured so heavily on Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak. "It's music; it's just sonics. I like Auto-Tune so I do it, but you want the other thing - like you'll wear a suit to a wedding and gym shoes to a basketball game. I think it's a perfect moment for Jay to provide some gym shoes to a basketball game right now."

No release date has been set for Blueprint 3, however, last week, Jay-Z secured his release from Def Jam Records, which will allow the album to come out on his own Roc Nation label, presumably in partnership with Rock Nation (although the specifics of that deal have not been confirmed). Meanwhile, Kanye has been in the studio, grabbing inspiration for his own next album.

Thank God for this. I honestly think that a Jay album with auto-tune could take what could of been a classic album and marked it with an ugly, hairy, chunky mole! Thank you Hov for having the artistic integrity to not use auto-tune just because everyone else is. The anticipation for Blueprint 3 has now increased that much more.

A breath of fresh air for many Hip Hop heads as this new compelling project features DJ Premier’s production alongside the incandescent flows of Jay-Z. Undisputedly, two of the greatest at what they do. The project will be entitled, “Premier Issue vol. 7: Hova Edition” and is set to release July 4th. Hip Hop is coming back to the music. Stay tuned for updates on this project.

This is the type of shit any true hip-hop fan wants, a Jay and Premo collabo once again!!! I am really excited to see if these 2 work on anything together again in the near future most notably for Blueprint 3. Even though Jay recorded this song on American Gangster already adding that Premo beat to it takes me back to how ill Reasonable Doubt was.
