The Blueprint 3

The cover's got three red lines.

Oh, that's Blueprint 3.

Yeah.

I think from then is when I started

That song.

On to the next one.

Yeah, the Blueprint 3, 2009.

Yeah.

17 years ago for those hip hop fans are out there.

Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3.

That actually came out.

This is all today.

I just don't know.

I mean, you know, already home was on Blueprint 3 and things of that sort.

I just think his catalog is extensive, but the history of it is probably well aged, right? It's like a 45-day-old steak.

It's dry.

Oh, tickets still available to go to.

Yeah, tickets still available.

Shit, the Blueprint 3? I mean, the Blueprint 2? Yeah,

the nigga, nah, the nigga didn't sell out France.

Joint I hate it.

I'm going to go with Jay-Z and Drake off that from the Blueprint 3.

Um, you know, so, so, so this is like when Drake first came out, I was, I was on vacation for this, for when Drake first came out and you know, the whole craze, he got successful.

He got the best I ever had and even an overdraft during that time.

But the highs were high, were very high.

And it made sense.

But the Blueprint 3 was like, yo, bro, like, I don't

know.

it.

Kingdom Come, Magna Carta, Blueprint 3, that's the bottom of the bottom.

That's the bottom of the bottom.

And even 444, if you want to get real wound up with it, that's the most like, I've been in therapy seven months, I think I'm cured kind of album that has ever existed.

Like, Beyonce's the later years of...

Beyonce is, like, the Blueprint 3 is when they really started making, like, hits together for real, for real.

Yeah,

I've seen it all.

We gonna run this town tonight.

That's Rihanna.

That's Rihanna? You sure that's not on Blueprint 3?

No, it's Rihanna though.

It was a little gem I got called Ghetto Techno.

I believe it was something that didn't make the Blueprint 3 album,

but I just

got it offline.

Besides 2009's the only one where I can see you can make an argument because Empire State of Mind the song went number one.

Blueprint 3 was one of the best-selling albums that year as well, besides Eminem's Relapse.

You could do Drake's...

Or no, 2009 he didn't release Thank Me Later.

So at that moment, I was just relieved, relieved that I landed the ship, you know, from the hype, the buildup from the single, from day and night, two years of hype.

The hype after the Blueprint 3, after 808s and Heartbreak, it was so much hype.

People were betting on me to fail, and I did not fail.

I brought that shit home.
