The Blueprint

Hit the gym last night and thought that this album might be a good one to help me get through the session. And I was right…

Now I know of Jay-Z, but I’d not particularly followed his music, and have only heard a few things by him. So this was good introduction for me into more of his stuff.

I’ll be honest, it was good, but I’m not going to go out and snap up all his work. I liked it, but it didn’t wow me like some of the ablums I’ve listened to already did. And I’m ok with that, I knew that not everything in the book would be amazing in my eyes.

The tracks were decent, the songs covered a wide variety of topics, including some more emotional based tracks, which I wouldn’t normally associate with rap. There were a couple of nice little surprises, including Eminem popping up in one track.

It was good to work out to, the bass heavy rhythm keep me going, both on the cardio and the resistence equipment, so I enjoyed that motivational aspect of the album as well.
