Jay-Z's latest features 'crazy beats,' hooks

Jay-Z’s latest album, The Blueprint 3, has some unique productions and some massive hooked-on beats. The album starts off and ends with crazy beats, which makes sense considering Kanye West did most of the music production.

Blueprint 3

Jay Z's "Blueprint 3"

Throughout the album, the beats and verses are so hypnotic. Jay-Z has a unique style flow and some wild verses and a futuristic vibe. On the most controversial single, “D.O.A.,” Jay-Z raps about how auto-tune, a synthesizer that allows artists to change their vocalization and commonly used by T-pain, is killing hip-hop slowly and how every new artist is using auto-tune. Jay-Z is being creative, attempting to move to the future, to evolve, to inspire and to shine bright.

Coupled with appearances by new artists Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson, Drake and J. Cole, it’s easy to see what Jay-Z is trying to accomplish. The album ends with the best track, “Young Forever,” which will be the most addicting song of all time. The Blueprint 3 is a must add-on album to the Jay-Z collection. A great album.
