September 8th (a day later)

Its been a minute since I posted something but im back and I want to talk about to albums that came out yesterday Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban linx... PT. II & Jay-Z's Blueprint 3

I like BP3 alot right now but if the blogs and rap forums speak any truth im one of the few people who enjoys the grown up & mature Jay. He has done & said all he has to & could possibly say. Hell thats why i love American Gangster so much because if you look at it hes pretty bored with just rapping and is asking himself what is next. If you look at BP3 for what ii is an album from a man who has done and said it all and now is just looking back at where he came from and what he has done and finds himself happy & pround at what he became then yeas its a good album. If you look at it as not Reasonable Doubt well then you not only are an idiot but you are not gonna like this album that much.

While Cuban Linx 2 is not as great as the first one (it was never gonna be) it is as good as the original verison as we will get. Its like The Godfather 2 great in its own right and while it is not the original it is as close and as impactful as the first as it could be. Its not Cuban Linx revisted which benifits the album. The fact that it has its own idenity means in a couple of years it can be as timeless as the first. It is a perfect companion piece to OB4CL and Rae and everybody invloved seems to have gone out of there way to make sure Linx 2 was as great and as Close to the original as it could possiblly be.
