The 11th studio album from hip-hop heavyweight, Jay-Z is on it’s way. Entitled The Blueprint 3, the album will be released worldwide on the 11th of September. Now the first single off the album is called D.O.A – Death Of Auto-Tune. The music mogul is making a massive statement by commenting on the current state of hip-hop and how many of the genres stars at the moment are making ‘bumblegum pop that they call HIP HOP” through the use of the auto-tune. Here it is for y’all:
Quick Jay Z Facts
o Sold in excess of 40 million albums worldwide.
o Jay is a 7-time Grammy Winner.
o 10 #1 Albums, tied with Elvis Presley and behind only the Beatles for the most of all-time. Will this be his 11th #1?
o Co-Founder of Roc-A-Fella Records,
o Co-owner of 40/40 Sports Clubs with locations in NYC and Atlantic City.

you dont have to like what he saying but you HAVE to RESPECT IT!!! you say he late…but whatever better ate than never!!!! RESPECT HOVA STR8 UP!
Jay is the bomb!!! Smooth, smart, talented, hot, cool, everything. I loved the song. And he called out all the hip hop community or anyone who used auto tune.
Jay-Z Sucks big time… pls.. dont raise ur hopes too much… What u need to be listening to is the next big thing in hip-hop… Ya’l have never even heard of (Crooked-I) aka LBC (Long Beach Crooked) Aka Intriago the current (West Coast Best Lyricist, and Best Mixtape awards winner)… don’t tell me nothin bout jay he is old money im talkin new money fresh lyrics fresh hip-hop new stuff out the West Coast….. http://www.treacherousrecords.com...
Jayz is a plagiarist waKapa,waBiter aka Bluetooth aka Sabre-tooth aka King of Kwaito. Back in the day he used to bite Nas,Pac,Slick-Rick,Biggie,Snoop in most of his major hits. These days he listens to up and coming kats’ demos and that’s where he gets his ‘tight’ lines. ‘I’m a hustler u’re a customer’.'I’m not a businessman I’m a business man’ etc. Those aren’t his lines we’ve heard them before on kay slay/funk-master-flex mixtapes.
Got no respect for Jay-Z…without a tight beat Jay-Z as an artist aint ish except to loyal fans and groupies.
hova is tha best the is in hip-hop remember madison square? blueprint1 reasonable doubts, dead president need i say more? hova you are a true role model to everyone in hiphop keep it up we tired of listening to pop.
Brian and whomever wrote that Jay-Z was a plagiarist, please STOP THE HATING!!! Brian,I thought we were over the whole East Coast/West Coast thing. Remember, that foolish talk resulted in way too many ignorant fights and possibly the death of at least one hip-hop legend. Okay, so you think Crooked-I is good. Fine. I’m sure we’ll hear from them soon enough, if they’re good enough. I believe they’re associated with Mack 10 andd have been for a long while (????). And as far as Jay-Z being a plagiarist, you can’t have the success that he’s had off of a few lines that he may have repeated from other artists alone. If you ask me, it brings to light the accomplishments of these artists. He may be doing them a favor. Se the controversy that it causes? Bottom line, stop the hating and support this successful black artist. So many in the game, so few make it. He’s one of them. By the way, I am from the East Coast but I’m not biased. My favorite artist of ALL TIME just happens to be from the West Coast. His rap name is ICE CUBE.
