…i guess. not a fan of Rihanna pseudo-singing hooking.
meh average kanye killed jay on his own shit damn jays delivery is getting slack compare his flow on this to the energy on 4alarm Blaze this song its pretty forgettable
This is Roc nation, pledge yo allegiance
the new dirty link being “kanye feat jay-z” hahaha
YE FINALLY killed Jay on his own shit.
ye did come off on this track hard
o great m4a…
THEY BOTH WWENT HARD ON DIS TRACC (NO HOMO) RHIANNA DID HER USUAL…OVER ALL IM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ALBUM..HOPEFULLY JADA MAKES AN APPEARENCE WIT JEEZY, FAB, BEYONCE, NAS, FREEWAY, SIEGAL…N MORE…YEAH IM LOOKIN 4WARD TO DIS
1. I can totally hear Drake on this (which supports the rumors that he got replaced)
2. Ye did come hard on this (pause), but mind you, Hov don’t write shyt down. I’m glad that Ye finally put the autotune down and went back to College Dropout days.
3. I thought I was feeling Rihanna, but after a second listen…naw. Atleast she’s on another hit (no Chris Brown)
Overall…my anticipation for BP3 is dying down.
WTF is Jay doing?? Is he freestyling or trying to make a hot song. Most of what he said was just moans and sounds. He needs to sit down and write shit out.
Stop hatin yall….Ye goes hard, Jay talks that big $ as usual so you don’t get it at first, but thats all he knows now. With Rihanna on the hook I get the chills…The beat is hard too…PERFECT thanks HOV
man jay isn’t being him self lately wtf is he doing?
kanye killed this song… who produced this ?
anyone got download link?
I like the song. Sounds like a track that would normally b a third single for anybody else. Kinda shows jay doesn’t care about album sales and all the other bullshit. He just wants to make good music. Wait till the video drops. Expect some crazy visually artistic fashionable look to it. This ain’t for the kids. I would say it ain’t even just for hip hop. It’s for folks that just love good music.
Its starting to grow on me…Jay & Yeezy def killed this shit.
@BLUE19MAGIC14 as much as I would love to see a Beans, Free & Jada featured on this album we prob have a better chance of seeing a Miley Cirus & Trick Daddy Callabo.
THIS SHIT IS GARBAGE..WHACK AS FUCK..KANYE DID HIS THANG BUT STILL TRASH
Jay lyrically killed kanye on this jawn. Kanye killed jay with delivery. Jays verse probably went way over niggas heads. As usual when jay goes in you gotta listen a couple times to peep what he’s talking at. C’mon niggas. Yall should know jay by now spits just about everything in a cryptic coded way. Ye was str8 forward with his rhymes and did kill it. But he ain’t on jays lyrical level.
5 comma 6 zero who can 5million cooler than that, im just sayin!! OMG!!!!!!
this is going to shit all over i tunes and billboard…. BP3 on the way
I like Rihanna on hooks. overall its a hot track, jay could of went a lil harder… Atleast drake is not on it
@prolificjason Ur right on that fam. Jay is gonna have a big number one just from the line up alone. This track is gonna blow up on all top 40 stations across the country and overseas.
“What you think I rap for? To push a fu*kin Rav 4”?… Yea you a genius.
If You Dig This Jigga You’ll Dig This:
man kanye killed this ish, jay-z’s verse flowed but he lacked delivery and punch lines. It’s just same ol’ jay. But none the less, the track is insanely dope. Rihanna killed it and kanye’s killed jay on his own track
im a fan a day 1 fan and this shit sucks and because its Jay-Z you milk it up. if it was anyone else you wouldnt care. its fucking sick
Just not feeling any of Jay-Z’s songs anymore. I think its finally time to admit he doesn’t have it anymore. Still cop the BP3 just because I’ve been supporting him all my career but I think its about that time for him to hang it up. Kanye Destroyed him on his own joint and I wondering why rappers continue to put Rihanna singing the same kind of hooks on songs. Her and Kanye made the song though honestly.
THE BEST VERSION
thats the reason for the hate. But fuk that this shit is a hit. We are… yeah i said it we are ROC NATION
Just because its Jay….Just beacuse its Jay wah wah shut the hell wit all that crap. If its not for you then why did you click on the download link?
Dead Tone
A party. A prank phone call game. A lunatic on the other end of the line.
What happens when the college students making these calls forget to dial *69, telling a mad man exactly who they are and where to find them? Soon the partying friends are trapped in a horrifying game of survival against someone hell-bent on ruining more than their night in a party house. Once the phone line goes dead, it’s too late to escape the fun and games this maniac has in mind.
Based on a true story, Dead Tone stars Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner), Jud Tylor (Charlie Wilson’s War, That 70s Show) Antwon Tanner (One Tree Hill), Brian Hooks (Fools Gold, Eve).
Yo can someone ban all the Roc Nation interns from the comments section that shit is trash, kanye rapped his ass off but Hov needs to call it a day. I know how Elliot Wilson is writing a “How to blow Hov Manual” but if you love black music you cant say with a straight face that this shit is dope.
This is not the Jay-z I like. Even the cover screams Kanye. Jay needs to do Jay. But the truth is, Jay-z is trying to produce songs to todays youth. Nothing wrong with that, if the rest of the albums the Jay-z I grew up on. I like Kanyes beats. But I would much rather prefer Just Blaze.
LIKE THE CONCEPT ON THIS ONE.
I KNOW THE VIDEO WILL BE CRAZY!!!
GOTTA SHOW MY TRIBUTE TO JAY!!!
BLUEPRINT 3 [9/11/09]
GET READY!!!
Discography of Jay-Z [Video]
MUCH LOVE TO RAP RADAR
THANX YN
C’mon, this is hot. Just enjoy the music.
Not really feelin Jays verse on this track that much, but the rest of the track i like. Kanye kills it. Ye is like Luda, he kills features. Plus he spits with such emotion you cant help but feel the shit. IMO for you faggot dick ridin bastards.
WOW!!
This has to be one of the best “A” side singles from HOV.
BP3, is looking very on point IMHO. This record is super dope for a single from Jay(I never like Jay’s “A” side, intill 2 years after). Wow, I really thought DOA, was going to be the “B” side champ, but wow…
*note* “they aint got no spades” he talkin about the champagne *ace of spades* like a 2 in 1… life is like a card game and you play your cards…if u dnt have any spades (the hight cards in the deck) you have a bad hand in life…
*note* “im a couple bands down and im tryna get bacc, i gave doug a grip…” he’s talkin about how he overpaid to buyout his last album from def jam….
you people dont even barely understand the things he raps about. he not just like blah blah blah…but hey thats how it goes most of the time his lyrics fly right over the head of people…
this song rt hear is a good look…he didnt disappoint in no way and for the most part its “listen-to-able” LOL

meh average shit hook seems like an attempt to create a T.I. live your life single + kanye killed jay on his own shit damn jays delivery is getting slack compare his flow on this to the energy on 4alarm Blaze this song its pretty forgettable he seems more concerned with how wispery he can make his lines then coming with it too much swag not enough potency all his bars these days sound lazy and his always ending the end of every bar with an extended wisper this isn’t the hov from hovi baby remix or its like that or friend or foe 98
Haters gonna hate cause its Jay. Thats the power of the blogger. Tryin to go against the grain. Its been alot of songs that came out sub par but they dont recieve this much posts.
This a single if you wanna hear Jay kill you with Lyrics listen to History or Brooklyn Go Hard.
“Im screaming fuck the other side they jealous. We got a Banquet full of broads they got a table full of fellas…”
He still got it.
Anyone else see the irony in the line “table full of broads you have a table full of fellas”?
Nas used a VERY similar simile to kill him during their beef,
It sounds like Kanye got him… “sounds like” I don’t wanna write too much, so Im not gonna explain verses. Hov’s lines are more complex. I hope he doesn’t start dumbin it down. Shit’s perfection.
Sound’s hot, isn’t that the point. Why must people start senseless arguments. Haters

Jay is on it with this one….You gotta give it to him and even though a lot of people can’t humble themselves enough to give him his props, their hate actually shows they like it and mearly hate themselves for doing so!!!!! Dude killed every aspect of the game he’ss involved in. you gotts tip ya hat to the Nigga….That’s why they call him Hov? He said yea!!!!!!!!!
Jay’s flow killed this. Ye’s lyrics killed this. Rhianna’s hook is dope. Jay still got it but he jus don’t have that hot flare no more.
ye killed the whole record makes hov sound dull now we see y jay didnt want the nigga to put out records. kanye holdin it down 4 the chi (besides that homo shit he didnt start that till he went to NYC)
why is Jay featuring artists who are bigger than him at the time? does he enjoy being out shined?
First Em on “Renegade” now Kanye on this track. Hell…even Ja Rule had a better verse on “Can I Getta” (I’m in no way saying Ja is or was ever even close to Jay, but he killed him on that track)
Gotta do things like Dre…if they kill you on your own shit…get them to write your verse for you hahaha. Detox will own BP3. Hands Down
or did jigga just apply the project pat delivery on this joint? …most notably on the first several bars of the second verse…crazy.
that shit smacked me in the face…dope. the nigga has always been a student of every coast. let that be a lesson to you up and comers. pay attention to everything.
Yall mufuckas dont know wat ya yappin bout..listen to the track again…no ye killed jay on this…jay always rapes em…cant wait 4 BP3 to hit stores
dis song is hella fresh !!!
I love it, it a great song
Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap (Shit)
