Album

The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse stylized as The Blueprint: The Gift & the Curse is the seventh studio album by American rapper Jay-Z. It was released on November 12, 2002, by Roc-A-Fella Records and Island Def Jam Music Group. The album serves as a sequel to his sixth album The Blueprint 2001. Parts of the album were later reissued for his compilation album, titled Blueprint 2. The album debuted at number one, shipping with first-week sales of 545,000 units. The album is.

Jay-Z lost all the momentum gained from the original Blueprint album by following it up with this dud. There are a handful of alright tracks, but nothing that comes remotely close to touching Song Cry, Takeover, or Never Change. Read more. The sad thing about Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 is that it could have been a good albun had Jay-z put out some of the best songs into one CD. His egos tell him that he has to follow in the footsteps of Biggie and Tupac. By releasing a double CD album, he thought he would leave a legacy - he didn't. There are, however, some good songs on the blueprint and almost all are on one disc, the black one my girl let me old a copy. Jay-Z kept The Blueprint incredibly tight, focusing on a single sound and letting nothing interfere with some of the best raps of his career. The Blueprint: The Gift & the Curse is a radically different record, with the most respected rapper in the business trying on a range of styles, collaborating with a lot of guests from Rakim to Lenny Kravitz to Scarface to Beyoncé Knowles, and working with an army of producers Neptunes, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Heavy D, Kanye West.
