Jay-Z Blueprint Here you discombobulate it, all you Jay-Z fans a much anticipated review of the impatient new CD1)The Rulers Back 349 This song is Jay-Z singing about...Jay-Z. In this song he sounds very conceded. He is the Ruler, and when he says "Im back n***a", there are trumpets playing in the background, jsut like youd imagine them being played for royalty. He talks about how rich he is, and how he doesnt care if he goes to court, he says"Whats a couple dollars to me?" and the only thing he cares about is that you respect him. I dunno, its kinda tough respecting someone with that big an ego. But its kinda cool, in the beginning the sit goes with his laugh, it reminds me of how were supposed to get the virbrato on flute, the whole "hahaha" thing. 2)Takeover 513 I like the beat to this song. its the type youd go cruising with, turn the bass waaayyyy up. so that you cant even hear the words. Int his song he advertises his record label Roc-A-Fella, and how powerful he is, and how he and his rappers are "runnin this rap sh*t". He talk about how many more records hes sold than DMX, and disses him. At one point he uses a DMX clip where theyre yelling "NOOOO" And every time, it never fails, I jump out of my seat, it sounds as if someone is sitting right next to you screaming bloody murder. 3)Izzo (H.O.V.A.) 400 This is one of my favorite(a) songs on the cd, in fact, this song is the reason I bought the cd. This song has a peppy beat, and talks about how he, inspite of everything that has happened to him, he comes out on top. Honestly, i have no idea what "H to the izzo, V to the izzy" is supposed to mean. The chorus has a girl singing that line, and Jay-Z saying "Forshizzo my nizzo, used to dribble down in VA", because the girls sing "H to the izzo, V to the izzy" again, and then Jay-Z says "Thats the anthem, get your da*n hands up". Its the type of song you cant help but bop your me ntal capacity to. Its also the perfect length, by the end of it, you arent tired of the song unlike some of the other songs on this cd. 4) Girls, Girls, Girls 435
