Jay-Z is letting the world know that the Blueprint III is still on it’s way but he’s taking his time to cook up that real musical cocaine for the fans.
Via MTV:
“For me, the process of making an album is difficult with so many things going on,” Jay told MTV News backstage at his “Eve of Change” show. “And me, I wanna make it beyond and above. I’m gonna take my time with it. I don’t have any quotas, and that’s a good thing. It may be too freeing. It’s a good thing and a bad thing. You know, I think I need some restrictions. ‘Cause if I had restrictions, I would have done it in three weeks. I would have made what I believe to be a great piece of art.”
According to Kanye West, the album’s rumored sole producer, the music recorded so far for BP3 is “phenomenal.” West spoke with MTV Base in November and reiterated Jay’s claim that the album could have been released. But after the positive feedback for “Jockin’ Jay-Z” and T.I.’s “Swagger Like Us,” Hov decided to keep cooking up tracks.
“We went in, and we [did] the whole album,” West explained. “He wanted to do a few more joints, so he kinda pushed it back. Now we’re gonna go in and just work on some more records. So I got some more stuff to kill it with! I think [Jay pushed the album back because] ‘Swagger’ just did so incredible. We wanted to go up [and make sure] everything was on that level.”
“I actually recorded a lot of records already,” Jay said. “You know, all those records that leaked [online] were on The Blueprint 3.“
Mediaoutrage- Whether he drops a classic or a dud he’s still the greatest rapper to ever do this. We are hoping for a classic though. So Jigga get in the zone like Kobe in the 4th quarter. A few pics below of Jay at a Pre-Inaugural event on Monday night. Oh yea the boy Jeezy was also in the building. D.C.’s Mayor Adrian Fenty attended the event.

I do not like his music and I never really have. I can’t take away that he is a good rapper as far as his flow. This dude has nothing encouraging and positive to say to others.
