BLUEPRINT 3!!! Jay-Z's Grand Finale on Def Jam

Jay-Z Announces Blueprint 3

We reported earlier that Jay-Z was speaking about the Blueprint 3! Well, here is a little update.

Jay-Z has announced he is working on his 11th and final Def Jam album, "The Blueprint 3."

The rapper made the announcement August 6, 2008 during a guest appearance on highly requested Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour in Madison Square Garden, New York.

During the set West asked the crowd if he could play them a few new beats he had recently recorded in Hawaii, including a track called "Jockin’ Jay-Z."

For all the questioned the opening lyrics of the song- here you go!

"That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar
somebody shoulda told him I’m a BLEEP'n rock star.
Today is gonna be the day that I’m gonna throw it back to you," he rapped about Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, who recently slammed the organisers of the Glastonbury festival for booking Jay-Z as a headline act. Jay allows no one to question his talent!

"The Blueprint 3" is also set to feature another track produced by Kanye West entitled "Brooklyn."

Jay-Z!!! Summer Streets!! Read about IT!


Jay-Z and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the kick off of Summer Streets, a program that will turn NYC streets into a traffic free playground for kids. Seven miles from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along Lafayette St, 4th Ave, Park Ave, up to East 72nd St. will be closed and made available every Saturday over the next three weeks from 7am to 1pm. The route will include activities such as, dance classes, bike rentals, and children's games with rest stops along the route and live music performances. Jay-Z hopes the event encourages kids to get involved in positive activities, and recalls one of his proudest moments is when he learned to ride a bike at the age of four. In other Jay news, he recently told Vibe that parts of your life are sacred for you and the people around you. In other words, his marriage is not up for discussion, and that will remain between the people close to him.

DO IT JAY!!!
