I've been trying mega hard (pause) to feel this track....but I can't enjoy that simple corny rhyme scheme....the beat is dope don't get mewrong...but I know Ye and Hov could've did better than that...and I know I know the song is dedicated to me....not even...

I like the beat like when it first came on I was hype...then they started spittin

not impressive....but the I can't even stomach myself ulsur line wasdope

Tomorrow I will support

BP3 and OB4CL2

When BP2 first dropped, I loved it. And I still do.
But in retrospect, we got a recycled verse (B.I.G. on A Dream). A recycled beat (Bonnie & Clyde 03). A recycled song (U Don't Know Remix). Anotherrecycled beat (The Watcher 2).
Don't get me wrong, I love every single one of those tracks.
But subtract those retreads... and subtract a couple of your least favorite tracks.... And it knocks BP2 down a notch.

I can reason with you on the reuse of certain tracks...but the BP3 doesn't have anything that I can compare to Meet The Parents....Some People Hate killsthe BP3's Hate....and I'd rather listen to U Don't Know recycled with a new Jay Verse...than hearing What We Talking Bout with a beat....just myopinion though....but u have a valid point sir...

I think that's my only problem with So Ambitious, I relate it to Allure but it's not as nice, but still

all the same so it's all good, can't wait to buy the CD officially tomorrow, that Blueprint package at Best Buy is only 1 and 2 right?

As far as I'm concerned just cuz they both Neptune produced songs involving Pharrell on the hook doesn't mean Allure and So Ambitious should be compared.

So Ambitious is on the level of Frontin' and it's not really better than that.

oh no don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to compare the 2, at least in that sense, there IS NO comparison.
all I was saying is when I hear So Ambitious I think of Allure and I can't fully appreciate So Ambitious for what it is

After catching all the lines the 3rd time around i was just

 

[fantastic4our]

BP2, minus all the filler, had some incredible tracks. Hovi Baby, Meet The Parents (that alone is better than anything on BP3), U Don't Know Remix, NPlease, Poppin Tags, Show You How, Some People Hate, As One

I hear you on all those points as well.
There is no Meet The Parents on here. And yeah, U Don't Know... the beat alone crushes just about anything on BP3. As a matter of fact, I said the samething a few pages back when I first heard the album: That BP3 seems to be lacking the club bangers in the vein of U Don't Know and Up In The Club. (ThoughI now think there are a handful of club bangers on here).

But as many have already said about BP3.... There may be no stand-out tracks per say, but the album just seems to flow seamlessly as a whole.

No one is disputing that BP2 was hot. At least I'm not. Here is what I said:

And how is my underlined section any different from what your underlined section says?

 

[dunnyy]

What website are you reffering to? Not this one.

As stated by me and cosigned by members that I know were around during that time, Allure was praised. Justify my thug was getting the hate.

And last I checked, Black Album didnt get leaked song by song, that was Blueprint 2 my man.

[35kd]

just got my copy a lil while ago. definitely feelin' the songs so far

 

[jthagreat]

One day you guys will see BP2 is a great album. but just like vol 2, there is no "cohesion" between the tracks that make a good album... word toRD,BP, TBA, and AG'

take the #of hot songs on BP2 and you have a # higher than 18.

 

[freddypee]

who else goin to the garden friday?

 

[awwsome]

Can't chill but my neck will
