Who favorited?Jay-Z Remains Cool Through Blue Print 3 Leak, Blames Timbaland?
by on September 1st, 2009
Yesterday the inevitable happened. Jay-Z's highly anticipated album, The Blueprint 3, hit the web and has already reached hundreds of thousands of downloads on a multitude of file sharing sites.
But the Brooklyn MC says it's not a problem as he has grown to look at it as a great thing.
“I may be the most bootlegged artist in history,” he told MTV News shortly after his album leaked.
“It’s a preview. I’m excited for people to hear the album. I’m very proud of the work I’ve done, so enjoy it.”
“My pager is actually ringing right now, so people are probably calling me and telling me they pretty much like it,” he explained. “I can tell by the way my pager rings if a song is good or not. It’s really going crazy right now.”
Before the aforementioned statement however, Jay quickly passed blame on Timbaland and his camp.
"Whether Timbaland or his camp got their email jacked, cuz it was only his songs that leaked first… now The whole thing is going to leak pretty soon."
You can check out video of the quick interview below.

So shut the fuck up.
Just a thought.
U ignored Aceyalone – Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones, A-Trak – Infinity, Saigon – ‘All in A Day’s Work’, Stoupe (of Jedi Mind Tricks) – ‘Decalogue’, DOOM (MF Doom) – Born Like This…
AND since your on JAY-Z’s DICK, ur ignoring Bizzy Bone & Bad Azz – Thug Pound, Aesop – Living The Dream While Awake, Dr. Dre – The Chronic: Re-Lit & From The Vault, Crooked I – Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist, 2Pac – Shakurspeare, M.O.P. – The Foundation, Capone – Revenge Is A Promise, Q-Tip – Kamaal The Abstract, Tech N9ne Presents… Big Scoob – Monsterifik, Big Pun – The Legacy: The Best Of Big Pun, Termanology – Time Machine (Hood Politics VI), Ghostface Killah – The Wizard Of Poetry: The Emerald City, Saigon – Warning Shots 2….
ALL OF WHICH DROP IN SEPTEMBER, BUT JOKESTA DIDNT SEEM TO NOTICE CUZ HE RIDING JAY’Z DICK LIKE BEYONCE WHEN SHE’S OVULATING….
Say somethin now Joke….sta
NOT!!!!!!!!!! Fuck Jay Z!
Sean Carter = Dwayne Carter = Used to be hot now both TRASH!!!!!
LLOYD BANKS……..
@gnmgnt all the names I mentioned are big names, and only TRUE Hip Hop fans would know…so that counts you out.
@getatchyaneckyo it’s entertaining to me to read all the BS on this site…which includes your comments.
@skeazaleo couldn’t agree more.
@thinkucanrap
Tell me exactly how exactly those are commercial albums that are heavily anticipated by millions upon millions of people? Hip-Hop is more than underground superstars. No one here is saying those names aren’t important, but what is being said is I bet if I google ‘Aceyalone’, I won’t get any website that is supporting or promoting his album (which I did, and not being surprised I didn’t find any link on the first page), but if I google ‘The Blueprint 3’ I get a billion and 1 hits talking about it (once again I did, and once again I wasn’t surprised that I was right)…soooo, welcome to a business, people aren’t checking for underground names (and Saigon? People still check, or listen to Saigon? After dude got murked by Joey I thought he was in the twilight zone) so welcome to a business that makes money off of the amount of unique IP addresses it gets daily…so rather than putting up underground superstars that really aren’t getting any type of shine to themselves (except Tech N9ne, he’s the only cat who is not signed by a major that is collecting) they post up big news in Hip-Hop. Another thing, if all you do here is bitch and moan, why do you go start your own website that actually brings light to the artists you said (guarantee you won’t get as many users as you think)…just a thought.
Stop Downloadin people! go out and buy albums!
we wonder why music isn’t as good anymore…would u put time and money into something people can’t even take the time out to spend a small bit of cash on????
I fucking hate broke/cheap ass niggas.
this album isnt worth buying
when it comes to retail ima jus rebuy resonable doubts
News flash beastin, unless you are being endorsed by every company that you buy something from chances are you’re just being a hypocrite and trying to find a reason as to why people shouldn’t buy the album…
A lot of spare money lmao, if $10-$20 bucks is a lot of money to you then well…keep your money, and save up for school, so that one day you can have a lot of spare money.

as a matter of fact, i do have a lil change to throw around…as im pretty sure you do too. Cuz i’m sure that(like everybody else)you waiste alot of money on shit you don’t need.(rims, jordans, club, bitches, etc.) and cmon dude your talking bout 10-20 dollars. if u can’t spare it nigga u need a new job, that shit is pocket change.
I stick that amount in a random homeless guys cup at least once a week, so why not at least show some love to GOOD artists tryna do something to better the name and advancement of hiphop.
Props to “shade” cuz that nigga was on point. Motherfuckas man, just always talkin out the side of thier necks…..
bro im na a lil kid like most fags on this site trying to get swag and shit. i can careless about jordans rims clubs and especially bitches.
and Jay IS a GOOD artist but dude the album was disappointing. and im probably going to get trashed cuz peoples standards are low nowadays and say that shits a classic.
once again wen bp3 is out im buyin reasonable doubts. i would of defianetely bought bp3 if he included DP3 on it but hell no. and the best track on bp3 is da one wit cudi
mon
and on DP3… i mean its cool, but i don’t think it’s THAT hot because it’s a recycled verse from the first verse of the original version of DP2
now what i think Jay should do is include a Lost tapes kinda deal with the CD to include some songs off the S.Carter collection and a couple of classic rare songs like Murda Marcyville, the 45 freestyle, and 20 Bag Shorty. That would be FIRE.
bp3 is a breathe of fresh air as i stated in other jay blogs but its jus not a classic. the songs wit kudi, the intro, and young forever is the best cuts. bp3 is not bad at all by any means. its just disappointing.
man i love dp, dp2, and dp3 those are classics, real hip hop at its finest. when that shit came out hip hop was at its prime.
“I keep the diamond cut shinning brillant, i tell you half of the story the rest you fill it in as long as the villian wins.” godamn jay lol
Temptation is only and emotion that can be over come with restraint. Besides i like to feel like im supportin the music i so dearly love.
BUY THE ALBUM!!! STOP DOWNLOADIN!
SO WRONGIDEA PLEASE RLEAX YOURSELF THANK YOU
if he worked that hard wouldnt he take extra precautions so it wouldn;t get leaked? when shit gets leaked its usually the artist fault. And why would timbaland have all the tracks on BP3 when he produced only 3-4 cuts on it?
shit makes no sense
timbo isnt that special his beats are ass anyway lol
LLOYD BANKS……..
nonetheless. i got this shit its tough. enough said. you dudes arguing are wasting your time becuase you all know your gonna cop it regardless. so do us all a favor and shut your cocksuckers.
The music just seems to get lamer and lamer with each new artist and each new cd put out………………
Man when that Relapse 2 dropping? I need that..And that New JEEZY!!!!!!!
By the way, How the FUCK can people even compare Gucci WHACK ASS to fuckin Young Jeezy??? Jeezy got three SOLID ass albums, maybe even a few classics depending on who you ask….
Has Gucci even put out a REAL cd, that wasn’t available for free on Datpiff???
All he does is make mixtapes…I can’t name ONE Gucci album….
BP3 is the biggest album to drop since Relapse so it deserves the press and it has legs now with the leak. This site won’t gain any fans by reviewing ‘Aceyeleon’…I dont even know dude and I thought I was really into rap.
My thoughts..
but yeah, if your actually into hip hop check out aceyalones first two albums that dropped like 1995 and 1996 i believe
hes no doubt a top five rapper, bumped rakim out of my top five (you cant tell me that doesnt say something about the dude)
guys, thinkucanrap is kinda right, not about the whole blueprint 3 thing, thats good publicity, but you gotta give us some fire underground shit too jokesta, like aceyalone and so forth, im not too deep into underground i just started, but not postin many underground songs (forgive me if you actually have and im wrong) im not gonna get into underground quickly
and skeazaleo —shut up with all them banks lyrics..nigha you a bomb talkin about Jeezy.. he iight and you talkin abt them with Jay-Z he shouldnt even be in this category or GUCCI.. you wastin your time,, BraH! and talkin about trends you be a trendsetter and do what you do..and rock big a.. tees lookin like a bomb.. or whatever thats you thats you..WE DONT care you gettin off tha subject..
“Hey Jay-Z, what’s up?”
“Doing great man, Everyone wants to talk to YOUR BOY – HOV, know what I’m saying? AUH!I mean, I Married Beyonce – I have 10 going on 11 albums in a row that debut at number 1 – AUH! – I’m only second to The Beatles, nah mean? AUH!
You wearing Timbalands? We off that son. AUH!”
“…..Shut the fuck up Jay-Z”
Just a theory.
How you make less than 23k a year working in a Box factory,
live in a Winnebago,
got your second cousin pregnant,
memorize gangster movies for fun,
and sing “That’s the Way I like It” in gay kareoke bars on Wednesdays, but wonder why you Failed to land a spot on “American Idol” 5 times.lmao
Just a theory.
ROTF LMAO
cuz i can just imagine Aries Spears mimicking Jay’s voice saying that shit. lmao
Still getting the hard copy on next Friday.
