Lost this one over two years ago. Had to get it again. THE CLASSICS

I bought this for my son whos and avid music listener. I guess he'll like it

I was driving late to visit family and I left my music at home. decided to stop by best buy..I was excited and hype playing the entire album

This is another classic. This is the 4th copy I have purchased since the original release.

It's Jay-Z, what more you want me to say? The talent he had just blows me away. Anything he puts out is am classic.

Love my purchase and experience in store friendly and fun

CDs work great brand new still in wrapper shipped on time

This is a really good double album from Jay-Z!!!!!

The album deal with so many different issues and topics... from Remembering B.I.G. on It Was All A Dream to Putting little "MC's" in their place and reminding the industry why he is the GOD MC on (Hovi Baby, and The Watcher II(great collab with RAKIM and DR.DRE)) to THE NAS BEEF on (The track, Blueprint 2) to even dedicating a whole song to breaking down the difference between a "sista" and a "b!tch" on (B!tches & Sistas) and look forward to collabs with RAKIM DR.DRE LENNY KRAVITZ!! SEAN PAUL MEMPHIS BLEEK M.O.P. BEYONCE PHAREAL FREEWAY YOUNG GUNZ PEDDI CRACK KANYE WEST and BIG's verse from his classic single, Juicy

Jay-Z finally released his long awaited double CD in late 2002 with "Blueprint 2:The Gift and The Curse." Even though 2-Pac and Biggie released CLASSIC double albums years before, composing a FLAWLESS double album is IMPOSSIBLE, unless you have all of the necessary tools to keep filler out of your album(my favorite MC Nas WILL do it this year with the double CD "Street's Disciple"). Jigga tries his hand with this album, and it's pretty decent after the first few listens. Here's the review: Disc One Album Highlights: A Dream, 03 Bonnie & Clyde, The Watcher 2, All Around The World, The Bounce, I Did It My Way, and Excuse Me Miss. Poppin Tags, F*** All Nite, and the song with Sean Paul are absolute filler. Production: Thumbs in the middle, but nowhere near horrible. Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs SLIGHTLY up for this one. Originality: Thumbs in the middle. Nothing new here. Disc Two Album Highlights: Diamonds Are Forever, Guns N Roses, U Don't Know(Remix), Blueprint 2, Some People Hate, Meet The Parents, Some How, Some Way, and A Ballad For The Fallen Soldier. Feel free to skip 2 Many Hoes and N**** Please. Production: Thumbs in the middle, right on par with the first disc. Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up. Originality: Thumbs up, but slightly. The Last Word: While not the flawless album that many thought it would, this is actually an excellent from Jay-Z. ONLY truly talented MCs like Jay-Z can release double albums that can make an impact. Although this release didn't set the world on fire, it truly represents Jigga as his retirement would soon be on the way. Recommended.

Not as good as the first Blueprint but still a solid cd.

I'm a new fan of Jay-z. I thought it would be interesting to puchase some of his older music. I was not impressed
