Would the proper words be tadaow? Is that the proper spelling? Is that a word? So much for unanswerable questions, as Jay-Z sheds light on his forthcoming album, Blueprint 3. As you’ll see by the tracklist below, Kanye West and No I.D. handled almost all of the production aside from one Timbaland produced beat. The album features Kid Cudi, MGMT, Nas, Drake, Mr. Hudson, and Rihanna. Aside from the Nas feature, Jay relied heavily on the new class, and the G.O.O.D. Music camp. See for yourself below. No I.D. was in Chicago a couple weeks ago and played a little bit of this over at SoundScape. I heard it was pretty dope…others have disagreed. Time will tell…Tracklist after the jump…spotted at 2dopeboyz.
