Well, well, well… I know today we are paying dues to Jay’s first album, Reasonable Doubt, but I couldn’t wait another second to share this with you all. Don’t thank me though; thank ya boy YN for the break through of the the original samples used in Jay’s latest album, The Blueprint 3. Just one day after the album leaked on the Net, RapRadar has revealed 9 samples from Blueprint 3. I still haven’t listened to the album in whole yet, so I cannot confirm if these are complete. Props YN!

Check it out after the cut…

    dope find, thats pretty much it sample wise but i still think timbos used a couple hidden samples ,especialy in reminder ,im almost certai j dilla used the same intro sample?

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Kevin

    yeah, we all know Timbo samples and most are tough to track down. I haven’t heard Reminder yet, so I can’t verify just yet. These samples are more than likely not complete. Thomas has already found another sample (or interpolation) used in the first track. If we find a few more, we will do this set up KN style.

    Here’s my little review of B3 for what it’s worth:

    Better than I expected but I’m not feeling it as much as it seems others are. I’d say it’s on par w/ American Gangster.

    Song I’m feeling:
    What We Talkin’ About ft. Luke Steele (Of Empire of The Sun)
    Thank You (should’ve been the intro track)
    D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)
    Empire State of Mind ft. Alicia Keys (by far the best track on the album)
    A Star Is Born ft. J. Cole (best collab on here)
    Already Home ft. KiD CuDi
    So Ambitious ft. Pharrell (Jay usually does good with the Neptunes

    Tracks I hate
    Run This Town ft. Rihanna & Kanye West (this wouldn’t have been on here if it wasn’t for Rihanna, shame cause Kanye rips it)
    Off That ft. Drake
    Venus Vs. Mars
    Reminder

    Indifferent:
    Real As it Gets ft. Young Jeezy (not bad but seems out of place)
    On To The Next One ft. Swizz beatz
    Hate ft. Kanye West
    Young Forever ft. Mr Hudson

    In the end, just too much stuff I’m not feeling for me to really enjoy this album. Maybe I’ll sit on it for awhile and revisit it but off my first few listens, just not that interested in it.

  • onez

    I’m on it!!! That hate track does it for me. Checking the samples. Thx.

  • Dr. MaD

    im wonderin if Ye didnt used the same drums Dilla (once again i know) used for “Let’s ride” by QTip on “Run this town” Sample: Humpty Dump by Vibrettes. I don’t know but it sounds a bit bit bit similar if you listen closely- what yall think? I asked myself the first time I heard that song.

  • KVINN

    Rhapsody is letting us listening to the whole BP3 album a week before it drops. Mad props to you Kevin, doing a great job with the website

  • KVINN

    BTW, totally agree with you Justin

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Thomas

    Still haven’t listened to the album. Will get the samples tho.

  • Eric

    I’ll wait for the KN treatment as well. KN treatments are good for the soul lol.

  • Chase Valentine

    I was only feeling tracks 3,5,and 7 on the album. “Empire State of Mind” definitely stole the show by using The Moments’- “Love on a Two-Way Street”. I’m calling this one of his weakest albums. “Jockin’ Jay Z” and “Brooklyn Go Hard” should have been on there to make it more of a banger.

  • Charity

    I will just say that the only people falling off on this album are Timbaland and Kanye West.

    “Hov on that new shit, N***s like how come? N***s want old shit, buy my old album! …”

    Really feeling the album! Really versatile shit on it! But I also know most people will complain about it, cause it’s different…

  • Jonathan Martin

    Neptunes interpolated Minnie Riperton’s – “Memory Lane” for “So Ambitious”. Check it out!

    AH-HA! @Johnathan Martin…i KNEW i recognized that from somewhere

  • http://Blg007fx@aol.com Gibbs

    What else was In the Space by Janko Nilovic & Dave Sucky sampled in…I cant figure it out

  • Timi Yuro

    the more i listen to these sample compilations, the more i see how Kanye West really just takes the entirety of a song and lays down some bass behind it, and some snare.
    Then again, he’s smart/innovative enough to do it…and get paid!

  • Pfuma Makwembere

    @ Jonathan Martin – You are right about the Minnie Ripperton sample for So Ambitious with the horns but the whole feel of the song is very similar to Reasonable Doubts, Regrets, Chords and baseline included

  • http://twitter.com/smallpro smallpro

    @Timi Yuro: u didnt listen to the samples, did you? be honest…

  • Timi Yuro

    @smallpro
    yes I did. I didn’t mean it as though all his stuff just sounds like total rips, like the DOA track is basically a total rip IMO. I’m just saying that a few of these songs in this compilation are almost full rips of the original song

  • Isaac

    Shit, but That DOA was one hell of a Rip to find LOL, I’ve had that beat stuck in my head all week.
