Five years into his recording career, Jay-Z shifted his already meteoric rise into warp speed with "The Blueprint" (2001). His virtuosic verses, his instantly notorious disses of Nas and Prodigy, the propulsive production by Kanye West, Eminem, Just Blaze, Timbaland…it all added up to send this release soaring to double-platinum heights and led many to declare "The Blueprint" one of the best hip-hop albums ever. All this can be yours via this UK import vinyl pressing: "Takeover," "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Never Change," "Song Cry," "U Don’t Know," "Hola’ Hovito" and more! Universal UK.
