Buy Blueprint 2.......2005-12-23

The album Blueprint 2.1 is pretty average, especially for someone like Jay-Z. There are a few great cuts like "03 Bonnie and Clyde", "Excuse Me Miss", and "A Dream" which samples Biggie's lyrics in his song "Juicy" from Ready to Die. Over half the album is filler though, like "The Bounce".

You could just get the Blueprint 2 and pay the same amount and still get more tracks. You could just make this mix on your computer. I mean why pay more for less songs if you could have it all with Blueprint 2 (and a cooler cover). 2.1 is 3 stars because of the solid tracks.

I reccomend 2.1 to any crazy Jay-Z fan. If you are not a crazy fan, get Blueprint 2. If you are not a fan, then don't waste your money on an average Jay-Z album, when you can get much better one s like "Reasonable Doubt"

poor tracklisting.......2005-10-09

good in theory, although maybe too soon after the original release, but the tracklisting leaves much to be desired. There were some songs that were left off, such as 'Diamond Is Forever', that definitely should've been put on. And the most notable 2 tracks that shouldn't have made the cut were 'A Dream' and 'The Bounce'. Despite this, Jay-Z is still the lyrical king, and if you didnt pick up Blueprint 2, definitely get this one, you can't miss out on this project.

The King's perspective.......2005-05-10

The album is off the charts. The man obviously knows what he's doing. I had a wicked dream also, and after that I decided to call it quits with my music career. Being from Brooklyn, N.Y. myself I
know it's not easy coming up from the slums to make hit after hit.
Jay tells it like it is. From Reasonable Doubt all the way to Blueprint 2. For all those who are hating on the man and don't want to give credit where credit is due, it's all good. I give him
five stars on just the lyrics alone, because you gotta come from the same environment to understand. His footprints will never be
replicated, only tried to be duplicated!!!!!

Overall better than BP 2, but still..........2005-05-02

This cut off all the wack stuff from Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 double album, which in my opinion is one of his most uninspired releases ever. However, this still has a lot of filler on it. There's a low point in the middle of the album and if those four songs were cut off, this would be a great 10 track album, and would rival some of Jay's best work (well, not rival, since Reasonable Doubt is classic, but it would be a good album in its own right). My opinion is that one should download Blueprint 2 and make a sick mix with one's own favorite songs. I didn't have this previous knowledge and went out and got 2.1 (not 2, thankfully), but now you have it, so get to it!

3.5 TO BE EXACT.......2005-04-30

LOVE THE SONGS SELECTED.
IF THERE WAS NO BLUEPRINT 2 THIS ALBUM WOULD BE A CLASSIC...
I GAVE IT THIS RATING BECAUSE PEOPLE COULD HAVE MADE THIS AT HOME THEMSELVES.

Average customer rating: Blueprint 2.1 (clean) really 4.5 stars....

Blueprint 2.1 (clean).......2004-12-18

This album is sick! It has a lot or the best Blueprint 2:the Gift & the Curse tracks on it. Those "bouns" tracks on the CD are really hard to get after you buy it. They should have put songs like "Big Pimpin'" or "Izzo" on it and make a hits CD before the Black Album (that albums awsome!).

One of the best tracks is an un-famous song called "The Bounce (ft. Kanye West)" it is tottaly a party hit. "03 Bonnie & Clyde (ft. Beyonce)" gets old every once in a while, but "Excuse Me Miss" is a good replacement. All the other tracks are nice, cool, and fresh, without a doubt!

Overall, this CD rules! If you manage to get the "bouns" tracks you'll be very happy with it. Only true Jay-Z fans will like this one. It won't be a wste of money!

really 4.5 stars...........2004-10-24

Jay-Z is freakin Amazing.......2004-05-29

I love this CD so much! It's just like the regular Blueprint 2.1 EXCEPT, with 5 Awesome songs!

Excuse Me Miss Again: My fav out of da 5. It has a kick ass Neptune's beat and is bascially a pimp, less gentle version of Excuse Me Miss. 10/10

Stop: Another great song. Has beats by Swizz Beatz and is pretty cool, not as good as Excuse Me Miss Again, but still pretty good 8/10

Beware: This song was hillarious when i first heard it, the second time i liked it, the third time I loved it! It grows on you after a few listens but over all a pretty kick ass song 9/10
