Jay Z has announced that “The Blueprint” will not be released on September 18th as planned because it has been heavily bootlegged on the streets and on the Internet.
The release date has tentatively moved to October 2nd. This album has an incredible buzz because it is being called his best and most introspective album since his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt.” Jay had bootlegging problems with his last album as well (just ask Lance Riveria) which resulted in the incredible track “Anything” being left off the album and tacked on to Beanie’s as a bonus track. Let’s just hope that this doesn’t hurt the LP. This is what Jay Z had to say about it:
“I just think when someone puts there heart and soul in making an album, and they like it, they should buy it,” Jay-Z said about bootleggers. Music shouldn’t be traded so freely. Paying for a CD is way easier.”
I agree with him on the first part, but how is paying for it easier?
