The Road To Blueprint 3

December 2nd will come soon enough and four songs are already out there in the world, all ready to ingest and discuss. So, in honor of two songs leaking in the last few days, I thought I'd take a moment to put them all in one place and you can decide if its looking like Hov's latest will be more like The Blueprint (undisputed classic) or The Blueprint 2 (lame). That said, let's get into it.

First track is D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune). This track premiered with much gusto at Summer Jam in NYC (with T-Pain at his side) and was the first glimpse we had at an official Blueprint 3 track. I know I was a little disappointed and maybe others were too because now his label is saying that it shouldn't be considered the first single.

The first single in their minds is Run This Town and why shouldn't it be? It's a way better song. You throw Kanye and Rihanna up on a track and suddenly the odds of smash go up exponentially. You can check out the video below, it has this whole "we are the rebellion" vibe to it. Worth a watch.

The last two tracks are both Timbaland concoctions and I'll just let you make up your mind on them. One is just Jay giving everybody, including music bloggers, a Reminder about his prowess and the second is a track called Off That featuring new up-and-comer, Drake (who has a pretty damn good free mixtape called So Far Gone out).

Update: Another new Timbaland produced track called: Venus Vs. Mars.

Another Update: 3 new tracks leaked: called Hate ft. Kanye West, A Star Is Born ft. J. Cole and Already Home ft. Kid Cudi

Like 'em? Don't like 'em? Hate that I mentioned Jay-Z? Throw some comments up.
