If you were on twitter yesterday and you follow music bloggers, you would know that Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 leaked in the afternoon. If you actually read the tweets, you would also know that it isn't that good. As a whole, there are some really amazing tracks and some really terrible/skippable tracks. "Empire State Of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys [not the collab with Empire Of The Sun...don't even...] is the former - a solid beat, not too many studio tricks, tight rhymes and Alicia's soaring vocals make this track a stand-out. The lyrics are a spot on tribute to New York as he shows his love for the big city.
