No I.D. compares the Blueprint 3 to...

808s and Heartbreak?!? Well, it's more of a contrast, really. Kanye's mentor (and producer of Common's first classic, Resurrection) says BP3 was crafted during some of the same sessions that produced Yeezy's left-field watershed. And while he quickly reassures that Hov's album is more endowed with "hip-hop cred," we all know Kanye goes through phases, and having not really produced any of his many features since Heartbreak, it wouldn't be too difficult to imagine he still has 808s on the brain.

Will the third installment of Blueprint series find Hov rapping over spaced out synths and tribal drums? Whatever's in store, one thing is clear, No I.D. thinks it's a "full-fledged classic."
