Without further ado, we give you our second mixtape: Prelude to The Blueprint 3, a careful collection of the god emcee's most definitive leaked tracks and guest features from the past year. In anticipation of the biggest rap album of 2009, Prelude was designed to whet appetites while shedding some light on Jigga's state of mind. It sounds like Jay's been sounding: clear, confident, seasoned and a little political - all with swag on levels heretofore unheard of. Its compositions feature a handful of bracing and aggressive samples, hinting forays into alternative genres like jazz, synth rock and world music.
Guest features include: Kanye West, M.I.A., Nas, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Coldplay and more.
The Blueprint 3 will be released on September 11; until then, we hope you enjoy Prelude. Tracklist and download after the jump.

Hello, how are you doing? I really like ur blog! I was wondering if you might help me (I am certain some other readers may also be curious). I would also like to get involved in blogging also and I currently write a blog with Word Press, but it is very difficult for me to use and I would instead like to attempt to make my blog using movable type instead to see if it will be easier. As a movable type web master yourself, do you maybe know where i can get tutorials to be able to do this? Thanks Alot!
Coldplay are so amazing. I still get chills down my spine every time I hear "Fix You".
Hey I just found your site. We blog about similar topics, so I was wondering if you would be interested in exchanging blog links?
Where is your feed link? I like your posts and I'm trying to get them to show up in Google reader.
Is it correct that many artists get screwed over by record studies that wanted to take every penny ??

I think you should get out there and see the new releases as soon as possible. Some of the big blockbusters are quite mind blowing and are setting new standards. I think there is also going to be a growing trend towards more specialist small budget movies from independant studios that are going to be worth a look too.
You are a very talented blogger, and I absolutely love reading your posts.
Thanks I really needed this.

I dont truly know what you talking about right here. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you understand a lot, so why not explore it a lot more? Make it more accessible to everyone else who might not concur with you? Youd get a lot more individuals behind this should you just stopped making common statements.
Excellent!! Liking your posts.

Hi, sorry for inquiring this inquiry here, but I can’t find a contact form or something so I thought I leave my inquiry here. I run a blogengine blog but I am getting large amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it unproblematic to regulate spam with wordpress or doesn't it make any difference? I hope you will respond to my comment or maybe send me an email with your answer if you don't want to approve the comment. Best regards, Annie
It's topics like these that make me sit and ponder - makes me ponder, "this can't be true, can it?
Even though I didn't read the whole article, I actually believe it should be a little simpler to read, alot users don't read this much & just leave the page to read something more simple.. I do, however have something cool to read, rosehip oil is a natural oil removed from rosehips & is very healthy for your skin, come and look.
