brother, Jay reminds you to “hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro.” Second verse kicks it up a notch with filthy wordplay in these lines, where he name-drops a number of Roc affiliates while essentially telling everyone to bow down: The album begins with a bold claim: “The Ruler’s Back.” After lyrical nods to Slick Rick and his B.I.G. Don’t think so? Check out Jay Z’s unplugged, where he performed music mostly from this album backed by The Roots. They basically dumped a healthy dose of musicality into rap culture with the release of The Blueprint. Just Blaze tapped into the sound too, and along with Bink!, the three producers made all but three of the album’s fifteen tracks. The production was a step away from the typical 2001 rap sound, and used more organic sounds, similar to what the Soulquarians were doing right around the same time. With a soulful sound engineered by Kanye West (keep in mind this is 2+ years before College Dropout would be released), the album moved 420k units in its first week. That brought us to The Blueprint, released on the tragic September 11, 2001. He also worked extensively with Just Blaze, and released his first work produced by Kanye West, Bink!, and The Neptunes on that record. Roc La Familia further solidified the crew, with Beanie Siegel and Memphis Bleek appearing on most of the tracks.

The Blueprint is one of the great hip-hop albums of all time, complete with beefy drama, defiant production, and some of the best work from one of rap’s GOATs. Jay Z’s sixth studio album is widely considered to be his best.
