Do You Think Blueprint 3 Will Really Drop This Year?

It's no surprise that a lot of people are anticipating Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 this year. Jay-Z is on record saying that the album will be released by the end of the year. Do you really think that we will hear the album at the end of the year though or it it safe to say the album may not come out until early next year? Jay Z said that he and Kanye West have laid down a lot of tracks for the album. There were rumors that other producers may be on the project, which includes Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes. In a recent interview with MTV News, the multi-talented producer said, "Of course,” when asked whether Jay had called him to work on Blueprint 3. He then took a long pause before refusing to divulge any more info. “He don’t like for you to say so much.” Williams is working with a lot of artists he can talk about right now. We were in the studio with him recently in Atlanta and had a sneak preview of some beats he did for Diddy and the Clipse. One Puff track that really stuck out has the potential to be huge if Diddy does it right. “Puff’s album is crazy,” Williams promised. “Y’all should know that. It’s pretty serious. It’s innovative. “[Lil] Wayne and I had an interesting conversation,” he added about his slate of production work. “We just did Fall Out Boy. We did Cassie, Jadakiss, going in with Fab[olous]. … I can’t think. It’s a bunch of stuff.”

It looks like Pharrell is not saying much about working with Jay-Z. For all of you Jigga fans, we know that Pharrell is one of Jay-Z's go-to guys as far as production is concerned. I guess the jury is out on whether we will really see the album in December. My prediction is that there may be a push back or two. Who knows? I know I would rather hear the album sooner than later.
