At this point, this man really needs no introduction, so I won't waste your time. His back catalog (besides Kingdom Come) pretty much speaks on it's own. His new tracks are no different. "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" has made waves and with good reason. Hova made a great choice in tackling a relevant topic that would get reactions from a lot of people, but looking more surface than that, the song is just damn good. The guitar line, everything just works, and it shows how great he still is.
But that is nothing compared to the latest track he released. "Run This Town" is possibly the catchiest and most anthemic song he's released in years. Rhianna's chorus is out of this world, Jay's verses kill, and Kanye slays on his as well.
Blueprint 3 is shaping up to one hell of an album. It's hard to speculate from the little that we have so far, but this looks like it good rank pretty damn high in Hova's discography. Sept. 11th will be huge. |
