[MAGAZINE MADNESS] Jay-Z’s ‘The Blueprint’ Covers The Source October Issue
09/12/2011 • 
On September 20th, 2011 Barnes and Noble and I will have a date. Everyone knows that Jay-Z is my Elvis so the purchase of this issue of The Source is a no brainer. The Source celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Jay-Z’s classic album “The Blueprint’ with a tribute issue. The issue dedicated to the classic album which was released on 9/11, includes a “Blueprint Feature Package” written by Elliott Wilson of Rap Radar. “After his classic 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, ignited the streets, dazzled the critics, but didn’t move enough units, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter scrapped his bad marketing plan for a one-album discography and decided to drop new masterful work each and every year. He emerged center stage with a fervent desire to be #1 in the post “Pac-Biggie” era. No MC ever wanted the throne as much as Hov. If consistency kills, he was the Son of Sam, and by the time he got to his sixth album, his frustrated competitors were firing shots back.”-Elliott Wilson. Be sure to get your copy! Via more
