After seeing an advanced screening of the new Denzel Washington film, American Gangster, Jay-Z went straight to the studio. No, he didn’t forget his cell phone; he merely remembered he is HOVA and who better to make a concept album about the American Gangster image than himself? Although fellow rappers Common and RZA will get their shine on in the film itself, the unofficial soundtrack to one of the year’s biggest new films will be helmed by Mr. S Dot Carter. The first street single off the project is entitled Blue Magic and produced by Change Clothes collaborator, Pharrell Williams.
FIYA song but damn that dude is getting old that pic does no justice. but with his money it dont matter plus having the baddest chick in the game dont hurt either.
@*#$! is garbage i dont like it at all not a hater i like some of his earlier stuff but this is not it for me. Go back to the booth get a pen and some paper and do it again oh yeah pharell we need better production from you because that’s not going to make the cut. You know how bad that sounds its so bad it could have made the kingdom come album.
This is the song that almost makes you like Jay-Z? Haven’t you heard “encore” or “takeover” of “u don’t know” or hell the entire Blueprint album? This track’s bangin, but it doesn’t even make it into the top ten Jay-Z tracks list.
@*#$! is garbage hate it, hes too much fame and money, thinkn hes al dat, NAS IS MUCH BETR!!!!!!!!!!!!
if pac was alive he wud have took jay of da scene ages ago. hes onli survived cuz pac an biggie dead R.I.P
i thought jay was retired! he gotta get back to makin the beats! i respect the fact that he freestyles his flo in his songs but he look too dam old in that pic
lol yea he do look sick n dat pic....like he finna die or sumthin....musta been on da same diet beyonce was on when she was tryna lose weight for dreamgirls.....haha jk
Blue Magic is better than most at this current state in the game. I DO HOPE FANS REALIZE THIS IS A CONCEPT ALBUM BASED ON THE MOVIE SO HOV IS RECALLING PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN THE MOLD OF DENZEL’S CHARACTER. DONT BE SO CRITICAL ABOUT “WHY IS JAY TALKIN BOUT THE DRUG GAME AGAIN. HES A BUSINESSMAN?” ITS A CONCEPT ALBUM. But yes, this track is fire. i will admit that pharrells production is a little predictable, but it still isnt “Soulja Boy” off in this hoe, ya know.
This song is tough......The beat is hard as rocks....... Jay-Z needed to hop back on the mic bcuz the music industry is missin some realness ......This beat sound like something I would produce......Big ups Ph4real. I LIKE....JUST KEEP IT PUSHIN.
First of all... Jay-Z looks old as hell in that pic! This doesn't sound like Fire Jay to me...he sounds tired on this track like he's not even feeling it...I think its wack! This track isn't getting any spins from this DJ...Corny...
"DJ Blaze",
...only thing corny is ya avatar lol. To ea his own, yes. But cmon son, get real.
And to those making fun of his looks...Cott damn man...you cats judge MC's on looks nowadays?..cmon now..dont even. How bout the late great self proclaimed "black, ugly as ever"...? Ya'll wanna crack "looks" on him too???
men ,jay -z is a lengend nobody can argue that,so he aint gat nothing to prove to no one , but men i aint gona lie to my self and say i am feeling this on the 1st listening , to many good shit out there to be $#$ with concept tracks , risky bussiness , this shit dont cut it for the king of new york (rtd),kanye shoud take a shot at the remix of this track
