Hip-Hop: April 2008 Archives

Blueprint is a hometown hero here in Bustown, and he's a genuine talent behind the boards and on the mic, and anytime he releases new music, it's an event.

So, imagine my excitement when I received this email yesterday afternoon.

We are starting the preorders for the Blueprint vs Funkadelic CD. There are only 500 copies of the actual CD version of this release. The CD is $7.99 and will come with a 11x17 poster of the artwork and all the instrumentals. Pre-orders will be shipped out Thursday night (or first thing Friday depending on the order volume) and should arrive 2-3 days later depending on how far from Ohio you are.

For those of you wondering how you will get a copy of this release with when there's only 500 copies of it don't worry, starting next week on the release date there will be select websites that will make this album FREE to download on Tuesday, April 29th (specific sites to be announced later). The downloadable version will not include the instrumentals.

Exactly 8 minutes later I received an email receipt from CCNow. So, there are definitely not more than 499 copies left. Better act fast.

(There's even a YouTube preview right here.)

Their last album displayed amazing musicianship, but was kinda weak on the song-writing front. Black Thought sounded like he was sleeping through some of the sessions.

This sounds much better.
