Just caught the artwork and tracklist for Jay Z’s new album Blueprint 3.

So Jay Z finally did something smart, he got producers NO I.D. and Kanye West to produce the ENTIRE album. I can dig that. Now I need Nas to go get with Dj Premier and knock out that album they were talking about a few years ago.

1. What We Talking About (Produced by Kanye West)
2. D.O.A. (Produced by No I.D.)
3. Weigh Me Down Feat. Kid Cudi (Produced by Kanye West)
4. Unforgiven (Produced by Kanye West, Additional Production: MGMT)
5. Run This Town Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West (Produced by Kanye West)
6. Empire State Of Mind Feat. Nas (Produced by Kanye West & No I.D.)
7. When It Comes To This (Produced by Timbaland)
8. Always Feat. Drake (Produced by Kanye West)
9. Scenes From The Past (Produced by No I.D., Co-produced by Kanye West)
10. Everyday A Star Is Born Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
11. Already Home (Produced by Kanye West)
12. Forever Young Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
13. Thank You (Produced by No I.D.)

Bonus Tracks:
14. Sound Of The 70s (Produced by Kanye West)
15. We Made History (Produced by Kanye West)

So looking at the tracklist, looks like none of the songs that have been dropping for the past year or so are going to be on this album. No Dead Preisdents 3 (D.P.3), No Jocking Jay Z, and No When The Money Goes.

Also looks like some suspect guest appearances. Kid Cudi, Drake, and Mr. Hudson? No dis to none of those artists, but If I’m Jay Z this deep in the game I’m trying to collab with Stevie Wonder, I’ve always had the theory Jay is scared to get beasted on record, that’s why he uses the Roots as his band, but has NEVER done anything with Black Thought? … Can’t wait to check out this record with Jay and Nas though.

Anyway, in case you don’t care what I think, there’s the artwork and tracklist. Blueprint 3 will be in stores on September 11th, 2009.
