The Blueprint 3
by Jay-Z
Marking a distinct pivot toward polished, stadium-sized mainstream appeal, this album concludes his legendary 'Blueprint' trilogy. Driven by massive pop crossovers like 'Empire State of Mind' and heavily synthesized production from Kanye West and Timbaland, the record saw the rapper aggressively aiming for radio dominance. Despite some critical division regarding its commercial sheen, it secured his eleventh number-one album, breaking Elvis Presley's record.
