Its release was set a week earlier than initially planned in order to combat bootlegging. Recording sessions for the album took place during 2001 at Manhattan Center Studios and Baseline Studios in New York City. Contrasting the radio-friendly sound of Jay-Z's previous work, The Blueprint features soul-based sampling and production handled primarily by Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Bink, as well as Timbaland, Trackmasters, and Eminem, who also contributes the album's sole guest feature. At the time of the album's recording, Jay-Z was awaiting two criminal trials, one for gun possession and another for assault, and had become one of hip hop's most dissed artists, receiving insults from rappers such as Nas, Prodigy, and Jadakiss.[1][1] The album is also famous for both its producers Kanye West and Just Blaze's breakouts as major producers. Kanye West produced four of the thirteen tracks on the album, including the songs "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" and the controversial "Takeover," which included diss lyrics aimed at rappers Nas and Prodigy, while Just Blaze produced three tracks, "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Song Cry", and "U Don't Know", also including the hidden bonus track "Breathe Easy (Lyrical Exercise)". The Blueprint received universal acclaim from music critics, with praise being directed at Jay-Z's lyricism and the production. It is considered one of his best albums and has also been labeled as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Despite its release coinciding with the September 11 attacks, it sold over 427,000 copies in its opening week and debuted at number one in the US, holding the spot for three weeks. It was later certified double-platinum by the RIAA for selling two million copies. In 2019, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[2] It is the first recording from the 21st century and most recent to be selected by the Registry overall. BackgroundThe Blueprint was reportedly cut in two weeks, with Jay-Z allegedly writing the lyrics in two days.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}} At the time, he was awaiting two criminal trials for gun possession and assault. He was also engaged in feuds with various rappers such as Jadakiss, Fat Joe and in particular Nas and Mobb Deep member Prodigy. In the song "Takeover", Jay-Z attacks the two Queensbridge rappers, using a sample of the song "Five to One" by The Doors[4] and an interpolation of David Bowie's "Fame".[3] On The Blueprint, Jay-Z and his producers used vintage soul as inspiration, including a vocal sample on almost every track from such artists as Al Green, Bobby "Blue" Bland, David Ruffin and The Jackson 5. Exceptions include "Jigga That Nigga," "Hola Hovito," and "Renegade," a track produced by and featuring the rapper Eminem, and the only track on the album featuring another rapper on verses. Blueprint Lounge TourIn late August, Jay-Z announced a September–October tour in small venues.[4] Because of the September 11 attacks occurring on the same day the album was released, the first two performances were rescheduled. Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were subsequently added, and Jay-Z donated a dollar of the cost of every ticket sold from the tour to relief organizations.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 88, which indicates "universal acclaim", based on 12 reviews.[5] Upon its release, The Blueprint was hailed by Vibe magazine as Jay-Z's best album[16] as well as the best album of the year, while The Source awarded The Blueprint a perfect 5-mic rating, a distinction reserved for hip hop classics.[17] Nathan Rabin called it Jay-Z's "strongest, tightest, most consistent album since his legendary debut, 1996's Reasonable Doubt."[18]The popularity and commercial success of The Blueprint established Kanye West and Just Blaze as two of hip hop's most celebrated producers. Furthermore, The Blueprint signaled a major stylistic shift in hip hop production towards a more Soulcentric and sample-reliant sound, creating a number of imitators who attempted to emulate the album's atmospheric style. Prior to The Blueprint, mainstream hip-hop producers had largely eschewed music sampling in favor of the keyboard-driven Timbaland sound (characterized by a shifting, syncopated rhythm, similar to samba or jungle music), due to the financial and legal issues associated with copyright laws. The Blueprint, however, revived musical sampling as a common practice in hip hop music and dislodged the digital keyboard-driven production style as the dominant sound in hip-hop music.[19] Kanye West would later incorporate some of the production and sampling techniques he used on this album into his own solo albums. Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "One of the greatest poets ever to pick up a mic released his magnum opus in 2001. One retirement and one un-retirement later, it's still his finest hour."[20]In 2003, The Blueprint was ranked number 464 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time;[21] in a revised list in 2012, it was ranked number 252.[22] Pitchfork named The Blueprint the second best album of 2000–2004, and in 2010, it ranked fifth on their Top 200 Albums of the 2000s list.[23] It is ranked at number 4 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Best Albums of the 2000s".[24] The album received a perfect "XXL" rating from XXL magazine in a 2007 retrospective article.[25] The Blueprint was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[26] AccoladesAlbum of the Year
Commercial performanceIn spite of its release coinciding with the 9/11 attacks, The Blueprint sold over 427,000 copies in its opening week,[34] becoming Jay-Z's fourth consecutive album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. It was certified double platinum as sales stand at over two million units in the U.S.[35][36] Sales as of February 2012 (more than ten years after the attacks) stand at 2.7 million.[37] Track listing{{tracklist| extra_column = Producer(s) | title1 = The Ruler's Back | writer1 = {{hlist|Shawn Carter|Roosevelt Harrell III|Phill Hurtt|Walter Sigler}} | note1 = | extra1 = Bink | length1 = 3:50 | title2 = Takeover | writer2 = {{hlist|Carter|Kanye West|Eric Burdon|Lawrence Parker|Alan Lomax|Bryan Chandler|Rodney Lemay|Jim Morrison|John Densmore|Robby Krieger|Ray Manzarek}} | note2 = | extra2 = Kanye West | length2 = 5:13 | title3 = Izzo (H.O.V.A.) | writer3 = {{hlist|Carter|West|Berry Gordy|Alphonso Mizell|Freddie Perren|Deke Richards}} | note3 = | extra3 = Kanye West | length3 = 4:00 | title4 = Girls, Girls, Girls | writer4 = {{hlist|Carter|Justin Smith|Tom Brock|Robert Relf}} | note4 = | extra4 = Just Blaze | length4 = 4:35 | title5 = Jigga That Nigga | writer5 = {{hlist|Carter|Jean-Claude Oliver|Samuel Barnes}} | extra5 = Poke & Tone | length5 = 3:24 | title6 = U Don't Know | writer6 = {{hlist|Carter|Smith|Bobby Byrd}} | note6 = | extra6 = Just Blaze | length6 = 3:19 | title7 = Hola' Hovito | writer7 = {{hlist|Carter|Timothy Mosley}} | note7 = | extra7 = Timbaland | length7 = 4:33 | title8 = Heart of the City (Ain't No Love) | writer8 = {{hlist|Carter|West|Michael Price|Dan Walsh}} | note8 = | extra8 = Kanye West | length8 = 3:43 | title9 = Never Change | writer9 = {{hlist|Carter|West|Robert Miller, Jr.}} | note9 = | extra9 = Kanye West | length9 = 3:59 | title10 = Song Cry | writer10 = {{hlist|Carter|Smith|Douglas Gibbs|Ralph Johnson}} | note10 = | extra10 = Just Blaze | length10 = 5:04 | title11 = All I Need | writer11 = {{hlist|Carter|Harrell|Michael D.

Bonus tracksAs with Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter, Jay-Z put two hidden bonus tracks at the end of the final track. "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)" is 3:41 by itself. Twenty-five seconds of silence follows after and the bonus track "Breathe Easy (Lyrical Exercise)" begins. That song fades and is immediately followed by "Girls, Girls, Girls (Part 2)". It is reported{{by whom|date=December 2018}} that the latter song features uncredited vocals by Michael Jackson. The final track as a whole is 12:07. On the iTunes Store, however, these bonus tracks are released as separate tracks, thus making the album 15 tracks long. On the vinyl edition, there are no long gaps between the songs, but they are not printed on the back of the album jacket or record label. Personnel{{col-start}}{{col-2}}
