Okay..for most Jay-Z fans who loved the classic material from the Blueprint and awaited the same from Blueprint 2 were greatly disappointed.Jay just couldn't hold a double disc like his mentor Biggie or Tupac.Jigga fans were divided as most claimed The Curse Disc was better Than The Gift Disc and vice versa.Well... Mr. Sean Carter decided to put out the best tracks of Blueprint 2,with a few new joints and named it Blueprint 2.1.The album has 14 tracks which you have already heard and 2 hidden tracks.

"Stop" featuring Swizz Beatz is an obvious street banger...with a hook reminiscent to DMX's "Ruff Ryder Anthem"..Jay goes bananas ,spitting punchlines that would make your mama a fan:

In the mirror pointing at your reflection, killing ya-self/

You American Pie..stop feeling ya -self/

 

The other hidden track "Excuse Me Miss(remix)"... is strictly for the clubs.The  Neptunes provide Jay with their most eccentric beat to date and Jay doesn't take no prisoners as he takes subliminal shots at his former Bonnie..(Foxy Brown):

Young, don't mess with chics in burberry patterns/

Fake Manolo boots straight from Steve Madden/

Should one purchase Blueprint 2.1?

Some will find it a dilemma especially if you have already bought Blueprint 2 because you already have 99% of the tracks.However, it would still be a shame for you  not to be able  to bump bangers like "Stop " and "Excuse Me Miss(remix)".
