Blueprint - Respect The Architect.

[The Afronaut]

Album out April 22nd

Title Track video:



I'm feeling this.

[zombie]

if its anything like his last album, I am definitely going to pass.

[Guun]

Well based on the video, let's hope it's a return to form. With a title like 'Respect the Architect', I have a feeling it's going to be more like 1988 than that last jawn.

[Versive]

There's been a lot of ill shit coming out of the Midwest the past few years -- Danny Brown, Quelle Chris, Denmark Vessey, TREE -- but Blueprint is still easily among the best out there. This song's great.

[Combo7]

This song's great.

[PopsUK]

Always liked Blueprint, and this is the kind of shit he sounds best doing. Looking forward to this album.

[Huldrich Bullsh!t]

the science lab scenes remind me a lot of the diabolical album cover. dope song

[ardamus]

hell yeah

[Panama]

I'll always check for Blueprint's albums

Niggas slept on that 1988

[zombie]

I'll always check for Blueprint's albums

Niggas slept on that 1988

no i didnt

what i didnt sleep on and wish i did was that last album.

[samdoom]

the album is real dope. a return to form for print. he's doin a pay what you want option on the digital version which is always dope too.

[Dids]

AFter a run of maybe buying 3 albums a year, this makes like 4 (Tui, Atmosphere, OME) that I'm going to cop in the next month or so. Yay hip-hops.

[Versive]

Tui, Atmosphere, OME)

Your taste in music is soft as shit, though. You know that, right? I like OME and Blueprint a lot too. Just saying.

[Dids]

No, I'm totally fucking unaware of what kind of music I enjoy, but now that you've let me know I'll make sure to change my tastes so that I can fit in with the ignorant shithead crowd. That's way more important than actually like, enjoying stuff.

What the fuck kind of asshole listens to music to impress other people?

(and yeah- I'm a middle class 37 year old white guy with cats, of fucking course I'm soft and the music I like the most is stuff I can relate to.)

[zombie]

this is ok.

[Versive]

(and yeah- I'm a middle class 37 year old white guy with cats, of fucking course I'm soft and the music I like the most is stuff I can relate to.)

I was just fucking with you. Well played though.

[Dids]

Amusingly after a few listens I think "too soft" might be a valid critique of this album. Everything is technically very good, but it just lacks a little punch. As the last guy on earth left buying music, I'm slightly annoyed by how short this is.

[Neuro]

GREAT ALBUM as whole

this is the blueprint i like, boombap print, and sounds like hes thrown a lil freestyleabstractjazzness into his boombap now

i like this a lot

[Philaflava]

Album is right up there for me with 1988. This release is getting lost among the plethora of other recent releases, but it's really good. Short, yeah but I think its consistent all the way through so I rather that than a long album where I skip 4-5 tracks anyway. Nothing is skipable on here. Album is real honest, real clean and the production is right up there with the lyrics.

[Neuro]

its perfectly sequenced, the track order is flawless

perfect for vinyl and tapes

[Random Sample]

I wish more people would put out short albums. I would rather hear 10 really good songs without all the bullshit cut out, than getting an album with 16-20 songs and I skip half of them.

Loving this album too.

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to touch base and tell you that I won't be participating in this thread. I hope it's ok that I sit this one out. :)

[GhostDog]

I liked this a lot. I liked's Blueprints experimentation on this last two joints, but I liked see him return back to 100% hip-hop.
Title track is dope as hell.

[observe911]

Saw him live a few weeks ago..I was there cuz it was my boys show..wasnt feeling blue prints music..kinda for the white crowd.,the dude count bass d who opened up for him was better,,I could actually dance with my girl to his music,,I couldn't dance to blue prints performance...not enough soul

[Neuro]

haha what

i have never seen any one "dance" at a show

go for it though, i guess

[Neuro]

album has been in heavy rotation since i got it

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

I spoke with Print for OC Weekly about the new album, the 10th anniversary of 1988, as well as the completed unreleased Orphanage album from the early 2000s - http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentalit ... albums.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
