Poll Question: The Blueprint 3 or Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II?

When two of the biggest Hip-Hop albums of the year (That also happen to be sequels to Hip-Hop classics) drop on the same day, they are bound to get compared. After all the speculation, delays, and hype, both Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II and Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 have officially landed on your local store shelves (Real & Digital). And the talk of the barbershops and comments sections around the world are “Which album is better?”. Well, I hope most of you saw this poll question coming from a mile away, but…
Which album is better?
- Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II? Shit is fire son! (52%, 230 Votes)
- Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3. Hovi baby is kiilling it! (48%, 209 Votes)
Total Voters: 439
I also hope some of you put your money where you mouth was and supported at least one of these albums.



Jay’s album is good…not great, but good. Rae’s joint is a smoker from top to bottom. Rae has the better album tho. This is coming from a certified Jay-Z fan, but been riding with Wu since 92/93. I copped two of each.
Blueprint 3 all the way. alot of ppl here saying OB4CL becase they heard others saying it. i don’t see niggas bumping that no where i mean it and know it. it was tight, but if u listen to hov with that 90’s vs the 2000 statyo will never get it. it different and hot. when u compare mainstream to underground artist ppl always think the ndergrond is better, forgetting that talent took niggas out of underground to mainstream. Rae doesn’t grow with his shit
I can’t believe BP3 is winnin… This shit is starting to bother me how yall playin off mediocre music as good… Smh
if you chose Jay over Ray, you suck at both hip hop and life.
Hov on that new shit, niggas like how come/niggas want my old shit/buy my old album
Niggas stuck on stupid, I gotta keep it moving/Niggas make the same shit, me I make the blueprint
This poll shows why hip hop will never be the same. This shouldn’t even be close.
I guess kids will buy anything that gets advertised.
…unless some youngin’ refreshed the page and voted about 49 times.
Don’t look at me.
No worries, some fans saw sense and now OBFCL2 is in front, the diserved winner
I don’t like either one of these more than Rick Ross, Jada, Slaughterhouse or Eminem. Hell, I don’t know which one I like more than the other out of these two.
Damn saule i thought you knew what you were talking about before that comment.
lol, yeah, cause one comment validates or nullifies someone.
yeah, cuz that deeper than rap album isn’t even close to ob4cl2
I fell asleep listening to OB4CL2.
co sign except for the rick ross album…better than Cubin Linx Pt 2? cmon now saule
OBFCL2 is fire wit it.
Damn it’s at a tie. I seriously thought OB4CL2 would have this from a mile.
Well then…
I gotta go with that Raekwon album. Jay-Z could’ve been better but some of them tracks are iffy and I wished he would have finished the Dead Presidents 3 joint. Personally me I think the Slaughterhouse is overrated, its a good album but I find myself skimming thru songs.
the Blueprint is better
are you on crack?
I gotta admit, even though JAy’s album I’ve listened to like 4 times, and RAys about twice, I think Rays is a hell lot better.
who the fuck is voting for new Jay-Z. That album is AWFUL.
How in the hell is it 50/50? Rae should be killin Jay. Half the people comin to this site don’t know good rap music when they hear it. Jay’s album is alright, but it’s still one of his weakest to date. Rae’s album is so much better than his; the only reason people are voting for Jay is because they’re huge fans of his and are blind from seeing the weaknesses in his album.
OB4CL2 all the way…
i would like to quote the hazardous big L on this poll: “i don’t understand it”. raes album is the best hip hop album in years, better than relapse (i’m white), nas’ untitled album and ghosts fishscale album. rae took some of the hottest producers in history, starting with marley marl, goin on with pete rock, dr dre & the rza, and brought back that wu flavor on the mic, adding few, carefully chosen guests, such as beanie sigel, lox & slick rick, who all do a great job. this is an instant classic, a great concept which was realised with perfectionism.
and jay…should give rae a call and ask for the secret formula.
we need more people like you on here. “i just don’t understand it” sums up about 80% of hip hop these days.
chef kills jay,
BP3 was a waste of my time,
OB4CL2 is so sick.
Yeah that Raekwon album is definitely hot to me. I’m digging the bonus tracks and so forth.
Chef Raekwon
