Details about the album remain sketchy as of press time, but like the original Blueprint, look for Kanye West to play a major role behind the boards.
“Kanye‘s in the process of making a new batch of music that’s going to be phenomenal, and at the end of the day, when it’s ready for the people, we’ll serve it up,”Jay-Z said. “If I don’t have any time constraints…then I’ll be Axl Rose out here. It’ll be 12 years later and we’ll be talking about my Chinese Democracy or something.”
