"I'm definately a Jay-Z fan. I never thought I would give a Jigga album two stars. Don't get me wrong, if you didn't buy the first Blueprint 2 you definitely should buy this album. If Blueprint 2.1 came out first I would have given it 5 stars, but this is simply a repeat of B2. I was hoping the tracks would be remixes or something other than a repeat of B2. If you own a copy of B2, it makes absolutly no sence to buy this album, because you already have these songs except for the 2 bonus/ hidden tracks. Which could have been release separately on a maxi single. The bonus tracks are HOT, but you need to decide if it's worth buying the whole CD just for 2 new tracks."

"The only reason JayZ released this album is becasue he realized he had 2 many wack songs on the double cd. Should have only released 1 cd in the first place. Jayz definately fell off on this album from a classic Blueprint 1 to an average rap album. I was not amused by Jayz's new projects. Jayz needs to reclaim his self next time around better. Perfectly summed up in the words of Common "I can tell how you rap you ain't hungry no more""
Jay- Z Will Always Be Hot

"This cd is just songs from blueprint 2 but the songs on 2.1 are like the hottest songs on blueprint 2. I have all of Jay- Z's cd's because it's something about his voice and his words that make me like all his music. So if you are a Jay-z fan this cd is for you. (the bonus tracks are on fire!!!!!)"
Overall better than BP 2, but still...

"This cut off all the wack stuff from Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 double album, which in my opinion is one of his most uninspired releases ever. However, this still has a lot of filler on it. There's a low point in the middle of the album and if those four songs were cut off, this would be a great 10 track album, and would rival some of Jay's best work (well, not rival, since Reasonable Doubt is classic, but it would be a good album in its own right). My opinion is that one should download Blueprint 2 and make a sick mix with one's own favorite songs. I didn't have this previous knowledge and went out and got 2.1 (not 2, thankfully), but now you have it, so get to it!"
