Alright, here we are, last Print cd from my "Blueprint of the Week" series. Here's another simple one, the second tour only release from print, it pulls together some rare tracks, some remix's, some freestles, interviews, ect. By now you should be very familiar with Print and know what to expect, this cd is no exception, just cut after cut of unique Ohio hip hop. As individual music the songs are good enough, but looking at the product as a complete package it def has more of a mixtape feel then album, obviously with the freestyles and remix's sprinkled throughout it loses that cohesive, fresh album vibe. Also just to keep it honest, about half of these songs should have never seen the light of day, most of them you wouldnt be able to tell apart from his freestyles which are also included, not a good sign. weak lyrics and bad songwriting pretty much own the first half of the album, luckily the second half delves in to some gems.

Overall - 2/5

*Final Thoughts

-As I said before, Blueprint is one of my favorite producers and rappers, by now im hoping he's made an impact on you as well, hopefully he finds a few new fans through this. His music go's far beyond what ive posted though, while ive covered most of prints solo work (save for the instrumental version of "1988" which I sadly dont own) there's still a world of music out there that he's a part of. Start with the artist on his Weightless Records roster, 90% of the time Print produces all of the album himself, and the rare times he doesnt he still handles the bulk of it. I would recommend 'Illogic - Celestial Clockwork' which i'll up in the coming days. Also dont sleep on his work with RJD2 as 'Soul Position', RJ on the beats, Print on the rhymes, very illy.
