This will be fun to see!
Cool. I love Smokey. I just read an interview Jay-Z did and Justin got included in a paragraph he said that was really quite a compliment. Here it is:
“This being the end of the trilogy, I wanted to bring it full circle,” he says. “The first ‘Blueprint’ was based on soul samples and more of a place where I came from and the records I listened to growing up with my mom and pop. This ‘Blueprint,’ I liken it to a new classic, simply because we — Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, myself — are becoming the people that we looked up to musically growing up, like Marvin Gaye and Frank Sinatra.”
