A new Jay-Z song "Ain't I" leaked onto the Internets yesterday via a DJ Clue mixtape, promising a "Blueprint 3" and claiming Hova paid Timbaland $250,000 for the beat, which, truth be told, is kinda high. The beat's not the star of this one, Jay's rhyming is.
So will "Ain't I" be on "Blueprint 3"? Will "Blueprint 3" be on Def Jam or the "secret label" the blogosphere insists President Carter (can we still call him that?) is starting with Steve Jobs? Hard to say.
One thing for sure, though: The energy Jay picked up working on "American Gangster" continues.
