![]() That accident of scheduling has always been a part of the myth of The Blueprint. ![]() You might’ve just witnessed a generational horror, but you could still throw Jay on your headphones and feel indestructible. If a new Jay-Z album was out, then you went and bought that shit immediately. The world had changed, but some things remained unquestioned. On that calamitous morning, when people didn’t know if New York was under attack or the world was ending or what, people still found their ways to record stores or Best Buys, and they still bought The Blueprint. Jay-Z’s opus wasn’t supposed to come out on September 11, but Jay was worried about bootleggers - he was always worried about bootleggers - and so he moved up the album release a week. I know multiple people who woke up one Tuesday morning, watched from windows or Brooklyn rooftops as the second plane hit and the World Trade Center fell, and then went out and bought The Blueprint.
