Jay-Z has announced he is working on his 11th and final Def Jam album, "The Blueprint 3."

The rapper made the announcement last night (August 6) during a guest appearance on Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour in Madison Square Garden, New York.

During the set West asked the crowd if he could play them a few new beats he had recently recorded in Hawaii, including a track called "Jockin’ Jay-Z," which opened with an Oasis diss.

"That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar
somebody shoulda told him I’m a fucking rock star.
Today is gonna be the day that I’m gonna throw it back to you," he rapped about Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, who recently slammed the organisers of the Glastonbury festival for booking Jay-Z as a headline act.

"The Blueprint 3" is also set to feature another track produced by Kanye West entitled "Brooklyn."

sounds like the fusion between hov and weezy has been gettin this dude back up. kinda like Jordan and Kobe but sooner or later.. althought the mike is his vocal cords and hip hop is his heart beat.. transcending is mandatory.

i knew he was on some bullshit about retiring when he said that shit with the black album
