Critically acclaimed mc/producer and Soul Position frontman Blueprint, returns with his highly anticipated sophomore solo release Adventures in Counter-Culture. Experimenting with synths, keyboards, and drum machines, Adventures in Counter-Culture touches on Blueprint's cynicism with the world, his disdain for pop culture, the state of politics and an apathetic, uninspired society. The album encompasses every facet of music Blueprint knows. It blurs genre lines and connects his hip hop pedigree with his early days in the church choir, to the R&B bands he was a part of in high school, to his new found interest in rock and electronic music.

After a five year musical journey, Blueprint has emerged with his greatest effort to date. A culmination of self discovery and societal critique, Adventures in Counter-Culture is just that. The adventure begins March 1st, 2011.

This is good news.  This is a good song.  I'm looking forward to the album.

Real dope song and video Print, cant wait for this release.

i saw that print was getting some love on the sage francis' message board…and most of the dudes on there are the biggest haters when it comes to good rap.

 

i thought that was worth noting.

I was looking on the thread you posted and I noticed somebody said something I have thought myself several times.

If you search "rapper Blueprint," then you will find plenty of stuff from the guy from Ohio. Take this as a lesson in search engine optimization – http://printmatic.net/index.php/tag/rapper-blueprint – BAM! It's likely if people know how to properly search something that they will find him.

 

Can more be done? Hell yeah. It's all about keywords, keyWORDS, KEYWORDS!

Yeah, this definitely works in a search engine.  On amazon, ebay, etc. not so much.  That's why I was saying I didn't have the same trouble as the person in the thread who mentioned google searches.

 

If you type rapper blueprint into amazon with the search set on Music.  I did get Illogic Got Lyrics but no actual Blueprint releases.  And then oddly no Jay-z, but Fabolous Loso's Way.

 

Type that in Ebay and nothing comes up.  Type Blueprint and of course tons of Jay-Z stuff comes up. Even after narrowing the search to just hip-hop almost all that showed up was Jay and E-40 blueprint of a self-made millionaire.

 

So unless you search on those sites with a particular album release name in mind it makes it a pain in the ass to search.

 

While those who are keen to underground hip-hop sensibilities would be using searches and also buying goods on sites where Blueprint's info is more readily available (fifthelementonline, giantpeach, etc.), this relies on someone's search acumen.  More casual listeners and purchasers of music who would not know that much about Blueprint if going on more mainstream retailers (amazon) may have difficulty finding material by him or distinguishing what was truly his material from everything else plastered on the screen with their search returns.  So I'm just saying it still is a deterrent to Blueprint info accessiblity for purchasing anyway

TURRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNCE!

Should probably sticky this so it doesn't get pushed to the bottom of the pile.
