DAX Honors Eminem on JAY-Z’s “Blueprint 2” Remix, Teases “Till I Collapse” Remix as Next Project
Canadian rapper DAX, renowned for his reverence for Eminem, has unveiled his latest offering, a freestyle remix titled “Blueprint 2,” originally by JAY-Z from his 2002 album bearing the same name.
“The Blueprint 2” holds significant historical relevance within hip-hop, emerging amidst a pivotal moment marked by the intense rivalry between JAY-Z and Nas, characterized by their diss tracks “Takeover” and “Ether” respectively. While “Takeover” was hailed as the victor within the Roc-A-Fella camp, “Ether” garnered attention for its confrontational nature.
Crafted by Charlemagne and featuring a sample from Ennio Morricone’s “The Ecstasy of Gold,” “Blueprint 2” served as JAY-Z’s response to “Ether.” It showcased a more emotive and potent performance, adding fuel to the ongoing feud between the two rap titans, a significant chapter in hip-hop’s storied history.
