reception
At Allmusic , Matt Rinaldi called the album a "darker counterpart" to Jay-Z's blueprint albums. The album is decidedly "anti-pop" and incompatible with commercial radio. He awarded four out of five stars. Four out of five points were awarded on the hiphopdx.com website. Sean Ryon called Tha Blaqprint an “extremely well done” hip-hop album, and the honesty of the lyrics and the production, which is reminiscent of the “golden years” of hip-hop, was praised.
