With enraptured eyes we’ve been following the development of rap mogul Jay-Z’s forthcoming The Blueprint 3, partly because it’s a sequel (err, threequel?) to probably his biggest record ever and also because, like an horrific car-wreck on the side of the road, we just can’t help but watch as Jay-Z overloads his LP with a slew of big name guests.

Last week we reported that Empire Of The Sun’s resident diva Luke Steele would be providing vocals for The Blueprint 3’s opening track and now we’ve got confirmation of just that as the album’s official tracklisting has hit the web.

Steele’s collaboration with Jigga, What We Talkin’ About, leads off the feature-heavy record alongside the likes of Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Rihanna and Pharrell among others.

Curiously though, Jay’s much buzzed about collaboration with MGMT is nowhere to be found on the tracklist below, and unless their contribution is a vocal-less one it looks as though they’ve been given the boot in favour of Steele’s EOTS charm. Don’t stress too much though as MGMT are confirmed as feature guests on Kid Cudi’s upcoming LP.

1. “What We Talkin’ About” (featuring Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun)
2. “Thank You”
3. “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”
4. “Run This Town” (featuring Kanye West and Rihanna)
5. “Empire State of Mind” (featuring Alicia Keys)
6. “Real As it Gets” (featuring Young Jeezy)
7. “On to the Next One” (featuring Swizz Beatz)
8. “Off That” (featuring Drake)
9. “A Star is Born” (featuring J. Cole)
10. “Venus vs. Mars”
11. “Already Home” (featuring Kid Cudi)
12. “Hate” (featuring Kanye West)
13. “Reminder”
14. “So Ambitious” (featuring Pharrell)
15. “Young Forever” (featuring Mr Hudson)

In related news, the flashy video clip for the album’s second single, Run This Town featuring Kanye West and Rihanna, has debuted online and it’s supremely ridiculous. Check it below.
