Last April, Jay Z's 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt disappeared from Spotify, as Bloomberg reported at the time. In recent months, Jay's three Blueprint albums have also gone missing from Spotify. Reasonable Doubt and the Blueprint albums are also no longer available via Apple Music, iTunes, and Amazon's digital music store. A Spotify spokesperson told Pitchfork in a statement, "Jay Z's Blueprint albums have not been available on any streaming service except Tidal for a few months now. We hope he brings them back soon so that his millions of fans on Spotify can enjoy them again." Update (3/16, 11:20 p.m.): Jay Z's discography is still streaming on internet radio service Pandora, according to a representative from the company.

Searches showed all four albums were also absent from Google Play Music as of press time, while 2009's The Blueprint 3 was gone from the list of his albums on Rhapsody.

Of course, Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint 3, along with 2001's The Blueprint, 2002's The Blueprint 2, and the rest of Jay's discography continue to be available on his Tidal streaming service.

Many of the songs from the omitted albums continue to be available on non-Tidal services through compilations such as 2010's The Hits Collection, Vol. One. And all of Jay's non-Blueprint, non-Reasonable Doubt albums are widely available.

Pitchfork has reached out to Tidal and Jay's Roc Nation for comment. Apple Music directed Pitchfork's inquiries to Roc Nation. Pitchfork has also reached out to Rhapsody and Google Play Music.
