+++OFFICIAL JAY Z THREAD+++

[elpablo21]

What was yall favorite Hov album art?

I think I have to go with the blacked out TBA. The limited one that dropped on Black Friday with G-Unit's Beg For Mercy

Best pic I could find without taking a pic of mine

Only because of the BC3's doeee

 

[us3less]

anyone's "Nickel & Dimes" video not playing? or is it just my phone?

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

How dope is this commercial?

 

[feeture]

@us3less My phone has done that on every video. i usuall have to close the app out a couple times for a video to play. itll just show a black screen

 

[booradley]

I am definitely a fan of the new cover art. The "letter" cover was extremely boring and bland. Can't wait to hear this album.

 

[andoneflip]

Tonight will be glorious

 

[Magic33]

That's the official cover art.

Y'all happy now or nah?

I was thinking the same thing

Admittedly I was too young to be aware of the public's reception but what was said when Big L dropped "Devil's Son"?

That's about as blasphemous a rap record as I've ever heard and I don't really see people change their view of him as an artist because of it.

Nothing, There was some talk about it, but he was never popular enough for people to really care. It just added some attention to him.

Even with this, I'm a believer in the people who are going to complain weren't listening to or going to listen to you anyway. They aren't relevant to the hip hop community for their voice to mean anything.

Do people STILL not read the permissions list that these apps ask for?? It says it before you download any app to your phone!! Folks are too busy pressing "Install" a hundred times to stop and see what they're giving up to play Candy Crush.

I love Mike, but he lost for this one.

 

[CUNNiNGH4M]

folks really trippin about app permissions? the damn phone company already giving ur info to the govt anyway... yall some paranoid 9-5 workers who dont do **** illegal... what are you worried about?

 

[jumpman2314]

Anyone know the significant inspiration behind the blocked  out words?

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

He's gonna go by just Shawn Carter after this album..

or maybe this is his last album...

 

[jumpman2314]

[trilluminated]

this man Hov already in a museum..

next to an OG magna carta too, like who does that.

 

[216301baller]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

MIND IS BLOWNNNNNNNNN

 

[antidope]

How do you even pull something like that off?

 

[Figured it out]

Mannnnnn that's ****** amazing

 

[incredibleev]

Anyone know the significant inspiration behind the blocked  out words?

My guess is Basquiat. He would cross out words in his paintings because it would draw more attention to the word. Plus Hov sweats the dude.

 

[gllahone84]

Eurocentric ****

 

[senorroboto2k5]

This is what app users will see at Midnight. (If you have the app this is probably a spoiler)

[216301baller]

[certifiedflyboi23]

I just hope this is better than BP3

 

[swerve]

I have a really good feeling about this album.

I don't wanna hype myself up too much, but I feel a top 5 Jay-Z album coming our way.

the blueprint became even cooler to me once i saw the inspiration for it.  I made a thread about it a few years ago on here

It's from a book by a photographer, Jocelyn Bain Hogg called The Firm

Gangster Dave Courtney named Dodgy (cunning, resourceful) meeting with students at Oxford University. On the table you can see "an instrument of labor."

A series of photographs presented here Jocelin Bain Hogg (Jocelyn Bain Hogg) is called The Firm. Firm – is a large criminal group from the London East End. The pictures show a real British gangster.
In 2007, an exhibition of these works in Moscow. On its opening Hogg had brought one of the bandits and made a master-class on the topic: how to survive shooting mobsters.
