I agree with most of this except the second part.You so right b. Kemba is bent over, with his mouth open like he's ready to recieve from both ends. Hence the combo. But not just a combo, a combo from a couple of Gangsta Disciples (combo gd) drilling him hence drill music. Stay woke. Or atleast upright.
But the black n mildOP, ya still analyzing album covers? Can you do this one? What am I missing? It's not Jay-Z, but please analyze. Thanks! =)
The "melrose" represents white people as in "melrose place" in the background...always looming over...green like money. Notice how the stop sign is facing the other direction. This is because the white people will not stop.
He knows that he is just a tool used by white people to influence the urban youth....he is not black and strong...but rather black and mild...hence the cigar he is smoking.
He also knows that what hes saying is not the real truth hence the car exhaust smoke strategically placed very clearly symbolizing that hes "blowing smoke out of his ***"

Put a penis in his hands
The cigar symbolizes the penis. He is holding another penis in his hand. The letters below show "can you feel me" which is the question that HE is asking the public.
Dru Down. The Down represents the Down Low. He's wearing the Bred Jordan 11s. Bred (Bread) is a term for money. Dru is on the Down (Low) for money. The 11 Jordan = 1 1. Each "1" in the number 11 represents the a penis. The first being the cigar, and the second being the imaginary one in his hands.
Where is he standing? In the Cross Walk. On the WHITE line. Cross Walk...Cross Dress. Dru is on the Down (low) for BREAD, cross dressing trying to cross the line into acceptance from whites
Y'all are ridiculous
TIP can also be an acronym for The Invisible Penis that is in his hand on the album cover.
His beanie is also COCKed to one side.
Put a penis in his hand
TI is holding the wood to his mouth.
What is T.I wearing? camoflauge...
What is camoflauge associated with? The Army..
What is the Army's code? don't ask don't tell...
TI is trying to tell us something without actually telling us something.
The man in the back with his hands up. I'll just take a quote from the wise Cameron Giles..."I'm on the west side of Chicago looking for a bust down to make me put my two hands up...touch down."
TI is making dude in the back out his two hands up like a touch down, because he, in fact, is touching down

The "gd" in his username is clearly for guard.
OP is telling us he's a combo guard. Plays both positions.
Add a penis to that and it means he plays both positions. Top and Bottom.
Now let's go through some of the characteristics of combo guards.
For one, they are great ball handlers. Self explanatory.
Second, they can get their "shot" off in multiple ways.
Combo guards can penetrate and suck in the D resulting in an easy "shot" for others.
Combo guards can also hang around the perimeter and kill the opposition with their long stroke.
Not sure if OP is also a 3 and D guy but that's a story for another day.
#staywoke
Ima b serious cuz i 50% think op is serious.
Again....i have nothing wrong with the center of your theory here.....jay z has been used by whomever to influence urban youth and there are hidden meanings in his lyrics or something....
Not saying i believe it....but i imagine some people would listen to it.
But the whole penis thing.
Dont u see how that is detrimental to the validity of your whole conspiracy theory?
Like if u broke it down to some people and at the end u were like "oh and by the way jay z is holding imaginary penises on the covers of most if his albums and in some cases more than one penis"
U dont see how ridiculous that is lol?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Persian poetry (or haven’t attended a yoga class or wedding ceremony lately), Rumi is how most folks refer to the 13th century Persian poet, Jalal al-Din Rumi, a Sufi master (Sufism is a mystical strain within Islam). TMZ highlighted one of his poems as the inspiration behind the name “Sir.”
Bring the pure wine of
love and freedom.
But sir, a tornado is coming.
More wine, we’ll teach this storm
A thing or two about whirling.
Poetry is a big deal for Persians. These are people who crack open a book at random and read aloud a line as if it’s a fortune, who recite prose at family get-togethers. President Barack Obama quoted some of Rumi’s fellow mystic poets, Hafez and Saadi, in his annual Persian new year message for a reason. Giving your kids poetic names is an extremely Persian thing to do.
Jay-Z dropped his new solo album “4:44” last week. I’d like to highlight verse two from track nine, “Marcy Me.”
Marcy me
Streets is my artery, the vein of my existence
I’m the Gotham City heartbeat
I started in lobbies, now parley with Saudis
Sufi to the goofies, I could probably speak Farsi
That’s poetry, read a coca leaf from my past
Came through the bushes smellin’ like roses
I need a trophy just for that
Okay, so Jay-Z references Sufi poetry, which again, Rumi et al. But he also raps the word “Farsi,” which is next level — he does not say “Persian,” which is usually how people refer to the language when speaking English.
Oh, and that reading the coca leaves from his past thing references his drug-dealing days, but I’m going to mark a half-point here because it’s a play on reading tea leaves (tea is also a hugely important aspect in Persian culture, and reading leaves is kind of a thing). The “came through the buses smellin’ like roses” line is a likely a play on the “come up smelling like roses” idiom, but I’m marking it down, too, because Persians love roses so much that they put rosewater in all of their desserts.
Sorry to ruin this, but when you read poetry by Jalal al-Din Rumi or any other Sufi figure's poems, the wine is not literal, and Layla is not actually a woman. It is quite a depressing realisation to witness great Sufis such as Rumi become reduced to drunkards raving about their current love partners or unable to get over losing their past ones. This is precisely what modern pop culture's misappropriation of Sufi poetry about love has done.
Two words... "OH BOY" pun intended
What is he holding? The Sledgehammer.
Let's replace the sledgehammer with a penis.
Look at the placement of the HEAD of the hammer. It's on the fire. It's burning. However, he is wearing gloves/protection
Idk about y'all but take a look at this picture

Notice how Kemba Walker looks to be in a position where he is bending over?
A considerable amount of research has concluded that sexually suggestive content is pervasive in the media. The most common type of sexually suggestive content in adolescent programming is in the form of a sexual innuendo. Sexual innuendoes give a suggestive alternative meaning to an otherwise neutral phrase. For example, the use of the phrase "bend over backwards" when describing a colleague, in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, is used by the main character Barney to imply something in both a figurative sense (i.e. that she is willing to work hard) and a suggestive sense (alluding to her flexibility in sexual positions). Content analyses of sexual behavior in the media found that sexual content on television has risen from 45% in 1975 to 81% now.[48] 83% of all programs on television contain sexual content.[49][5 80% of programs contain sexually suggestive references, and 49% of shows contain sexual behavior which include flirting.
Sexual content in the form of innuendo, suggestive imagery and double entendre is used as a tool in advertising.[52] Suggestive advertising is used to draw in attention,[53] by monopolizing attentional resources, and as a means of distinguishing their products from similar products which are usually advertised in the same medium (such as in the same magazine).[53] Furthermore, advertisers use sexually suggestive material to imply an association between their product and benefits which are in some way related to sex (such as mate attraction).[54] There was a significant increase in the amount of advertisements from 1983 to 2003 which used sexually suggestive images of models,[53] suggesting that advertisers are finding it beneficial. While the physical properties of the model are the most sexually suggestive, a number of non-verbal communicative features have also been identified as being provocative, such as the models pose (plumped lips, cocked head to show the neck) as well as verbal communicative features such as suggestive comments.[54]
Jay z never uttered 1 fake verse.
Give me an example.
Ill wait
