why are you guys hating on the features like they make or break the album. the point of the cd is jay is on every track. you also got people hating on the length of it.
illmatic was 9 songs and an into with “no famous guest appearances”. did it make it less hot?

I like the album cover, but it’s not JAY’z STYLE….This is more KANYE’S or Lupe’s sort of STYLE of album art….Kanye is the type to some ARTISTIC shit for his album cover…Like I said it’s hot, but not Jay’s STYLE

Jay supposed to be on the cover in a suit with a big ass cigar in his mouth or some shit like that…Some Boss type shit….Still hot tho, but not Jay…


I’d bet my life saving’s on the fact that KANYE influenced this album art…just like he INFLUENCED DOA

For real the track list looks ILL AS FUCK

We already know these Kanye beats are gonna be sick. I wonder what Drake is bringing to the album. I’m sure Nas will rip it. This is a really sick album and I’m sure he’s gonna address a few things that need to be said.

skeazaleo7 months ago
the fact the everybody knows the cover means SOMETHING, but nobody knows WHAT will make the album even hotter because everybody is going to be trying to figure out what jay is trying to SAY with the album art and how it fits in to the whole album concept and all….

he gonna get alot of hype for it because everybody gonna come with they own interpretation and you already know the more people you get talking about your shit…the better…

His shit gonna sell regardless, but the whole CURIOUSITY thing is gonna push it even further…

People gonna pick up this album in stores like I wonder WTF jay is talking about on this one…and you know what that means..CHING CHING!

I mean people (mostly himself…lol) be callin this guy a musical GENIUS??

Be real…Take a look at his album covers…Then go and watch how the style of his videos has progressed and changed ova the years…All his shit seems really “creative” and far out right?

Kanye uses these album covers and tripped out videos to make himself seem DEEPER than he really is….and guess what the public EATS THAT SHIT UP…

So maybe he is a genius, cuz that shit works to perfection for him…??

Either way JAY is trying to do the same thing, make his shit seem SOOOO DEEEP, when it really aint nothing but a pile of fuckin BULLSHIT ass instruments with three stripes across it…lol


by the way I’m not hating..I LOVE creativity, and I hate when ppl all do the same thing, I’m just making a point…

Jay just letting the NEW SCHOOL of cats get a turn to shine…

PLUS he knows that these NEW CATS…(drake CUDI) are about to take over soon…He has to adapt with the times…

Thats why jay is successful, he not stuck in the 90’s like alot of rappers from the 90’s era…gotta keep it movin….

i guess jay is gunna let Kanyes eye for talent & music carry most of this album…he is producing or co-producing the bulk…he has Cudi & Mr. Hudson on tracks.. it almost feels like a Kanye album with vocals by Jay-Z…. like a collabo album… which is fine by me..i like them both & im gunna buy it just for the mere fact of all the Kanye production. and major props for getting MGMT to co produce a track…for hip hop heads who dont know them..theyre ill

me 2 hedge, On a mixtape or Cudi’s album, not on the sacred Blueprint! The album,IMO, should be no features and a lil less ye’! Not too many people,including Cudi, get deep in their raps like jay! hearing cudi on that collab prob gon be hot when it 1st drop, then after a while ima be listening to his simple verse waiting for jay spit again! Im already tired of hearing Kanyes straightforward punchline/jokes on Run This Town! Jay spit deep tho! Bp3 should be jay showcasing,well, showcasing JAy!
