looks like some classic Jay cover
you're right! looks serious.
Boy yall niggas kill me jay couldve been standing in his boxers yall wouldve call it a classic cover please explain to me how is this a classic cover
cause it goes along with the theme of his album...it looks like a mafia scene out of a movie or something
It looks like a mixtape cover for American Gangster. It's taken from a scene in the movie where Denzel shoots up a restaurant. C'mon you've seen the trailer for the movie right...right????
I dont understand Y niggas is hatin. Jay was the man b4 retirement and he is still the man. I'm not saying that every song he ever made was hot, I'm just saying give credit where credit is due.
You roight give credit when credits due but don't give credit when its not and that's what niggas still doing give credit for what jays done in the past.
Shit gone be wack heard a couple of snippets already he's tryna take it back and its sounds horrible. & he's trying to make the album sound like a movie! Shit prolly gone take Jay Z out da game!
dats tight but i think tha albulm should b called Americas Hustler cause he definetly one but a gangster is mutha fuckas like Cosa Nostra, Al Capone Bugsy Siegal, not Jay-Z
tha shit is tight
Could Be The Cover Or A Pic Inside The Booklet.
ill pic fits the vintage gangsta theme perfectly
that shit is Crack....
Jay looks Like a mothafuckin Don
its a nice pic
I don't know if I'm more pumped about the movie or the soundtrack. I not a Jay-z fan but I can already tell this shit is gonna be tight.
NOT THE SOUND TRACK
WHOA! 4th quarter is a problem...GOOD LUCK ALICIA KEYS!!
Ima buy her shyt too! :0)
haha ight cosignin dat th quarter is gna b str8 bananas
damm...talk bout the grand entrance of a DON..or sum type of power figure...mutha look hard ass fuck...BIG UP Jay...u still doing ur thing....MAKE THAT money my NIG..peace
THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BE GARBAGE! GUARANTEED!
BLUE MAGIC IS TRASH! AND THATS THE LEAD SINGLE!
JAY IS FINISHED BUT MOST OF YALL GONNA BUY IT ANYWAY AND ARGUE THAT ITS HOT WHEN DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW ITS NOT!
^^^
I wouldn't say the Album will be garbage, but that Blue Magic song ain't hot at all...
But like I said before, it's all Politics, the sad part is No One will tell Jay that the song is Wack. Jay is in a dangerous situation. Plus he's from N.Y., so you know they will suck on some balls to bring N.Y. back!!!
Yo Blue Magic is good...it aint a smash BUT u know Jay aint lettin this one roll ALONE...he got a 2nd one coming that will SMASH THA GAME!
promotion is set early...U KNOW!
The ones who sayin its not hot is the WAYNE FANS! especially the gay azz nyggaz who said PROSTITUTE WAS FIRE...(U KNOW WHO U R...)...sayin Blue Magic is wack
IT IS WHAT IT IS! If u a teenager...U DONT EVEN REALLY KNOW HIP HOP! Majority at least...every nygga under 18 feel Wayne the best cuz yall Lost!
AMERICAN GANGSTER NOV 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im a Jay fan and I've been a Wayne fan for 10 years now, and I can't lie im feelin that Blue Magic. That's sumthin I can chill by myself and listen to real loud in the winter time.
I don't know why but all of Jay's music just sounds better to me when it's cold outside, I guess it's just me.

Who are you to say what hip hop is its dead cause niggas don't wanna listen to the mobno tone bullshit jay hot don't get me wrong but niggas to afraid to admit that he's done cause of what he's done previous he don't spit the same its not good blue magic the only hot part on he song is the begining. Other then that the shits stupid o and iam no wayne head either the realest is NAS deal wit it pussies
at hateme, man im 18 and i know that big L is the greatest rapper to have ever came along, then yall can have your pac/big/pun/nas arguments the list is like this for RAPPING not hip hop
1 BIG L
2 nas-big-pac-jay-pun
then there the rest of the game
NEW YORK DIDNT GO ANY WHERE ITS A STATE NOT A PERSON! 50 CENT IS FROM NEW YORK AND IS LIKE THE HIGHEST SELLING ARTIST WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING BRING NY BACK?...ANYWAY JAY IS FINISHED BLUE MAGIC IS GARBAGE THE LAST ALBUM WAS GARBAGE WHEN ARE ALL OF YOU GOING TO ADMIT IT?
Blue Magic isn't hott to most of yall because yall either can't relate... or because it doesn't have instructions to it...meaning it ain't a fucking commercial dance tune!

Yo, disagreelos1, he's talking about selling dope. Use your mind and u can relate to what he is saying, even if u never sold drugs. I know u'r smart. U can see what he is saying.
Nah I can't relate to selling drugs cause I never done it before but iam pertty sure everone on this site has I wish u can hear the sarcasim in my voice but y talk about when your 1 on forbes now I can relate to the struggle this man o through and what he's done to get there that's what he sould talk about
^
Yall talk bout how blue magic isnt hot but yet its still better than all the other crap that comes on the radio and other singles that rappers choose. Be happy with that.
mj23 you right every dude in the south is on the shit' get your own identity (like Hova). This guy is the greatest rapper, ceo, falantrapist, designer & has one of the baddest chics.----For HOVA this is eeeaassyyy!
this cd gonna be official looking at the cover reminds me of the return of the mac concept if you dont like JAY-Z then you dont know rap and under roCC
co-sign
just cuz of som young fool came along and claimed 2 be the best rapper alive, these lame niggaz now think that jigga don fell off......niggaz need 2 listen 2 music nd jigga makes music
PLEASE TELL ME WHATS HOT ABOUT BLUE MAGIC? Wiz10l
KEEP IN MIND IM A 29 YEAR OLD MAN FROM NY I AM NOT A SNAP MUSIC FAN WHO LIKES TO DANCE AROUND LIKE A ROACH ON THE WALL SO PLEASE DONT PUT ME IN THAT CATEGORY PLEASE THANK YOU
NOW TELL ME 3 HOT LINES FROM BLUE MAGIC.....
OH AND THE BEAT IS WHACK AND PHARREL SINGING ON IT IS WHACK ASWELL.....
True, true...........although the only thing that I don't care for is Pharrell on the hook. Hov can go on and keep dat.........i can't even smoke like dat. But other than that this concept joint should be fire.
Hov hasn't lost it, just made a few missteps wit his comeback, don't hate, respect grown men doin grown man thangs.
Yo Blue Magic is good...it aint a smash BUT u know Jay aint lettin this one roll ALONE...he got a 2nd one coming that will SMASH THA GAME!
promotion is set early...U KNOW!
The ones who sayin its not hot is the WAYNE FANS! especially the gay azz nyggaz who said PROSTITUTE WAS FIRE...(U KNOW WHO U R...)...sayin Blue Magic is wack
IT IS WHAT IT IS! If u a teenager...U DONT EVEN REALLY KNOW HIP HOP! Majority at least...every nygga under 18 feel Wayne the best cuz yall Lost!
AMERICAN GANGSTER NOV 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u ignorant sayin teenagers don't know hip-hop man most rappers themselves start in their teens just look Nas, Banks, Wayne etc.. Shit some people just grow up on hip hop like me since birth and i'm 19 and def can hold my ground with the best in any hip hop conversation... quit talkin like a chump. 1
but besides that u right.. jay-z's on that harroine flow in blue magic..FIRE
wayne is going harder than jay right now word to mother stop denying it man.....theres nothing wrong with liking lil waynes music bro
Why cant you guys admit that blue magic isnt good? why do you people keep making excuses? "he has a second one coming" are you sure? and what does a song that nones even heard have to do with the fact that blue magic is weak? last album was trash garbage its going down hill he rocked it for 10 years but its over now sorry!
Yall crazy dude wayne better than jigga ha been a jigga fan since day one he to sick blue magic is dat fire and that album is gon be the truth best album of 07 and then lupe gon drop that heat too carter 3 gon suck like everything after dedication 2
^^^ Co-Sign.
Haters can't feel Blue Magic and like dude said, ya'll cant related to it. Thats hustler shit right there....the hood...thats not the rural Kentucky or where ever ya'll Lil Wayne stans come from.
SHUT UP! THE SONG IS WEAK
ALL OF YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT COULD ONE OF YOU PLEASE TELL ME 3 HOT LINES FROM THAT SONG JUST 3 WE ARE ALL HIP HOP FANS WE ALL LISTEN TO THE MUSIC PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ARE THE LINES THAT MAKE YOU LIKE THE SONG TELL ME WHATS GOOD ABOUT IT?
How can u say Blue Magic is wack???
Its still to advanced for yall wayne fans yet yall are praisin wayne for makin :
"Im on like the television" you would never here that come out of Jay's mouth....too simple....rather " im killin the block , multiple whips , so im killin the roof like michael vick" thats something you have to think about....Why dont you wayne fans focus on him not living up to what he says he is.....
Exactly, RealTalkofNY! Niggas aint peep that line! Yall got to analyze the man! I'm killin the roof like Michael Vick?! Thats sick! U niggas cant even comprehend!
Analyze what? Any idiot who watched ESPN or the news for 5 minutes understood that. There was nothing advanced about that line bruh, it actually came off kind of corny to me and I'm a Jay fan.
I can't lie though, even though that "on like the television" line was simple, it still made me laugh, and that's what symbolizes a true artist. Wayne said something simple and made it sound rewindable.
And Kill the roof like Michael Vick wasnt? That "on like Television line was simple and wack as fuck. That whole verse on Make it Rain wasnt that great. It was o.k. That was one of Wayne's weakest verses! And I'm a fan of both! Kill the roof like Michael Vick was dope. He wasnt even talking about a dog!
damn i thought it would look better than that tho.
shut up u fucking fagget ass shit nigga
How can u say that this is not a classic album cover? the dude is three piece suited up scarface style and reasonable doubt style! classic shit!!! And the album is gonna be hot, just cause u dont like blue magic u gotta step outta the box... why u think jay did this shit, besides the great marketing scheme doing a album with the hottest movie of the year!!! u gonna hear some classic and different hov on this album... No i do not work for defjam!!
jay z is putting this out to counter dames real life documentary of the life and times of Nikki Barnes were they actually talk to him in real life .......were American Gangter is a made up story just like scarface...... and ive been asking all day to hear the hot lines from blue magic and no one here can put them up one of you just quoted a line from a whole other song! can we stay focused please?
You making a fool out of yourself dude...The whole second verse was nuts! You obviously don't understand what the man was talking about...When he was saying thanks to Regan for making me a monster, Oliver North and Iran Contra he was talking about how it's proven that Ronald Reagan turned a blind eye and in some cases sponsored the import of Cocaine into the United States to help fund a war...Congress would not give the money he wanted so he got his money another way, thru drug money...How do you think niggas like Rick Ross(the real rick ross) and the Cocaine Cowboys got so rich in the 80's??? This is the same era that the movie Scarface was touching upon...
"Before this rap shit we was already in concert" - Sick!
I notice when a nygga talk THE TRUTH about Wayne, yall get emotional and shyt!
WHY DONT YALL WAYNE STANS DO A KISSING REINACTMENT OF THE PIC!!
lol
Oh yeah...nyggaz talk bad about Jay...i dont even care CUZ HE THE REAL BEST RAPPER ALIVE! yall got a fight in yall arguments...I FALL BACK! The proof is in the pudding FAGGOTS!
Typical talk:
(WAYNES THE BEST...ADMIT IT...HES GOD...WAYNE GO HARD...JAY OLD SO WHY NOT WAYNE)...
haha FUCK YALL! lol
Dont get me started at lil wayne. He gone keep it up and make that boy hov put his name in a song!! HA!! For the record jay has put a few careers on hold.. you already know who ur favorite rapper's favorite rapper is.. HOVI BABY!!!
Yeah Jay did do that, but I don't think he's consistent enough to put any relevant rapper's career on hold at damn near 40 years old.
i didnt say anything like that......
im not getting emotional what are you reading? you cant be reading what Im writing
can you answer the million dollar question though what are the hot lines in blue magic?
thanks!
@Shutyourmouth:
Did that answer the million dollar question for you? If not, got back to listening niggas talking Easter Pink sprite...
shyt looks kool...he better stay clear from LL tho, LL will burry him..Dude is a seasoned battle MC, Jay has not won ONE battle if you really htink about it..NAS killed him, Prodigy Won lyrically jay never responded all he did was put homie on the summer jam screen (funny tho) and his response to Him Jones was WEAK... plus jay swagger jacks so many dudes including LL idk...kool cover tho...1 huned!!
www.myspace.com/tonezworld get at me!!
You co-sign LL for going at Jay, but you don't realize that he is going at Jay for a stupid reason. LL should be use to not having big # his first week because he came out when hiphop first started and people wasn't catching on to it yet at that time. People either fell you or they don't. He going at Jay because his album flopped now he's blaming it on them not promoting it. When his other albums didn't sell he did not blame it on the President that was there before Jay. He's still bitter from losing that battle against him in 91 (and I was born in 89 and I know this, I did my research) And another thing, when did LL bet any body in a battle, and don't say Canibus b/c that's crazy.
Man ill give u one line from blue magic to sum up the whole song but you probly wont get it until u go back and do your research of the dope game in the 80's.. and no i will not explain it to you find out young'n!!!!
Blame reagan for makin me a monster!! thank oliver north for when i ran contra!!! I ran contraband.... ewww thats enufff!!!
do ur research i answered ur question so another million for hov!! Ha!!!
tru tru kool line homie, that flu over a lot of peoples head
Jay-Z Kingdom Come = Not that great of a Jay-Z album. But HELLUVA lot hard than 97% of what's out.
With tha being said...haters may say American Gangster won't be hot.
And that MAY be true. However! It will definately'll be better tan 97% of the shit you can name.
including the Carter 3...ho yeah thats a big mixtape with guest appearances waiting to happen!!
Oh! Blue Magic is the SHIT!
R.I.P. Hip Hop!
Hard Cover Jay
looking at the album again ,if you people think blue magic was wack then you on acid listen to the lyrics if you cant understand then you cant listen to LUPE FIASCO,NAS,KANYE WEST....,they to smart for ya

Please!!
Nas - took Jay-Z but hey its Nas (Best Rapper Alive)
Prodigy? - Let's Just say Mobb Deep has been looked at like clowns since Blueprint dropped. As far as responding to him you don't respond to peopleway too beneath you (Ex. Nas Vs. Dipset) Especially when you run New York. You don't have time to fight with everyone...TakeOver was ENOUGH!!
50 Cent - I'm about a Dollar What The Fuck is 50 Cent..enuff said..
Jim Jones/Cam/Dip Set - Where the fuck is Cam?...Jim Jones looks more liek a clown more so now than ever..still has sold a record. "I'm Ballin For real you pump fakin it" (Battle was over at that point.
As For LL he can battle rap...but Jay is waaaaay outta his league. Don't ever say Jay never won a battle...
This is why Hip Hop is dead folks...PEACE!!
Nas cracked alot of jokes in that song, that's the only reason why people thought it was hot. Neither one of the Rockafellers died of AIDS and the oldest one that's still living is 93 years old. It's alot of false info in that song.
i disagree... heavily... nas did not win, if he won we wouldnt be seeing jay today... and we all know thats not the case, jay's reply was just as hot.. plus i give you my opinion on why hip hop is dead i agree there, i was in the club last night, they played kanye's stronger everyone got off the floor no one was out there.. they played that bullshit cupid shuffle and people went wild on the floor that shit had me hot!

THANK YOU!!!
Lupe Fiasco! 25 years old but youy can only compare him to legends.
BEST RAPPER in the New School. BY FAR.
co sign
This SHUTYOURMOUTH guy is crazy listen to the words listen to the whole second verse and im a wayne fan also so i can talk but jay proved he still got it with bluemagic hes bringing it bac to the streets and y are we even talking about wayne cause SOME PEOPLE cant keep him off there mind doesnt lil" wayne have a bars from jay tatted on him oooo you didnt know that welll he said it on mtv case closed !! homie above gave you your 3 lines u dont need 3 lines listen to the second verse
good cover,but since when did jigga run NY??? he ain't the don,he gave that title to Nas a long time ago.
ok that was a good... but its nothing that ive never heard before its the same shit over and over again the song is boring as hell can you admit that?
you guys talk about things going over peoples heads but peep game
just as an example Wayne talking about easter pink sprite hes talking about syrup....if your not familiar with whats going on in the south that will fly right over your head... i never said that jay was point blank whack i said that song blue magic is whack its really boring i get really tired of hearing rappers talk about hustling and selling drugs when most of them never did and isnt it a lil lame that you have to be a drug dealer to understand half of this music? that doesnt bother any of you? it bothers me jay z is very talented but allways raps about the same shit his money his bitches and the drugs he hasnt sold in over 15 years that shit is boring! Im sorry and im disapointed that it took like 2 hours for one person to actualy write out 3 lines of the song whats wrong with you people? and for the record it wasnt me who brung lil wayne into this conversation I simply responded to what some jerk off wrote in response to me most of you kids dont even listen to this music at all you just follow what everyone else says is hot then when asked why is that hot you respond with "you must be a wayne fan" what the fuck is that dumb shit?
I'm from the south homie, ain't nothing cool about rappin bout syrup either nigga.
"Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish, I only rap about jewels? Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?"
Nigga you ever heard "meet the parents" that song is about punk ass niggas who don't take care of they kids and how they killing them in the process.
"For those that Hov is just bling blinging, either haven't heard the album, or they don't know english! They only know what the single is, and single that out to be the meaning of what he's about."
Get ya shit straight b4 u startin poppin off homs. Ya boy wayne fav. rapper and idol is jay-z, he got jay-z verse on his arm. Its a reason this man is looked at as the best rapper and businessman to ever come through this game. Niggas these days lack respect, the only thing yall remember is the last thing ya heard! Wayne got a real nice flow, but his lyrics are watered down wit a jingle. half the words he put together sound good but if you think bout the actual meaning, it don't make since. He got his NEW flow and NEW Swagger from Jay n that's when he got hot. Niggas need to go back n listen to "Tha Block is Hot" and "Lights Out" and "500 degrees" all good albums but its nothing like his recent stuff. You don't wake up one day n be completely different. On dedication 1 he said, "Got Hova at the game and now he coaching me!" Remember that!
N if you don't know, those his first three albums cuz half of wayne fans bandwagon bitches who thought The Carter 1 was his first album or it was the first one they heard! N all that nigga talk is money, bitches, n selling drugs!!!!!!! He using his own product!!!!! Name one song about anything else unless it was the song bout his daddy dying!
