Hmmm…interesting cover. Luv the song:)

Absolutely adore the cover!

very nice cant wait!

I’d like the cover to be explained. I’m excited, though.

!st! my mans is ready ! can’t wait for the album

Different. At first glance it reminded me of the collage on Erykah Badu’s last album, except his components were all musical pieces.

I see he’s using the Jumbo screen at his shows now like the wifey

I don’t support devil worshippers!!!
The album cover looks like shit
JAY-Z SUCKS!!

cant wait!

that is really dope cover, cant wait for the album to drop!

well its showed no comment so i thought i was first lmao
but amazing art work for the album as well

So excited about this album!

#TJACKI25 JAY ALWAYS USED THEM!! HE USES THEM SINCE 2006. BEYONCE JOCKED HOV!!

Its about time some real rappers come back in the game. I hope this album delivers.

nice cover

but i cudda sworn this dude retired years ago

smh

I like the cover , not JAY-Z

Are people really still doing this “first” thing? That’s so lame…sometimes I think people think that if they’re first, it somehow validates their lives. Sad, really.

Anyway, I like the cover. Jay is the only artist that can pull off a cover like this, because it’s a bold statement when an artist puts out a cd and doesn’t have their face on the front cover. Although I would have liked those 3 red stripes to have actually been blue stripes (for obvious reasons).

He actually looks good in these pics, although for whatever reason, I just realized that he doesn’t wear his wedding band when performing.
::Looks at Bey’s live performances to see if she wears hers::

Hot Cover!

Jay-z is doing shout-outs to the crowd at all his concerts and now beyonce is doing that too. WIFEY is jocking her own husband!!

I like the fact that he decided to go full force w his album during the time his wife’s tour is coming to a close. Smart move.

what do the 3 red lines symbolize?

HOW CAN U BE A FAN OF HIP-HOP & NOT LIKE JIGGA???!!?!?!

# 19 - 3 lines represent 3 the blue print III

i wonder what the 3 red lines are meant to be

@ 21, thanks

OMG!!! I love we run this town” when it came on the radio I was like sing that song Rihanna!!! Her singing is getting so much better too, she almost sound like what BeYAWNce trys to sound like” get it ri-ri

Love” Aaolion your #1 Stan,

@ 24

lmao: ‘what Beyonce tries to sound like’
Beyonce shits on Rihanna vocally anyday so let’s not go there
the song’s aite, nun too special bout it, i expected him to come harder
feeling the album cover though

Kanye is rubbing off on Jay-Z, ha ha.

They are red like blood i mean the lines
Maybe 3 lines = 3 numbers also guess which one !! LIKE the 3 lines on monster energy drinks

this world is not wat u think it is…

Weird but different, I like it. I can’t wait for the album!

The number 3 represents GOD. It is formed by 1 plus 1 plus plus 1. But if the 1’s are multplied, the result is still 1. So that God is 3in1 and 1 and 3. In geometry two lines do not make a cube. Hence 2 is an incomplete number while 3 is the first complete number. It therefore represents God. 3 is also a number of resurrection, The Lord Jesus is resurrected on the third day. Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days.
All things happens in 3’s

knowing numbers and numerology can teach us alot about the earth and how people use numbers.

It is dope… Instruments are the “Blueprint” to music…. I feel ya, Jay!

Love Jay-z!!! THE GREATEST RAPPER!!!!!1

Instrument means by which something is done or One used by another to accomplish a purpose. Showing musical instruments was the only way to get that point across in artwork. The masses only think of instrument as only being a musical device, but to others its about influence.

Jay-Z is so fine. He deserves so much better than Beyonce. His women should be at his feet. Not just as busy as him. He deserves to be taken care of not neglected.

Come on Jigga. We are waiting on you Jigga. Come and show em how its done!!
His swagger is irresistible!!! Lovin everything he does!! Wifey 2! Get em Carters!

devil

@ #25……Girl Pahleeze!!! Beyonce can never come for Queen Rihanna and all those hits she have so stop it” Rihanna ruled the billboard chats this decade with her songs and only been out for 5 years, that right there should tell you who’s the better vocalist!!! So fall back ASAP!!!

Jigga is Jew lover and he’s hate black people!

@7 I agree with you, used to be a fan of Jay and Bey not anymore.

This cover prob represents the masses he has slaughter through his music all the instruments he has used for evil than for good

I MEAN WITHOUT HIS FACE ON IT ? LOOOOOOL YOU STILL NEED TO SLEEP

I love me some Jay Z, so talented and sexy.

Hmmm…three BLOOD red stripes on a white background. Album drops on 9/11 @ 9:11am….hmmm…whatever does this mean????

Hmmm…white noise? Maybe that’s what it means : \

@ post 27….Didine is that you?

@ #7 I COULDNT AGREE MORE.

I agree with # 7.

People need to do their research…

The world is not what it seems.

I JUST LOVE JAY-Z!! BUT CAN HE DIVORCE FROM THIS FAKE BISH??? PLEASE!

Wierd

classic

Cool

LOVE JIGGA ,I’m his # fan 4 life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice cover

I can’t wait for him to explain this album cover…..looks deeeep to me as #50 states.
Everyone says they like it but probably does not know what it even symbolizes!

I think the cover is dope and I agree w/ the person that says “how could you not love Jay if you love hip-hop”…I don’t believe all this cult ish but what I do know is when its my time to go neither Jay, Rhinna, Kayne. etc etc etc could answer for me at the gates of heavan.
On a side note: “I LOVE THAT MAN”

JIGGA IS MY DUDE! I DON’T LIKE THE WHOLE SEPT 11 RELEASE DAY BUT HEY…I’M STILL GONNA BE BUMPING IT.

UGH, I AM WITH #7… I AM SOOO OVER THIS DEVIL WORSHIPPER.

& JUST LIKE #67 SAID, PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY LOVE THE COVER BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT SYMBOLIZE!!! PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO GET OFF THIS OLD MAN’S BALLS. HE IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS!!

I used to be a fan but no longer will i stand back and worship this devil and he do it so confidently cause he know that he have a lot of people that are going to follow him regardless of what his wishes are. Satan at his best

For the record, I didn’t state that he is a devil worshiper….just said that we don’t know what it symbolizes and everyone is like “YAAAAY,…that’s HOT!!!”

I like that.

The cover represents the music industry being used as a machine to push forth the worship of the trinity of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, or Shiva, Kali, and Vishnu, who are the pagan deites that the three red bars represent. This is why the musical instruments are configured to represent the components of a robot. It goes into the masonic belief in alchemy, or the ability to manipulate properties, specifically from one substance or attribute to another. The intent is to turn people into robots, either literally through the RFID chip or by mechanizing their thoughts through mind control manipulation, and conversely to humanize technology. I’ve said this before; Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye see themselves as the human representation of Osiris, Isis, and Horus. That is the theme, that they are gods and she is a goddess. That is why they move as one unit and if noticed, they are even coordinating their attire now; either all black, black and white, grey mixed in, or maybe red which represents lust and the higher levels of the occult. In reality, they are just pawns that will eventually be removed.
