LOL AT # 2 saying 80-80 vision.. you stupid fuck 20-20 is normal your vision rate worsens if the numbers go upward .. you asshole you should of said 10-10 hahahaha .. Ill cover.. everyone wants to relate their lives to a movie script in some sorta way.. at least Jay-Z did enough shit in his life thus far to walk that route. shoust to HOV for still being able to release better sounding music then everyone else to this day..

BULLSHIT. Niggas wanted Rocawear because of Jay-z. And if Dame was so smart with it how come he only got like 30 mil from it and jay got 204 mil plus 35 in stock from it? Don’t get me wrong Dame is a good business man. But the poeple want Jay-z not Dame. thats like niggas going to see the lakers to watch Kobe Bryants agent. Dame was bascially a manger doing his job. Jay didn’t need Dame for Fade to Black, S. Carters, 40/40, New Jersey nets, Ace of Spades, President and CEO of Def Jam Recordings, co-brand director for Budweiser Select, etc. They both good at making money so just leave it at that.

50 sat back and watched Jay-z, Diddy, Russel Simmons, etc, do all of this. He aint doing nothing new. They paved the way for him so it came easier because white people saw it could be done.
Rocafella = G-Unit
Rocawear = G-Unit clothing
S.Carters = G- Unit sneakers
Memphis Bleek = Tony yayo
Jay-Z “I’m focused man Tell Stout to holla at me man”
50 cent “Im Focused Man You Should Know This Man”
and the list goes on.
Im not a huge Jay-z fan but im sick of people being narrow minded and not seeing the whole picture.

the cover look crazy
my fav jay-z covers are reasonable doubt, vol. 2, vol. 3, dynasty, blueprint, black album, kindome come cover. i could throw in unplug as well

hope the album DOPE aswell as the cover, i see this album marketing in the theatre when american gangster is about to start and finishin

denzel comin on sayin jay-z - american gangster in store now blue man MY MAN!

Cosing…… #5 agree with what u said i have been tellin everyone how 50 jus came right jay and just follows his blueprint
u forgot movies

i just hope on this cd more of the songs sound like the intro from kingdom come fresh like mannie b/ chain like antifreeze/ shoebox full of cash/ dealer man hand me keys

BOOO!

I agree 100% with #7. The intro was so hot on Kingdom Come. I thought it was going to be another Reasonable Doubt or Blueprint 1. It turned out to be ok, but if it was anyone besides Jigga, we all may be saying diffrent. We expect so much more from him and we love the braging, cocky Jay-z, not the laid back smart bussiness Jay.

Jay-z brooklyn all day

first off that cover looks hot, kind of a rip off of wut TIP did in that ‘live in the sky’ vid tho

dame is a good business man but jay learned from the ‘white guys’ how to truly make dat money. dame kinda learned on the fly. the thing was, dame made socks and jay sold socks. once jay learned how to make socks, there was no use 4 dame at all, especially after he tried to make camRUN the president of the ROC over beanie and bleek

as far as fiddy goes, dawg everything hes doing jay, puff, and russell already did. fiddy isnt doing anything new. russell, puff, and jay paved the way to do the businesses that theyve done in the past. they had NO blueprint, those guys were fiddy and all these new cats blueprint, nuff said.

looks hot! heard hes doin a street album and he prefers to be called jigga at the moment cause thats more like his street name, thats a good thing in my opinion cause i didnt like kingdome come that much,… but blue magic is dope, best song i heard in a while, i expect a good album

peeeeeeeeeeeez

lol ^^

HOT

Definately looks good. Has that American Gangster feel to it. Something about it reminds of the Blueprint cover. Hope the album is gonna be dope.

Doesn’t look all that hot…I mean, what in the hell do the chairs symbalize??

symbolize**

That´s a cover, it looks reallllly fly, I love it!!!!! I´m so excited about that song with him and Timbaland and Polow Don Pon, I hope it´s gettin like better and better and next year a battle with him and Eminem a album on the same date, that would be amazing!!!!

American Gangster, I buy it!!!!! LOVE you Jay, can´t wait when you touring!

how about…….WHO Cares……its a stupid cover….Im going to be downloading this album anyways, I dont need a cover…hhahahahahahaha

he looks like a hunch back camel on that pic
dis nigga aint got nothing on 50, nigga been out more than 12 years and 50 bout to pass him.

to sum it all up who cares dude is straight wack

here comes blueprint 3. yes!!

that cd has to be better than the last one.

that cd has to be better than the last one

[...] this the cover to Jay-Z’s new [...]

At #17

The chairs and the entire scene symbolizes a “boss” walking to the back of a clsoed restaurant to do business. As you may have seen in any mafia movie most of the business is done in the back of the “bosses” front operation, usually a restaurant or bar, and usually before the establishment opens. That’s what the chairs symbolize! Probably too young to get though, just like KC, but that’s what the ol heads are here for to give you some schooling. 1

First off #17 Watch the trailer for Amercian Gangster and you will see the meaning of the chairs…..There is a scene where Denzel walks into a bar and gets crazy…….The album coinsides with the movie…..And that album cover is hot…Thats the Mystique Jay had before on covers….

And I dont understand where people get there facts from about 50 on Jay coat tail….Jay is at about close to 450 Million in NET WORTH…..50 Just cracked 150!!…Dont get me wrong in 4 years 50 thats great numbers big homie but 50’s ventures outside of music arent even close to the shit Hov is doing…..The building that the Nets are going to play in in 2009, the name is up for bids and one of the names in the running is Rocawear Arena….lol..Like yall are stupid even mentioning 50 in Hova name….

Secondly when Hov dropped with another rapper did he ever come in second place??…I think not…everyones favorite gangster lost to a teddy bear….and who cares about the other country sales…..How many times you been to the UK…LOL….

Like i understand Hov like to be the center of attention and all dat and it bothers people considering his job is to promote others but its well deserved…Nigga told yall he opened more doors for yall suckers than car services….lol…..EASY JAY…..lol…

Pay respects man…..If it wasnt for Russell, Diddy, and Jay these white corporate people wouldnt even be talking to 50, TI, and Nelly….

And just to comment on LL and Method Man….From everything i was reading and hearing from them they said that Marketing was the main problem with their projects and promotion….Who that listens to rap dont kno who Method Man and LL Cool J is??…What the problem was is there music…LL dropped two videos last album and that shit wit J-Ho was corny…..Methos Man aint been hot since his last movie….So please dont throw rocks at the throne…..

that LP cover is waaaaaaay too ill, straight up exquisite

make a nigga wanna pick that shit up, u familiar ? thats a boss album cover and i aint even a jigga fan im more nas and raekwon and cam’ron, you familiar ?

but that LP is just extreme big boy status, you familiar ?

suwhooooooooooooooooooooooo

The New Yorkers get happy when somthing about jay-z comes up.

yall new yorkers are sme haters fo real.

Im a Jay-z fan, I use to be what people would call a stan, lol but i never seen niggas start listing their fav jay-z album cover.

#28 on point, LL mad about his def jam situation, nigga been out since the 80’s. I like L but if he aint learned how to market himself yet what he been doin? Meth, I love the Wu, so instead of feeling salty bout 420, focus on what works now, get the Clan back in the Lab, and focus on that ish. we been dying for another Wu Tang Forever cause all their collabo albums since been trash.

And to everybody talkin that Dame stuff at the beginning of this Jay told u “Mufuckers said they made Hov, ok then make another Hov” Dame is real smart but if I was Mike Jordan agent after his first year in the league his work damn near speak for it self I aint got to do much. Kanye knew that going with Jay was going to lead to more opportunities than sticking wit Dame so he definately made the right move.

Fiddy and did shit that nigga fuck wit. I neverrrrr seen a person coping them GUnit sneaks, A GUnit shirt coat whatever. The only reason Mobb and dem be wearing it cause its probably in the contract. He called Koch a graveyard for old rappers. So is Gunit.. Mobb Deep, MOP, Mase, LL whoever. Yo aint broke a new artist since Olivia shes GONE, b4 that it was Banks and Yayo, where they at?

HE LOOKS LIKE A CAMEL WITH A OVERCOAT GRAZING AN ABANDONED BAR.LOL WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ATHIS COVER.ITS A TIP RIP OFF.

Cosign with #4 Kenya…Thats real talk!

The album cover reminds me of Reasonable Doubt…And, like someone else mentioned, I hope Hov incorporates his braggadocious swag in this LP and brings his Reasonable doubt demeanor to it as well…

…Either way, Jiggaman is a genius…Sh*t’s gonna be a masterpiece…Album of the Year…Hov and Nas…

he may look like a camel .the man have swagg out of this world and fucking the hottest chick in the game all yall are haters be happy for a black man that doin it BIGGGGG and stop with that stupid sh*T.

dude on his way to a billion

THIS COVER IS DOPE!

BTW CO SIGN #4!

Will niggas stop sayin its a fuckin ti rip off. Shit. It’s a`scene from the fuckin movie. Damn. Niggas really hate on jigga. Cuz they kno when he drop that shit alot of their favorite rappers are aren’t gonna survive. Real fucking talk nigga.

#33 That’s some real ish!!

yesssssssssssss

@36 lol yall niggas be trippin me out

It looks like he coming back on that Reasonable Doubt shit. Reasonable Doubt 2007 perhaps?

I Meant CO SIGN #6, #4 just a hater! LOL

That cover is hot. Looking forward to the album and the movie.

Graduation,Ultimate Victory,Eardrum,Finding Forever and now American gangster…wow,dis has really been a great year for hip-hop.

well jay’s albums tend to steer towards classic material when u can’t clearly see his face on the cover. Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint and Black Album all his best work and u can’t see his face properly for shit on n e of them.
It’s dumb logic i know but i’m expecting vintage shit on this album, just blaze needs to zone out on this one if ever there was an album to elevate his status as a producer to top 5 d.o.a it’s this one

fuck jigga tha ugly nigga

jay album is done, all we need is nas and marshall mathers to make this a hot 4th quarter

timbo said that jay would luv to drop an album the same day was eminem, that should would be bananas. i mean u think the kanye vs 50 was big but if jay and eminem could drop same day, that would be ridiculous.

jj evans dont sell alot of records stop hyping this nigga up like he can compete with eminem. jj evans cant compete with 50 cent on his worst album!!!!!!

Looks iLL.

“ya’ll niggas gon’ learn to respect the king,”

He done took off the blazer, and loosened up the tie…..

looks madd ungly still

lol that pic was ugly yall overratin this nigga and he never sold ova 8 mill worlwide 50 did to and i guarentee u if 50 was in da game almost 12 years he would have way more guda then jay so stop it reasonable doubt didnt go platinum until 2002,and it came out in 96 thats ridiculous lol daf jam is full of overly saturated artists and jay is da biggest 1 retire and quit comin back and i bet this album wont sell as much as curtis first week it will flop jus like kingdome come did afta da first week…

I hope everybody thats commenting on yo looks is a female cause I dont know why looks would matter to niggas. Chicks dont buy cds if a guy look bad, for niggas it shouldnt matter. Thats just my feelings.

u right doc but if a nigga’s ugly and its true, people can say what they feel no matter how hot that persons album may be. same how if a girl is not attractive both male and females espicially will say so,so whats the difference if a male is ugly a male can’t voice it.u don’t have to be gay to tell the difference between ugly and good looking thats why we have eyes and the freedom to say say whats attractive and whats not.males and females CAN say if they think a person is ugly,its not excluded to 1 sex.

I aint sayin niggas gay, far from that but it seem like everybody talking bout that and personally when I see yo that aint the first thing that come to mind. Its mad ugly niggas in the game, I’ll admit but when I see or hear a girl rap I check out her looks then rhymes. Dudes its rhymes then rhymes then rhymes then looks

same for a girls doc, we look at the guys look,hot guys make it much better to listen to trust me,if he ugly he still will get props if hes good, but good looks go a long way for girls.and jayz is butt ugly most girls just like him cause of his paper,me personally i liked his rhymes but hes kind of boring now he still act like he hustling drugs and im not talking about this concept album that he claims is about the 70’s frank lucas with 80’s crack lyrics that he has coming out.
