VIDEO JAY-Z SPEAKS ON THE BLUEPRINT 3 ALBUM COVER
”
These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop,” Hov explained. “It’s still about music. It’s not about radio, making gimmicks — it’s still about making music. Those things are piled in the corner. These are the forgotten things about music. It’s still about music. It’s not about radio, it’s not about making gimmicks, it’s about music. The three stripes that everybody is asking about is made from the original [number] three. The first three they made on the wall was someone carving. If you look at [the number] 3, all they did was connect lines. The whole thing about this album, how I approached it, is that I wanted to make a new classic to start that all over again — to go back to making classic albums like the ones we grew up listening to.”

I respect Mr. Carter, But what the hell is he trying to explain?
What are the things that have been forgotten?
He really doesn’t make any sense, and he repeats himself quite a bit.
I have to say this is not a good look.
