Jay-Z’s artwork for his forthcoming Blueprint 3 was released to the world today, and it’s something like a Rorschach test: Everyone sees something different in it!
First, the cover.
Friend of Idolator Reed Fischer noted that the “white instruments on a white background” motif had been previously utilized by the Secret Machines on their 2004 album Now Here is Nowhere:
And then we have the multiple lines of U2’s most recent album No Line On The Horizon:
And then there is the “stark background with striking red element” motif of Jay collaborator Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak
It’s like a Frankenstein of other album covers that actually made their way into big-box stores over the past five years! Feel free to share what you see in the Blueprint 3 cover here.

I see a gardena snake eating a Ford Taraus. What does that say about my relationship with my parents?
I don’t even care who he’s ripping off – i love how this cover is all “fuck the rap-album cover standards.”
@How do I say this…Throwdini!?!: Sometimes a Photoshop filter is just a Photoshop filter.
Awww, Jay wants to be a rock star.

Or it’s just a straight ripoff of this.

Bill again on the first place… But I think he’ll be on first place only for a year or two more.
