“These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop, it’s still about music,” Jay-Z said of the cornucopia of instruments and equipment, from saxophones to tape decks to turntables to phonographs. “It’s not about radio and it’s not about making gimmicks and its not about anything, it’s still about making music. So those things are out in the corner.” Jay’s visual aesthetic is supported by BP3’s first single “D.O.A.,” which called for the end of one of those “gimmicks,” Auto-Tune.
As for those three red stripes running horizontally across the cover, Jigga calls them the “original three” and discusses how that’s way the number appeared on cave drawings before someone came along and connected the lines to form the “3″ we all know now, but it’s just a convoluted answer for the fact that this is the third Blueprint and that U2 made emblazoning latitudinal lines on an album cover in vogue...."
