    Maaaan!!! The cover is so sick!!! The black and gold is classic, plus the NYC skyline with the Lexus inside the glasses was a great detail to add. This cover wouldn’t fit any other artist!!! Whoever put the cover together Great job!!! The ROC is definitely in th MFing building!!!!!!!!!!!

    How Hova gon drop 2 albums so close to one another right outa retirement. Its been up to 5 years for other artists on his label def jam. Dude is promoting himself to much, stop beeing selfish and promote your label first selfish Mu Fuc#@. Look at what Dr. Dre be doin thats how Jays gotta be. He’s not an artist no more hes a president, grow up cuz ur new shit blows jay……Joey finally gon move work cuz he ain’t under this dude wit this dude no more. U old jay u need to retire on the REAL. Blue Magic? Thats the weakest single iv’e ever heard i hope it don’t make the album cut, hahaha. 1 Lion

    this cover is the sickest one out so far.
    it’s simple but straight fiya!
    can’t wait for the return of “The Real Jay”.
    like T.O. said,”Get Ya Popcorn Ready”.
    now if he can only patch it up with Dame and Biggs and do a modern day cover of
    “Reasonable Doubt”!
