[NinaLuxful]

Dan Tobin Smith = Genius.

[Mr24DanielF]

1:53 he kinda does say im a mason!

[sivret20]

You'd think they'd just use cgi or something

[Cmgeezus]

Can somebody explain to me what this album cover is supposed to depict? I'm so confused as to what all these instruments, and the red tape has to do with anything. Thanks

[kemyhotty]

@Cmgeezus he explained it the instruments ar the instruments that arent being used anymore cause everything is autotuned/done with a computer...the three red lines are the "3" in "Blueprint 3" apparently thats how prehistoric preople used to represent the #3...i think its pretty smart

[Ayselable]

this is so funny)))

[31MillerTime31]

I just wanted to see how they put the 3 stripes there

[TheTupacNation]

1:53 Jay-Z says he's a mason thumbs up if u agree? [Listen Closely]

[rkolber1]

@TheTupacNation

maison martin margiela. look it up.

[MrUrmom1234]

A little overdone?



[Puleczech]

I don't really get why there are so many people working on it. Let's pay 10 people for the work that 3 can manage. Looks good though.

[baseballreg123]

they couldnt photoshop the stripes?

[ColdinConcord]

@baseballreg123 it wouldnt have looked as good this way it comes out alot better

[baseballreg123]

@ColdinConcord with today's technology i think it would come out to be about the same

[Maziyar]

Aye call 9/11 This dude's a Mason and He's said it in.. one of his song.

when is this shit gonna evolve.

fuck your comments

fuck you

if you have children fuck them to

They think it's the funniest thing like we're playing the price is right

Forgot what real hip hop is. Oh we just vibin son. We diggin this song How come?

The beat is raw but what else? Dudes lyrics are hot as fuck. that's Math and Science combined.

Word up. Blueprint of a mason. It ain't classic? It ain't hip hop.

[MultiGringo10]

Can anyone tell me

wich song is this..??!!

[syafiquesoon]

@MultiGringo10 It's " Run This Town "

[duuoode]

@shankeith it wouldn"t have been as raw

[yoenoesz]

white people working for black people

[richardfairgrieve]

"the only reason i dont want to be a rapper because of that "guyver11000 lol bet your crap too.

[BizzTheFunk]

i laugh when people find something very stupid to blame Jigga about devil worshipping about the cover :D

[officialmcsi]

so much time and effort. had no idea so many people were involved

[kungfoolai]

wow, they went through all that bother lol

[officialmcsi]

@kungfoolai they sure did! I wouldn't have known without this video

[TYRESROLLINS]

[bigbenisamonster]

the 4rth branch of the government A.K.A the media

[guyver11000]

im getting sick and tierd of this illuminati shit and most ppl always say because hes rich and famous. What a black guy cant be rich and but a white man can this is the only reason i dont want to be a rapper because of that shit. this is how i see

black man-im rich and famous

people-u devil worshiper

white guy-im rich and famous

people- i wish i was like him

[pink0eye]

@guyver11000 your very ignorant about the illuminati if this is what you think people base it on. lady gaga, miley cyrus...these people arent black or male. i don't know if all the allegations about the illuminati are true, but the fact that jayz is putting crazy ass symbolism into every single video and relating every song lyric to such a thing is truly truly disturbing. ITS THERE, accept it. now we just have to figure out if its for the illuminati or publicity. either one is disgusting IMO.

[xx2RAHxx]

@guyver11000 i cant tell if your trying to put a bit of racism in there, but i do agree with you, just not about any racist parts, that is, if there is any at all

[thedexterbros]

@guyver11000 I'm pretty sure a lot of white guys have been accused of being illuminati, if you are a talented rapper and you don't rap because people might call you illuminati then you don't really want to be a rapper

[ThaDmanNProductions]

@guyver11000 it's all because ppl are ignorant as fuck

[hazza1o1]

@guyver11000 no because it most of his music videos and songs there is illuminati/satanic/masonic symbolism he is controlled by the illuminati and he is also a 3rd degree freemason

[EpicDreams05]

@hazza1o1 freemasonary isnt devil worshipers! they can have there on beliefs in whatever they want all freemasonary is a group making a better living for them, and be a good community guy. Free Masons arent devil worshipers!

[ctnyg10]

@EpicDreams05 you and @guyver11000 have made 2 of the very few intelligent youtube comments i have ever seen

[EpicDreams05]

@ctnyg10 Thank You, My Brother Is A Free Mason And He Is A Strong Believer In God And Goes To Church And Praises God To The Max. And The Masons Don't Care.

[MandyVin17]

@EpicDreams05 He's not a black mason then. And I don't mean race.

[cosminroFTW]

@guyver11000 Man, that's not true. It's not about racism. People say Gaga, for example, is in illuminati too.

[MarcoRossStudios]

@cosminroFTW no one says that

[BlackAndYellow030]

@guyver11000 this guy is somewhat right cuz i mean people dont say em is in the illuminati or a free mason. but look what kinda fcked up things em says raping women killing children and shit like that. i mean i think eminem is great but i feel people would be actin different if he was black. and if you listen to 'my darling' eminem is talking to a devil and he ADMITS SELLlNG HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL !! and in the end em agree's with the devil.

[jtychk]

@guyver11000 Actually most people blamed for being Illuminati are rich white people like Rockefeller etc. I can tell you right now the main reason he is targeted by people saying he is Illuminati is because he uses the capstone symbol which, guess what... is an Illuminati symbol. Try typing EMINEM Illuminati... The other reason rappers and really lots of musicians are targeted this way is because they have masonic or Illuminati symbols in their music videos, or covers...

[MandyVin17]

@jtychk You need to check out Tavistock institute. That's where it starts.

[jtychk]

@guyver11000 As for devil worship... did you forget about Metal & Rock...

Don't try and play the racist card when it's not in play.

[BetaStationX]

@guyver11000 Real astute observation there -_-.

[MandyVin17]

@guyver11000 He's straight up in Rockefellers pocket fool. That bro is bought and paid for whether you like it or not. Look it up.

[Troublesome2008]

@MandyVin17

And what about Steve Jobs (Apple)? And Bill Gates (Microsoft)? And the owners of Google and YouTube? You probably have Windows installed on your computer. You probably own one of them smart phones. You probably have a Facebook account. You are supporting the Illuminati and you don't even know it. The Illuminati is laughing their asses of, watching you hating on these rappers...

[MandyVin17]

@Troublesome2008 Sorry chief. I despise everything you mentioned. No I phone, no FB, no TV, but you kinda need a cpu, huh? It's impossible NOT to support them, they own everything. Listen to Technique if you dig rap. It's a lot better than this stooge.

[DrDestrucdo]

@guyver11000 Oh ohk that's why your not a rapper, cool.

[zach1liles]

@guyver11000 not true in the south

[ProLikeJack]

@guyver11000 STFU im white and i wish i was like black rappers so dont start preeching bout how people hate black rappers because they dont so fuck you

[NickelodeonRewind2]

@guyver11000 not true look at lady gaga kesha kate perry u just sound retarded

[CompanionCubeCompany]

@guyver11000

I think that your the one being racist right now.....

[BRDSVGE]

@guyver11000 How do you explain the fucking Illuminati hand symbols he throws around like it nothing?

[mariahandchristina]

@guyver11000 Wtf lol? Your just bringing race into it. race has fuck all too do with it. Look up the facts, it clearly shows hes illuminati. If he was white, it'd be the same.

[canuck8jam]

@guyver11000

couldnt agree more

[MJmichand]

@guyver11000 you'll never be a rapper because you suck.

[Angels8Harmony]

@guyver11000 Preach!!!

[haykikos]

@guyver11000 illuminati does it because they dont like black people...

[GreatGeneralUrsus]

@guyver11000 REALLLLL talk

[steezdluis]

@guyver11000 it's not that he's black and is rich and powerful. its in his lyrics. if you're choosing to deny that he's involved in any higher power then you're being ignorant. when he says things like PEACE GOD or has a song entitled D'EVILS then you question him and what his beliefs are.

[guyver11000]

im getting sick and tierd of this illuminati shit and most ppl always because hes rich a famous. What a black guy cant be rich and but a white man can this is the only reason i dont want to be a rapper because of that shit. this is how i see

black man-im rich and famous

people-u devil worshiper

white guy-im rich and famous

people- i wish i was like him

[shushkabobs]

@guyver11000 its not just him because hes black

theres several famous rich whites that are looked at the same way.

the facts are there its your choice to believe or your choice to stay blind.

[guyver11000]

@shushkabobs see but the thing is that many of my friends -which are black- say that jay z,kanye west,riahnah,beyonce and lady gaga worship the devil and they hardly never say anything about and white famous. They learned this from a film called exposed

[sasoniiawesome]

@guyver11000 I thought that they were puppets Idk.

[oViSioNzx]

I use to be with Jay Z but when i found out he as with the Illuminati, I mean he throws up the the symbol for the all-seeing eye which is the symbol of the illuminati

There is just way to much you people do not know about Jay Z and a lotta other rappers.

[reymysterio9496]

nice work

[Manutd4321n]

watch?v=Y7yQwQtSN7M&feature=yo­utube_gdata_player

[rtomson]

someone needs a DSLR.

[Ebru1294]

watch the whole series illuminatie music industry exposed copy and paste

[morepl0x]

i like timelapse!

[darkspeed62]

I really don't get why they spent all that time arranging all those instruments or spraying them or whatever they did. I always thought the cover was rendered in a 3D program, which makes me wonder why they didn't do that in the first place.

[Rockstafeller]

@darkspeed62 i know, right. guess they had a budget for that and wanted to show off

[uhohlookwhoshere]

@darkspeed62 I thought the exact same thing. Even after they built it, I was not expecting them to paint the lines on. That could have been done easily in a program like photoshop, even if they wanted to slightly follow the contour of some of the instruments.

[freedomland11]

The album wasn't the best..But the Beats were off da hook!! Lets give credit where credit is due!! to da ppl who created the Scene

[ggycfctfcff]

0:45 it almost looks like a penis"im just saying"

[TheDailyLifeWithMe]

DDRUMS!!!! BEST DRUMS EVERRRR!!!!!! AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE

[SaschaBlue]

The thing at the front kind of looks like Elmo.

[85MrMr]

omg they painted the 3 red lines XDD

[korikako]

the best album cover that i heve ever seen

[jollofrulz]

Impressive!!

[shankeith]

....or they just could have just used photoshop instead

[SafeeG]

@shankeith Jay got alot of money, he gotscha spend it on something!

[TheOfficialTrapBoyz]

@shankeith that probably would've taken out the character of the album cover

[gwvliet1994]

@shankeith its about the art of it, the skills

i know i type crap :P

[MplayerM]

@shankeith

thats about being proffesional or not..photography is flawless..photoshops arent

[officialmcsi]

@shankeith lol, much easier

[youngmo77]

@shankeith Instead os wasting time money and energy on ... this. Co-sign.

[Profetul13]

@shankeith ...and he could of been replaced by autotune.

[LyrixChannel]

@shankeith yeahh..thats just as fun..

[damarh]

the

[pampulabros]

@shankeith there's something more worthy than your PC dude...

[Kkkatja]

@shankeith yeah i always thought that they made it by computer haha! but it being a real piece of art, rather than just being a thing made with photoshop, makes it way more special. it actually goes VERY well along with the lyrics on jay's song D.O.A.

[animeslbabe]

@ UndercoverLdn

stop the NWO!! thts fucked up man. jizz in a bitch u asswhore. fuckup u gon get killed pussy U GON GET KILLED!

[gorrilaunit99]

nice, wheres jays devil worshipping ass while they were making this.

[DudeWhoMakesBeats]

the thing at the the very front looks like two eyes square nose and a mouth

[sourceoftruth444]

Please could you watch The Obama Deception to find out the extent of not only the American but many other nations political systems level of corruption and lies to the public. This is very important. Thank you.

Jay-z is a freemason now 3rd degree. What a shame, selling is soul for money and fame. May God have mercy...

[TheDanielwms]

My bulerprint 3 cover video.

[bangmanish]

Very cool. Must have cost a small fortune to make, but he has the green to do it.

[projectbrownman]

I'd assumed it was a digital image- the fact that it's all analogue is really refreshing. If I'd done that I'd have made a song and dance about it.

[kht777]

Jay's a freemason now!

[TheYoungMoneyShow]

I think im the only 1 who really understand what those 3 line are for :/ no going into that convo 2nite.

[DjNotaGD]

@TheYoungMoneyShow mee toooo :) people are clueless . Three Lines = 3rd Deqree Masonn !

[thafubu]

[BRAINDAMIDGE]

Check me out youtube. com/watch?v=usgUR2HTagU

[extremehiphopfreak]

Wow..That is just WOW and amazing!

[MaiMaiShow]

no just my opinion as an artist and as a consumer. It took a lot of effort to paint a bunch of junk white with a red stripe. But I guess when you got money to burn...

[MaiMaiShow]

that was a lot of manpower wasted on a big pile of NOTHING. Seriously they paid all those people to make that big pile of "nevea gonna remember the cover"? I am usually very open minded but watching that-well I want my 3 minutes back. They could have photoshopped that big ugly red stripe. Was it red? I dont remember. I DONT REMEMBER!

[ringking95]

@MaiMaiShow i guess in every crowd there is at least one hater.

[MaiMaiShow]

@ringking95 or one extremely petty person who doesnt understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[luckylatio77]

@MaiMaiShow Why did davinci paint that smile on monalisa? Oh like it matters we're not going to remember what mona lisa's smile looked like anyways Am I right Mai?

[MaiMaiShow]

@luckylatio77 seriously? Seriously? Im OFFENDED you would compare that pseudo art to one of the world's great masters. That pile of junk is no Mona Lisa. Dare you compare a raindrop to the sea? Smh ah what fakes and aspires to be art for arts sake is not always ART.

[luckylatio77]

@MaiMaiShow You point is invalid

let me break it to you davinci wasn't famous from the start he started with lesser works that showed his talent in art just like the cover of blueprint how can you say its not art? the maker might be the next davinci and btw you saying that just shows what you know about art... Nothing. btw for all you who saying the three lines represent him being a third degree mason... the three lines is how you write 3 in chinese blueprint "3" makes sense?

[amasensuale]

amazing JOB!

[hek7or]

I really thought that it was a CGI!!! o_o . Thanks for the video

[snailjuicerap]

i woulda jumped on all that shit and fucked everything up and got fired lol

[Winter077]

@YoungnFlossin LOL
