Music Thread #1 for 8/3/09: The Full Runthrough, Including Jay-Z New Mehhhhh Album Cover
Busy day today on the music thread. Here we go.
The big story of the day is Jay-Z revealing his new cover for his Blueprint 3 album, dropping on 9/11 of all days, just like the first Blueprint installment eight years ago. This cover just makes me want to regurgitate, seriously.
It is not only far from aesthetically pleasing, it is just flat out ugly and brutal to look at.
The quality of a CD is never based off an album cover. I just hope the album is a total 180 difference from the cover. Though after the "We Run This" single, well, the signs are a little shaky. But it's Hov, so, I trust indeed in Mr.Carter.
Larry King, the master of the Michael Jackson posthumous coverage, will now give Chris Brown a forum to apologize to the world again.
Speaking of Brown, the other Mr.Carter had to show him some support apparently.
Speaking of more MJ talk, Akon remembers good times with the departed "King of Pop."
More Jay-Z news: He, Coldplay, and Tool Electrify Waterlogged did their thing at All Points West on Friday.
Billboard.com, way to take
The song title of Bed-Stuy's own Deemi and not give her credit.
I wish the music industry would wise up just a little and give her an honest chance.
And finally, as I said on a facebook status today:
Your music thread #1 for the day. Peace.

When asked by MTV News for a comment about the performance, Weezy responded simply via e-mail through a rep: "U kno I had to show him sum luv."
