…………..HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
It’s not that deep bruh…its just an album cover, anything can be an album cover even ur fav sn3ekerz, im sure rapp3rz with baby pics on their covers dont rap about babies. It really isn’t that deep honestly.
This reminds me of an earth wind and fire cover…..
You young ass niggas know nothing about that real music…
I dislike and have to agree this music does not represent the symbolism shown here who they think they fooling?
The symbol means freedom which is why America uses the eagle as the representation of that. This is the original symbol from the 18th dynasty in Egypt. Now go look at the great seal of America…
My fault, the symbol means divine authority and eternal protection…
The symbol is heru the original jesus more then 5000 years ago Egypt(kemet). Born dec 25 of immaculate conception, died on the cross celebrated at the spring Equinox except africans knew he was a myth about the actual sun in the sky. White Europeans created Christianity Jesus out of heru except made him a real person. they legitimized at the council of Nicea in 326 ad. The image of Jesus was originally black Michaelangelo and Leonardo made him white in their paintings and the image used today for white supremacy. heru was the savior and where we get hero from. Look it up its very easy to find.
I wasn’t gonna take it there because people can find that on their own. What were discussing is centuries of information and throughout the centuries (and thousands of years) many different things took place and symbols had multiple meanings and uses themselves. This symbol here is in regards to divine authority in the 18th dynasty and Tutankhamun used it as his seal. Now I here what your saying but you used the symbol to make a point about Jesus which is something people would have found out anyway once they got into Horus and the pyramid text…. This symbol was already around before the time period of Christianity so I don’t want people to skip right into the time of Europeans without looking into ancient Egypt first. You say the information is easy to find? and for the most part it is however, there are aspects of ancient Egypt and Africa that are not posted online anywhere. There are documents in regard to what were discussing people would have to go physically seek out the further they get into this subject matter. Just saying
I hear you but if people want the information they can deal with the truth if not it’s not meant for them to know. By going to the source of heru and that’s him being a myth about the sun in the sky you eliminate a lot of the confusion. Because that’s the oldest starting point heru was about black men understanding the sun cycles and seasons and using this to go from hunter gatherer to civilizations of kings and queens. Black people don’t have time to pussyfoot it’s go time the real ones can take it like u and i did.
I get that too but when you bring up religion or race, even though you have reason to? What its also gonna do is take light off other aspects of ancient history that black people should know. I really am not too concerned with how white people take it but black people are highly religious as well. If they want their christian religion then I say let them believe in that because that too also has its good values. However there are other elements about ancient Egypt and Africa too that have nothing to do with religion that black people should get into and know about because Africa at one point was a whole nation of black people run by black people and the knowledge behind that is more important to me then an debate with my own people about religion. I still see your point though…
I also would rather not deal with religion because once you mention religion or Jesus to people? Its like they stop hearing what your saying after that because all their caught up in is “belief”…. People need to look at it as history first imo.
It’s not only the symbolism it’s the execution of it as well. It just looks really professional. If you want to see some symbolic cover art that isn’t executed well at all go to datpiff.com.
I think people need to look at this as more then art especially if you a MC in Hip Hop today. This symbol and others like it is more then just art, it represents a whole culture. It was Hip Hop before there was ever a Hip Hop. You got young artists today looking at gang culture, or hustler culture, or some playa bullshit, dressin up actin like this is a fashion show or some shit (-Rza)… rappin about strippers and jewelry and whatever…. Straight up and down, THIS is your culture right here. Go find out where this symbol and others like it came from and find out how the people back then used to talk using metaphors, entendres, poetics and then generations later you just born with some kinda rhyming ability that one day just clicked on like it was always there. I just watched an interview with Azealia Banks on Hot 97 with Ebro and Rosenberg and it just got me feeling some kinda way but I was already feeling like that before I listened to the interview but what they was talking about goes back to what Im saying right now. Anyway, I just think niggas need to look back in time for a minute so they can go to the future and in Hip Hop in 2014, it needs to start with the origin of symbols such as this because this was the original Hip Hop culture…. One
Yo my G…*than not then…no disrespect..that shit irks me
I do that on purpose because when we say “than” the a sounds like an e… I know thats not the proper way though.
That’s a really weird reason to willfully ignorant, but to each his own
Because its really not that serious nerd. You reading a comment in a c section on a Hip Hop site. This aint a report for a media publication fool. I said a bunch of other shit besides “then” that you could also bitch about, that shoulda let you know I’m just comment as a regular person not a fucking journalist from CNN.
LOL so you claiming to purposely misspell words & use improper English somehow makes me a nerd, a fool, & ignorant.
Got it, champ.
Yeah cause you scanning for improper spelling instead of getting the substance of the message because it irks you as if your irks is of any importance to anybody and again clearly I’m commenting in a tone thats more thEn obvious that I’m speaking in a particular way that people use everyday in conversation… This is not a speech written for a press conference. You are ignorant to this simply understood form of speaking.
it means the boogie man is coming to get u bamas lmao u fk bois is pussy…they project shit into yall minds and control u from there…u fkn spineless puppets…BOO!!! I BET YOU JUST JUMPED OUT YA SHOES CTFU
His baby mama black chyna and his son name king cairo. Tyga either asian or african he can only pick one
He’s half asian and half black, he cant pick one lool
A Egyptian falcon with his wings spread. Kanye West and his creative team donda… design this bull shit cover…
WHY DOES TYGA USING THE LOGO FROM THE ROCK GROUP JOURNEY
It’s black art from black Egypt(kemet). Blacks created civilization that’s why heru who that represents means savior. Heru is the hero meaning blacks are the heroes
i know that go and look at some of journey album covers from the 70s and early 80s
remember how he also stole the title Hotel California, which is the Eagles most famous song/album/
oh word i dont remember seeing that one but is he recreating album covers now i guest he probably thought that nobody would know about this artists or album art work
Birdman bout to call tyga up like “ay playboi u callin that album the gold album u know damn well that shit gonna go triple wood when we fuck up your contract we keepin it 100 u either with us or you aint its tha stunna 100 flashy lifestyle ya hearddd *cackaahhh brrrrr*
LMFAO http://toomanyfuckinrappers.tumblr.com/
This beautiful cover is too worthy to be used by the hippity hoppity ass nigga Tyga.
That’s heru, the real jesus from Egypt(kemet) born on dec 25 of immaculate conception more then 5000 years ago. He was a myth about the cycles of the actual sun in the sky and who they model the Christian God jesus as well as over 25 other gods after. Look it up it’s very easy to find. Resseach heru and his parents ausar and auset the real holy trinity.
That’s a really dope cover art. I had a feeling DONDA did it before you even mentioned it. The only sad thing is I know his music will be a complete fail, no matter how much window dressing they put on it.
DONDA: making great covers for terrible albums since 2012!
Cash money doing tyga like Atlantic did mistah fab. E1 records need to stop playin and go grab that 50000 first week! Gold singles quit being a baby and buy your contract like a boss not a little brat lmao. Like my nigga north memphis plugs plug Yo Gotti!!
