In addition to the final tracklist, the album's cover art was also revealed. Jay explained the meanings behind images on the cover to MTV.

"These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop," Hov said in an interview with MTV. "It's still about music. It's not about radio, making gimmicks -- it's still about making music. Those things are piled in the corner. These are the forgotten things about music ... The three stripes that everybody is asking about is made from the original [number] three. The first three they made on the wall was someone carving. If you look at [the number] three, all they did was connect lines. The whole thing about this album, how I approached it, is that I wanted to make a new classic to start that all over again -- to go back to making classic albums like the ones we grew up listening to."

The Blueprint 3 is slated for release September 11.
