Juvenile's "Reality Check": Album Cover of The Year

| 66 Comments

I don't care how the album sounds. Juve's cover art is gully enough:

This cover has the power to keep what happened in New Orleans at the forefront of our consciousness, even though the media has already forgotten about it. Let's hope this is the actual final cover, and not a mocked-up promo.

I see....I suppose Juvenile has took a "consious" rapping style now...

hmmm..........

hmmm.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! WTF?! Juvenile? a serious rapper?? Oh my, I only what heart drenched songs he will make...but hey, I like 'em so I'll probably get the album....

Juvenile + Master P = Weird Picture

Make light of his efforts if you want, but I take it as a shot at our poor excuse for a "government," which is becoming a trend after that infamous Kanye telethon speech. Thas whassup! I'd been waiting for someone to say that since 2000!

It looks like a promo... but that would be excellent if it were the album cover.

But yeah, then the album would have to be on some socially/politically aware shit...

rather moreso than he usually is.

That would be something...juve going with the social/political angle on this joint. I hope he addresses the real topics like his album cover denotes as well as this dick in the booty ass regime bush is spear heading.
Iraq...Iraq...Iraq...but can't clean up your own backyard. Sorry ass actor, oil monkey for a president, who telling children to settle for mediocrity. In Miami where I live (Wilma) it was the same shit in principle. Wake up people! They don’t give a fuck!

This is definetly a promo. But dont sleep though, Juvie is capable of a concious song every now and then. I mean, he's gonna have to say something after all that has happened. I expect every rapper out of N.O. to have atleast one song addressing this issue from here on out.

But it is a strange coincidence though, because Juvie already named is album "Reality Check" way before Katrina hit. Maybe this is his shot to do something political and change his image up. I mean the dude is like in his mid 30's now. Time to be on some grown man shit.

THATS FUCKED UP IM NOT BLACK BUT THATS BULL SHIT I WISH I COULD CHANGE IT BUT I CANT ITS SHIT LIKE THAT THAT GIVES ALL US WHITE PEOPLE A FUCKED UP RAP ITS THAT KIND OF SHIT THAT DRIVES THE WADGE DEEPER AND DEEPER I MEAN HOW CAN WE EVER GET ALONG IF WHEN WHITE PEOPLE LOOT ITS FINDING WHEN BLACK PEOPLE LOOT ITS STILL LOOTING THATS BULL SHIT

You know I am from the West Indies, I have live here for 10 years now, and during the last 4 years it has been a great comic show to watch and to hear. The present administration make all people living here looks like we are retarded. I mean from one fuck up to the other and what are we doing about it? I'll give you my stratgy: Change the laws that allows the people, like the president, the vice president, the defence sec, Miss Condi (coconut) Rice (brown on the outside but white on the inside) to be tried for war crimes and pay for their fuck ups before they die of natural causes, don't wait for 50 years when they are all gone and people put most of the things they have done behind them and move on. I think if they know that shelter is no longer there and the could die of lethal injection, executions and a long time in federal the pen. We would'nt have so much fuck ups given the consequences nahhh. Just a thought! Has America ever had a president in exile or put in jail.

man you dont know how fucked up shit is. i live in the south, the heart of greatness and the heart of stupidity and hate. all you dudes from up north thought this shit ended when MLK took a stand but hell naw. you think it aint a serious issue til now, but ive seen old men take the n-word and not care, they were so used to it. shit needs to change. fuck the government. all these right-wing mafuckers need to get a clue. i heard a rich man sayin " i just dont feel sorry for those people in new orleans right now." if every american could get a taste of poverty, we would be a much better place to live.

Atlantic Records took the image down: 'artwork not available'.

Good looking on getting the image.

truth be told, Louisiana government is fucked. They squander all the fed gov money in personal shit and not helping people. Kathleen Blanco is the worst govenor in history 2nd place goes to Arnold The Terminator.

Yeah conscious my @s*, how much of them sales are going to the affected??? Probably zipppp!!! He's just staying relevant by any means.

Good for Juve for that! The Source or Vibe magazine should place the image on the cover of their magazine for one issue because alot of people are forgetting about what happened. Last I checked, my folks who were out there still cant go back. Did anyone here that Kevin Garnett donated over 1 million dollars for the relief. That's some trill shit.

I'm reading everyone's remarks and things...This is for those 18 and older and who are actually able to vote...DID YOU VOTE? If not shut the hell up you didn't do anything to change what has been going on the past 4 years so therefore don't complain now. Nothing kept you from voting but you didn't so you kind of brought this upon yourself

WTF Jasmine! Cuz some people didn't vote is the reason why this article was created? The way people view a certain situation doesn't have shit to do with who won the election. The relief may have different but we are talking bout this article. The hurricane would have happened even with Kerry in office. It's not like Bush himself wrote those comments above them pictures. You are way off. Are you over 18? Shit i doubt it with that way of thinking. It was a fucking natural disaster! I doesn't matter if you voted or not.

Big ups to juve for that shit right there. I'm in the process on putting that on a white tee right now. Kanye said it right on point when he talked about George Bush not caring about black folks. More of our black entertainers need to step up and talk about this shit instead of drugs and violence all the time. Fuck this system. Black people need to step up and start voting and educating themselves cause its not all about money cause all the shit we buy right now, whitey get rich off of. And black folks stick together and stop hating on each other. You should be happy when a black man succeeds.

Im not bying the album now just cuz of the cover...juvinille a racist bitch. I bet he hasn't even visited New Orleans recently to visit the victims.

LOL @ Mike....I don't think Juvi got "the balls" to have that as a album cover....or does he? I guess we shall see soon...

mike you bumd bastard he lived in new orleans he is a victim
and who is he racist against?

BIGCED I know what this article is about. I'm not commenting on the article I'm actually talking about some of the other people's comments if you would have took the time to read them. Alot of people are talking about how Bush don't care about black people well I asked the question how many people actually voted.I'm not stupid I know natural disasters are not controlled but there could have been more action taken to help the victims. I think you need to get your mind right

Fuck CashMoney, Baby and them suppose to have all that money and didn't do really shit. Big shout out to Master P. and go get'em Juve !!! Wayne calling Baby his daddy is just real fucking sick....I will get that B.G. and Juve no doubt. Fuck the Carter 2, Fireman already some bullshit !!! I'm out and always...fuck Fat Joe !!!

Wat-up, holla at yo boy

Jasmine, what about the 2000 election? The people voted, yet their voice was not heard.

Mike you're a retard. Go get the new XXL (Juve cover) and read the article on Juve.

Juve is not going to change his style up and I for one wouldn't want him to. Go cop that new Gangsta Grillz album feat Juve and you'll see that he's going to remain the same ol' Juve

He is real for this album and ya'll don't need to hate off of this album. As soon as this album comes out I'ma get it. Juve my baby and I got love for him!!! 1

Juvenile is the shit. He's Tha king of New Orleans since Souljah Slim passed away. When his muthafuckin new album drop, it's over. Juvy finna put New Orleans back on the muthafuckin map so muthafuckas better be careful.

This is a down south thing to tha fullest, especially when it comes to my city New Orleans. Niggaz better get up on it.

WOW!!!E.RANDLE you're asking me what does this have to do with anything? Your saying I'm stupid? You wrote a whole f*cking book on what I said did it bother you that much? Freedom of speech right?Why is it not ok for me to speak my mind? HATERS GET ON YOUR JOB!!! Oh by the way learn how to format a correct paragraph before calling somebody STUPID! ;)

for those who dont know, juve did bounce music first then transitioned to makin fiya muzik. way back then he was boisterous about corruption in govt. (DirtyWorld/1st HotBoys album1997)
...show me a politician and ill show you a crook/ show me a police officer that go by the book...

And I say fuck you, your a racist bitch and need to be rubbed out slow. One less fag to annoy us.

Mike dude what is your problem???

I currently live in Fort lauderdale, florida and resently we had wilma strike us and it wasn't as bad as katrina BUT there was alot of shit going down they didn't get broadcasted. People were looting on the low. When the power went out all them hood niggaz hit the streets stealing snacks and jewerly and white people where stealing generators from each other.I seen it. I remember walking past a bus stop on US-1 and i overheard niggaz plottin' to rob. not all black folks but alot were getting the itchy feeling to crack a window or to. When FEMA came and set up shop in Holiday Park blacks started complaining why they didn't get there sooner and complaining about service....it was like stupid.Those FEMA trucks were coming from all over the country. The started loading up when the first said that wilma will it florida. Those truckers were on the road for days trying to get here. So when wilma hit florida the trucks were just barely geting here.There were Blacks complaining over some free food.The white barely complained, the hispanics didn't nor asians.Why were they complain over free food and water? The supermarkets were open here they could have went to go BUY the shit!!!!! I was at the FEMA site everyday early to get my 2 gallons of water and MRE i got it and was thankful. The niggaz was acting like they couldn't wait like they got other shit to do. What shit??? Everything is fucked up nothing works.

I wasn't looting. FEMA came and i took advantage. As long as i had food and water i was straight but niggaz was talking about stealing jewerly and CDS. You can fuckin' eat a CD!!!!!!!!! I seen white people tack up signs that read "Looters will be shot" AKA "Niggers will be shot if you come up in my store tripping" Now there is a possible hurricane coming to florida again. I bet the same shit is going to happen, i know it!

How come when blacks get caught on national T.V don't something bad its somehow not our fault??? Everybody can talk the candycoat shit and make up excuses but the truth is alot, ALOT of niggaz was stealing down there in 'nawlins. If it could happen over again it would be the samething. It would happen her in florida too. oh, i forgot.The same day after the hurricane Wilma passed I walked to the beach to check out all the dmage just like anyone else and this old car drives up and gets stuck in the sand on the street. Their were two black guys in there looking frantic then both hop out to try and push the car. I went to HELP them i told one guy to give it a litle gas while we push and he got the car out. Before i could get a thank you them sweaty jheri curl niggaz jumped in the car and BOUNCED!!!! They burnt out and left me standing to inhale that cloud of sand and smoke. I tell u what, I know they were gathering seashells!!!! Not at that hour!

Fuck Juve

I heard that Juve really gonna use the exact same cover as 50's Massacre, except he's gonna photoshop it and put his face on 50's body. He's also changing the name of his CD to "The Katrina Massacre".

Juve aint shit hes trying to get paid. Maybe he should sign with G- Unot and suck 50 ass just like Mase

juve is a member of the kkk and he dont like black people

I love the amount of pure bold faced ignorance of so many on this site. Instead of spending money on nikes and clothes, how about hiring a tutor. Even better yet how about just having a clue as to the world outside of your small box. Juve is using the image for controversy and not for a message. Let's be realistic!!! He's got an uphill battle to pushing 4x platinum and this is one way to get free publicity. When will we learn???

Do yall think Juve gonna feature 50 on his album, since he's stealing 50's massacre cover for his CD?

Yo to the dude that said Wayne is wack, dont know much about shit. His flow is crazy and has been a lyrical mastermind. Not hatten on any of the other N.O. rappers because they got that heat. with the whole Juve cover, idk, i mean if thats what he wants then do it, its just sad that Im white, but all my dudes are black, and im gonna have to deal with looking at that cover all the time, even though im not racist. As for the 50 thing, i hope not Juve is to real to have him on this album. RIP to Soulja Slim your music will be missed.

Juve do what u do man a lot of of this mainstream azz fa@#ot azz don't buy the music cuzz they like it just buy it cuzz its on tv azz fans dont understand that in the industry u have to be versatly to make it. every know and again u got to switch it up so u wont be on that same ol s@#t that people get tired of hearing. if juve wanna let some pain off his chest ride wit the n@#@a. he just lost the place where he grew up from u would be a little more concious about your surrounds too. i feel what he is on and the album needs to be place up all over the white house so those people can see what we see.

realest one
forever bangin
