I dont think Lone and Stino meant the symbols on the outside so much as they meant the triangle with the circle and lupe’s name in it. tak out a dollar bill and look at the back, its pretty similar to the pyramid with the eye, which is most assuredly a free mason symbol

respect to beat coz he couldnt be more right with what hes saying.
i also think that the triangle with a symbol on each corner is meant to show the concept of the inconsistant triad, the fact that only two of the factors can exist together.
In religious terms its gods omnibenevolence, omnipotence, and evil. I think lupes tryna do the same thing with his album characters.

Even if the album is masonic y r u thinkin of it in reference to Lupe, when u should be thinkin of it in ref to the concept album. The skeleton hand is about the cool losing his righteousness, the locket belong to the streets and the skull is about the game. If it is Masonic its in ref to these characters being corrupt not lupe himself. As for his name its Persian calligraphy, he is muslim so get over it, do ur homework 1st youngins!

I’m actually appalled that Stino said he was disgusted to see Arabic calligraphy. Point A is that the font of Lupe Fiasco’s Food and Liquor was, while different, still Arabic in nature. Point B is that, god forbid, there are more than one culture in the world. And masonic? Are you kidding me? Get a life, my dudes

Great cover. very meaningful. Beat is correct in everything he says about the cover and its symbolism. I may also add that this is the best rap cd since the late, great Notorious B.I.G. He is the present and the future of rap.

He is changing the game. Finally… it died with Christopher Wallace but Lupe is trying to bring it back slowly… Epic CD. Thank you Lupe.

not to be a jerk or anything, but lone and Stino… if you actually listened thoroughly to the lyrics of the songs on the album you would realize that the three symbols around lupe’s name on the cover represent the three characters that he tells the story of throughout the album. the three characters are the cool, the game, and the streets. the cool starves for peer acceptance while the game represents trickery and deception. finally, streets is a woman that serves as the backdrop for the action presented throughout the album’s story and deep concept. listen to “the coolest” “put you on game” and “die”.
