In the days of compact disc, listeners were treated to an album booklet filled with dazzling artwork, liner notes, shout outs and song lyrics. Now that MP3s are the wave of the future, CDs and magnetic tapes are about to be labelled dinosaurs. So are the album covers.
What is your favorite album cover and why? This is a national thread, so dirty south and east coast covers are accepted in this west coast thread.
-
Bangin' On Wax - Bloods & Crips
Bullets Aint Got No Name Vol. 2 - Nipsey Hussle
Can you Feel Me - Dru Down
Eazy Duz It - Eazy-E
N.W.A and the Posse - N.W.A (My favorite, such a classic cover)

Even though III Temples was a a darker album, this one had some very Anarchy type of sound going on, and the Art work was better IMO.

Well...since we talkin about about album/mixtape covers it would definitely be a dope idea for dubcnn to have a album/mixtape cover contest where the the best album cover done by a forum member would be picked to be that particular artist album/mixtape cover.
What yall think about that?
