The cover is ill. I guess you don't understand what it means. The album is titled The Fix and a "fix" is when a junkie gets his drugs. The drug represented on the cover is heroin since their is a lighter and a metal cap/pan which Scarface's face is reflected on. If you didn't know heroin users heat up the heroin to turn it into liquid form. In this case Scarface's face is represented in the cap/pan instead of heroin meaning he is giving his fans their "fix" which is the music he makes. I guess it's too deep for you...

I like the artwork, pretty simplistic but as you've pointed out and described it has alot of meaning. Whenever i've shown my friends the artwork of "The Dairy" they always say it's pretty wack at first but once I explain the whole concept of the album and what not they appreciate it more. Some people just don't understand connotations, oh well.

The Diary is one of my favorite covers ever. The concept of the door opening [the album] into a "dark" room where Scarface's diary [his mind/inner thoughts] is was classic in every sense of the word. The raw and dark feel of the illustration represented the whole aura of the album perfectly. The cover is simplistic at first glance but there is more to it than just a picture. The cover for The Fix ain't even coming remotely close to The Diary or even The Last Of A Dying Breed but by all means it isn't wack IMO but everyone has different tastes.

When a drug addict satisfies his drug appetite by purchasing and then using his drug of choice = FIX

I dumbed it down enough so there are no other words that can make it easier for you to understand FO' SHEEZY!
