That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

But what are your predictions for the real cover? I think Aftermath will go for a blank cover, like 2001. Looks more sophisticated and gives the impression the album has nothing to prove (although, of course, this album has EVERYTHING to prove).

I predict the album title plus some kinda logo. If they were really pushing it they wouldn't even put Rakim's name on the front, just on the spine. Imagine walking into the record shop and seeing the CD there, with a cover that simply says "Oh My God".

Take off Rakim's pic which is obviously fake, remove the crappy MSPaint text that says Oh My God, and then maybe spraypaint Oh My God on that wall and it would look believable.. to an extent.

On a more serious note, what do you all think the album cover should look like?  We already had some input from Lord Funk, anyone else have any ideas?

Word, I'd like to see it take on the same style as '2001' did.

I reckon the cover will either be simiar to Dre's 2001 or Similar to The Chronic.. With just Rakim's portrait and the words Oh My God written on the front..

Ha, ha. That's a good one.
Funny, even when I know it has to be a fake, I still check for posts like this one on Rakim. A lot of people waiting for this shit.
About the real cover? I think it will be Rakim up front, heavily thinking, maybe holding a cane in his hand or something. I think "Oh My God" won't even be printed on the cover.

Well, as fake as that cover does look, if you actually check the cover for Rakim's last release The Master that shit isn't actually much better. However I am expecting a much more stylist cover for this release, something which stands out but which isn't too flashy.
