This album is fuckin' sick IMO, but wow, he woulda sold more copies with a better cover... Probably a better title too :cheeky:

$hort's looking all: 'ehhhh, this album art sucks, sorry'

It look like someone made the cover in about 15 minutes... drunk. Stock photo of too short: check. stock photo of the bay bridge: check. microsoft default font: check. click save, click send. job over, lets get high!

Now if you were to say Cannibal Ox are hip-hop legens then I would agree with you.
.
so you would agree with saying a group that has put out ONE album being classified as legends but not a group that has been putting down in the bay for 10+ years?

dont get me wrong,you know i am a underground hip hop fanatic and cold vein is classic.

i would put cold vein in my top 20 albums of all time but i wouldnt put cannibal ox in my top 75 artists of all time

The Playa Rich Project is really ugly, but I see nothing wrong with Beelow's cover and Mama's Bad Boy - standard covers for their region/era

alot of you guys are getting "old" and "wack" confused

of course a cover is going to be wack from 1985 when they had no budget and things like photoshop didnt even exist

actually a lot of those old covers are much better than some of the stuff you see today...

sometimes a plain low quality picture is much better than somebody spending many hours with photoshop making a cover

not having photoshop also means that there's much less chance your cover will be overdone, which you often see in new covers...

I personally like covers like this one

This one is just fucked up and hopefully no one buys this shit


Pffffffffffffft. Thats one of the best album covers of all time.

How are they legends with a quality cover like that? Looks like they got no bread.

I dont buy cds without the presentation cuz i hate hearing low quality vocals and shit.
Don't judge a book by its cover.


Some of the best CDs I've ever owned have simple ass covers or cheap looking or whatever.

Example of some simple covers, good albums:
