The Definitive "All 6s and 7s" Thread

[MysticOracle]

i just dont get it?.....the frohawk, the MK outfit...i am 6's and 7's about this cover...

 

[nesta]

I Think This Cover Is Clownin...& It Doesn't Really Bother Me. Why Should It?

 

[306]

Gay cover. No pre-order for me.

 

[shaggz17]

he's always said the name all 6's and 7's was inspired by a tat he wanted to get.

if by always you mean one interview then yes, ALWAYS

The cover is wack.

But I dont care about album covers.

Im keeping my fingers crossed for a Shang Tsung feature.

 

[Kain]

May not be Shang Tsung, but Tech is attempting to get Tyler the Creator before mastering in a week.

Oh yeah, FANS is the shit by the way.. I dont know how he does it, he can really capture his emotion in his songs whether it be sad, happy, angry or downright insane.. This is another real ass track Tech.. keep it going

 

[DustinBowls]

and thats just a preorder track, i think he's already done all his verses for the album so, this could be like both parts good and evil together. to me it sounds depressing a little but we all know hes acutally happy for the love from his fans. its quite amazing to hear for the first time.

r u fucking joking me????? ur not pre ordering based on the cover? at least lie and dont preorder cuz u dont like the song or somthing (which u cant do cuz FANS is dope as fuck)

 

[MrCrafty]

bwahahaha at that cover, tech lost the homer simpson belly too

 

[Raul lVl. XIV]

bwahahaha at that cover, tech lost the homer simpson belly too

He must have been doing that T-90-X

 

[Gofer]

I thought as far as album covers by Tech it couldnt get any gayer than Killer..... I was wrong. But I agree with the mostly everyone here that its the music that counts.

 

[lvwytemike]

i think he's proud to be cut now, cant blame someone for doing that. almost reminds me of 50cent with GRorDT

 

[krazee d]

cut????? unless u seem him in person recently u cant tell by that cover.....its completely computer generated....now i agree that Tech is as real as it gets, but theres no way he'd have a gut on his on album cover......same reason a hot girl with A titties will don a patted bra....

 

[lvwytemike]

i cant tell, wasnt really lookin at the picture like that. I just figured with him tweetin about fitness centers and videos of him on a treadmill he was BEEFCAKIN it out

 

[Tech231]

Maybe it's cross promotion and he's gonna get plugs from Mortal Kombat... it is Mortal Kombat 9, after all.

And I hate to break it to Tech, but ain't nobody holding a red hot branding iron that close to the brands.

But if he held them closer to the handles, you wouldn't be able to tell what he's holding!!!

 

[L.D.S.]

There's so much wrong with that cover, while at the same time being right.

Wrong:
He looks like an MK character.
He's holding the brands unrealistically close to the hottest part, with no smoke or burning flesh to show it being an aesthetic choice
He's sweaty looking

Right:
Despite all the above, it's off putting in much the same way as the AngHellic cover was.
It makes you think about what's really going on.
He's branded in a multitude of unpredictable, unarranged places... which is chaotic.
He appears to have branded himself, making him seem tough as nails and crazy as hell.
He could appear to be a blacksmith with the brands and the vest/apron, and that puts off a masochistic vibe.
The Roman Numerals apply "hidden" relating items that go back to the album title (LXVII = 67)

For someone gathering the hottest in the game for his album, this cover is certainly still very much "Tech". The Everready cover was the most mainstream accessible album cover he's ever done, and this is the opposite end of that spectrum.
