Post your favorite album covers!

[ScholarWenis]

I started this thread so we can post our favorite (TROY ERA) album covers. The music doesn't have to be good, this is purely aesthetics.

Hell yeah, I love that scarface cover! Thanks Beatorious & Night_Shade, I'm gonna use those pics for wallpaper.

This album here may not be great, but I love the cover, something about the color scheme appeals to me:



& can't forget this classic...

^ Probably my favorite, after all these years i still can't have enough of it. Futura is beyond competition.



^ Cypress artwork was always top quality stuff during the 90's, especially the CD inlay photos.

From the standpoint of being a visual artist, the first album I remember admiring was EPMD's 3rd. I remember wanting to visit the graphic design studio that created it called The Drawing Board as a teen. Bizzare Ride, RZA as Bobby Digital and Stress are also up there on my list for artistic effort.

Great Black & White Photography: Mama Said Knock You Out & 6 Feet Deep

Great Color Photography & Design Combination: Only Built For Cuban Linx and Wrath Of The Math by Daniel Hastings, RZA's Birth Of A Prince and Pete Rock & CL's The Main Ingredient

Great Computer Illustration & Design: Digital Bullet by RZA as Bobby Digital

Couple of my favorites (True Game, Dare iz a Darkside) have already been posted in this thread...but here are (more than) a few more:
























Just off top...I could add a dozen more.

[ChaMerZ]

The Takeover is TROY?

[Verge]

whenever i think of favorite covers, that EPMD that brandon posted is the first thing that comes to mind and then the Organized Stress album. I like seeing the more obscure and/or non east coast ones, that Above The Law one looks dope.

[WoofY]

Theres a few already posted...mostly all the early 90's Rap A Lot albums...

[TheBigSleep]

Great topic. I also love covers that pay homage to older covers but that could be a thread on its own.

And now it is! Feel free to help add on to what I have already.

And to contribute to this thread, this one isn't exactly / strictly hip hop but I've always liked this cover:

Jellybean - Wotupski!?! (1984)
