I wear a mask all day. Hate if you want to, toys, but guess what? it makes for ill album art.







The Villain admires this album artwork. Innovation in hiphop is a must, even if its makes your skin crawl. Never judge a book by its cover, but there's a lot to be said about an emcee/group that puts some creative effort into their packaging.

Whose album art are you feelin'? Does their album live up to their artwork?

The music was kind of abstract with a distinct and smooth flow just like his album cover. It really let people know what to expect from him as an artist and somewhat gave him a signature.

If this makes no sense I understand. I knew what I wanted to say, but I had a hard time putting it into words.

Dang, that was the first album that came in my mind. =P



"Bayani" -- Blue Scholars. While browsing through albums, this one would probably be one of the first ones I notice, just because of the bright album art which includes symbols and icons from the choons in store. It just gets better from there.




"Wave Twisters" -- DJ Qbert. It's not an all-serious album cover, for one, and the music definitely follows up and kicks it loose too. Q and the other artists he worked with probably had a lot of fun making this album. The music, along with the movie and DVD that was made to go with the music, is the sort of stuff that's best consumed while high. Got a good mix of futuristic and old school up on there.



"Phantazmagorea" -- D-Styles. The album art on this one's dark and sometimes just downright creepy, just like the music.


Throwin' some pure turntable music back into the mix.
