I decided to go with an album that’s as yellow as Shakira’s hair on that card.

I honestly don't get why so many thought this was a bad album cover. I like yellow. It's there something that I'm not seeing hidden in the picture or is it made out of something I can't decipher?

My hip-hop collection is pretty small; I went with this one since it reminds me of warm weather for some reason.

It’s not the yellow it’s the weird picture of him.

Dónde están los ladrones?



Edit: I thought for sure I'd regret selling my VMP copy, but this Walmart one sounds pretty dang close to how good that one was.

This is a kick ass gem of an album! Very Outkast and Cool Kids.

I haven't seen it in person, so I still don't really get it. It just looks kind of abstract? Is there a real picture under the paint?

I mean it looks subdued to me on the vinyl. It was some kind of layer thing. I think the cd even has a slip cover and some die cutting to get the depth it was supposed to have. Art is always subjective. Just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s ugly or not worth looking at.

I mean I wouldn't go look at it in a museum or anything, I just didn't think it was really an ugly or worst album cover of the year contender from what I could see and thought maybe I was missing something that I couldn't make out on it.

It looks like someone spit up banana flavored milk from the 70’s all over him.

I never saw this before, but that is an apt description.
