Worst album covers

**Janszoon** · 06-18-2010, 07:05 PM

Speaking of great hip hop albums with awful covers. Here's another one I've been getting into lately. I realize it's intended to be a parody but damn is it ugly:

I'm not sure who's who in that picture but the two guys on the right are hilarious looking to me.

Scary? That's hilarious.

To make matters worse - I always thought the two guys on the right are Prince Paul and RZA. (Paul may be the one on far left though - not sure)

Maybe if they're making a joke it's not so bad but even then it would be a pretty dumb joke

I can definitely relate to this. It's exactly how I feel about Smashing Pumpkins.

Anyway, I think he just has that cover in his avatar because you know, he likes the music? I take it you consider that a crap album too.

No, I like that album a lot actually.

I wouldn't call the cover purple though. It's more of a magenta if anything.

Isn't it just... gross?

How about Gangsta Breaks by A Trak?

This one is definitely a joke though so I wouldn't call it a bad cover

Yeah that's disgusting Jans. If I was still a mod I'd infract you.

Well I like that color too.

But I dunno, I just think it looks cool, it looks totally 90s but that's part of it's appeal because it IS the definitive 90s album for me, well after Nevermind anyway.

I agree that album covers has never been one of Pearl Jam's strong suits. Binaural has an awesome cover though.
