Great albums with awful album covers?

Post images of great albums with awful covers.

This would be an awful MIXTAPE cover, just why Hopsin?

Nas looks like a monkey. A monkey that stole his color-blind grandma's jumpsuit.

Not awful, but it's always bugged me. Em looks kinda like a lil kid, and not intimidating at all.

I like Stillmatic's cover, and he looks like an Orangutang. Though I'm pretty sure there's a different color patter where Nas is wearing the same outfit, anyways.

I like Ghostface, but eh...

Image

Is he breastfeeding?

Image

meh

Image

I love this album and it's probably not a bad cover, but Havoc's head looks like a piece of burnt chicken. And Prodigy looks like he's making a kissy face, which is a big no no for a supposedly Noir hardcore rap album...

Image

Talk about bland

Image

lol

Now a thread with great album covers that are great albums would be interesting.

Basically every Master P album cover.

If his black then my mistake. But that comment is racist as fuck. And so is your comment about Havoc's head looking like burnt chicken.

I ain't racist, I was kidding around. I love Havoc and Mobb Deep, but no really parts of his head does a lot darker than others, probably cause of the lighting.
