i like the one wit the cop, but the cop doesnt look cut out well, and its mad outta place as far as photo quality goes. and change the text to somethin grungier. <with that said, i like the 1st one

I would go with the first one. With the suggestions Sanova made it would be dope. And ya can't forget ya boy Relic on the cover. Theres nothing that says hip hop like a white cop sayin Straight FIIIYA! LOL...

So, like a grungey text, and what about a hip-hop artist sayin it, and make the artist have that comic book look to him?

any dialect at all on the cover wouldn't look so hot imo.
yea grungy text, dont make it look so happy..so change the text colors as well.

just take the dude out all togehter, see how it looks without anything there, and if it looks to plain u can throw in a cut out of an artist, and adjust the hues, opacity, and darkness so that it looks like an unidentifiable shadow, and just mix it in like an instrument to a beat.

What about Ghostface knee droppin the cop in the grill? And ya gotta keep the Straight FIIIYA caption in there someplace.

Honestly I think both look pretty bad when compared to the quality of real mixtapes out there that pay graphic designers to do their artwork in excess of $75.00 to Hundreds . . . They aren't the correct size either . . .

I can help out if you'd like . . . Heres something I just whipped up real fast just to show an idea . . . Don't put artists on the cover who aren't featured on the mixtape because that makes no sense and may throw off the listener making think that person is featured on the mixtape . . .

Just a quick idea I whipped up in photoshop . . . If you'd like I could change or add more or come up with something else . . .

Let me know . . .

I hate to say it Money, but I'm feelin H&R's idea. Maybe with some color in there though. I see a cover collab in the works. I like the vinyl and needle aspect.

yeah man the pic must have sumtin to do with the "basics" put a vynil pic or a picture from a technics sumtin that stays for basics in music or wuteva just fuck with the name of the mixtape and connect the name with the artwork.that cop and jail shit really dont make sense to me but its funny.
