What you are about to read may shock you.
Here are Geffen’s art department’s final 3 cover mock-ups:
Which do you think they should go with?

If you click my name, it points to a Village Voice article that talks about all the release issues with this album.
Basically, if you’ve already bought it, you got one of the worst collector’s items ever.

My Bad.
Just seems like there are a lot of “check out these links” type posts going on over here lately is all.
As a fan of Oh Word and DP.com, as well as an amateur filmmaker, looking forward to seeing this Bodega movie.

This is great. Although in my mind I substitute “Sup Fam?” for “Sup Homies” and include a “Holla at cha Boy” somewhere in there too and it’s funnier to me.

Too bad you don’t sell shirts any more, as the third agent b design would make a great one.
