I honestly can’t figure out what they were thinking with The Cookie Monster Edition. This mixtape was actually used to beat a dead horse.
“Aw, he’s so adorable when he spits hot fire,” his (literal) handler must think as he gently cradles Chip in his warm, welcoming palm.ĭJ P Exclusivez & Fat Stack$$$ – BS Stacks On Deck II: The Cookie Monster Edition And Chip probably needs someone to lift him up to the mic in order to record a verse. It must be difficult for him to maintain fat stacks. Though no well stocked kitchen would be complete without a cupboard of swag.Ĭhip Da Ripper has it harder than most coming up in the rap game since he is about an eighth the size of a dollar bill according to his mixtape art. No, this is not from an officially licensed Drake release. There’s Feva, standing behind a wall in mid collapse, with a shrug that implies “Did I do that?” Oh Feva, you’re incorrigible! Just take Bussin Down Bricks, for example. (You thought Lil B was prolific?!) It’s impossible to judge the quality of all of his music, but it doesn’t look like the art direction is maintained across every tape. In fact, Feva just released a couple of mixtapes through his Datpiff page. Seventy-five mixtape to be exact. But that hasn’t stopped the Kansas City-based rapper from producing music. There’s a good chance you haven’t heard of Feva.
But what if they remade it again, starring Gucci Mane in the titular role? This raises a litany of questions. Is his name Gucci Wonka or Willy Mane? Would the chocolate factory really be a front for a criminal organization? Where is the ice cream room (to go along with his tattoo) and would I say,”brrrr” if I were to step in it? Not to knock the Johnny Depp remake, but the original 1971 iteration of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which features Gene Wilder’s iconic portrayal of the eccentric candy maker, will always be the superior film. Gucci Mane & DJ Fletch – Gucci Gone Bonkers And then there’s Todd Bridges, aka Willis himself, whose visage has been merged with that of Narnia’s main character/Jesus Christ surrogate, Aslan, The Great Lion. But it’s the little touches, such as the presence of Gary “What choo talkin’ ’bout Willis?” Coleman as a gallant knight, that truly elevate the cover to wack status.
#BEST TO WORST GUCCI MANE ALBUMS MOVIE#
It’s basically a straight rip off of the movie poster for The Chronicles of Narnia. The cover to Willis’ Narnia is terrible in a different way than the rest of the entrants in this list. It’s also clear that the Dead Head who created the artwork was paid in shrooms. The marijuana leaves used to frame your name drive that point home on their own. We get it, Dolla Bill: You like to get lifted. The only problem is that as soon as I gazed upon it, my eyeballs melted. There’s nothing inheritly offensive about the cover of Peace Pot Microdot. The cover of The Black Bar Mitzvah veers dangerously close to Donald Trump-esque visions of grandeur. But conflating riches with the trappings of religion is just too much. Rick Ross’ dedication to excess fits well with his image. This was the cover that inspired this collection, this monument to bad taste. Rick Ross – The Black Bar Mitzvah Mixtape So let’s celebrate the campiest, the corniest, and the most trifling examples of bad mixtape covers after the jump. Whatever the reason, there’s just so many terrible mixtape covers. And bear in mind that every one of those artists with a mixtape with a wack cover thought the artwork was COOL AS HELL.
#BEST TO WORST GUCCI MANE ALBUMS PROFESSIONAL#
Many on the mixtape circuit don’t have a professional design team to do their art direction. Now there’s a ton of examples of bad release artwork floating out in the ether, but today we turn our focus on bad mixtape cover art. Maybe it’s because mixtapes are typically low budget releases. If someone has never heard you, an attractive or eyecatching cover may pique their interest. Which makes terrible album artwork all the more worthy of scorn. IT STILL MATTERS, PEOPLE. The album cover is the forward facing marketing element for your music. Even in this day and age, when an artist can just take a picture with a smart phone, slap on an Instragram filter, and call it an album cover.
Artwork is one of the more under appreciated aspects of music as product.
