Jay Z & Raekwon sequel album covers

I’ve said it once so I’ll say it again, I’m really hyped about the new Raekwon album Only Built for Cuban Linx II the long awaited sequel to his classic solo debut. The album cover has been leaked onto the net by the Chef himself via his Twitter account and it sums what you get from Raekwon: crime, chaos and disorder. There is supposedly a Cloverfield reference in the artwork but like most people I haven’t seen that film and only know about it via the South Park spoof which featured Peruvian pan pipe bands fighting off giant guniea pigs…word.

Compare this to the incredibly dull, emotionless artwork for Jay-Z’s forthcoming 3rd installment of the Blueprint and I already know which album is going to be better. The Jigga man has obviously been hanging out with kanye and his gayfish cronies hypothesizing over what is ‘so hot right now’ and this is what they’ve come up with. To me that image says pretentious cokehead cack, the sort of thing you’d find in a trendy Shoreditch art gallery being flogged by Damien Hirst or some other modern art imposter.
