Like I repeatedly told the rest of the Crew, the album sounds just like the cover looks. Flashy, pristine, with a dash of first class. Not the most ambitious of efforts but those 476K first week sales hints that Jigga giving his creative muscles a strenous working may be in the history books as well. As you can see, much of the work went into creating the album cover. Was it that important to actually paint the instruments? One thing’s for sure, it’s the only cover he can’t duplicate himself…
