21 Hilariously Terrible Mixtape Covers
I consider myself a connoisseur of bad mixtape cover art. I have been fascinated with the creative decisions that lead artists down the path to photoshopping their likeness amongst a pack of smoking jacket-wearing bears. The Pen & Pixel-helmed covers of No Limit Records in the 1990s were always a highlight of my frequent trips to the FYE at my mall in Cleveland. It's an appreciation for the ridiculous that continues my love for the poor taste and lack of tact that mixtapes often feature.
In an effort to bring my appreciation to the XXL audience, I have compiled 21 covers from some of my favorite poorly-photoshopped mixtape art in the world. Enjoy and remember to always keep doin' thangs!
I always wondered if Lil Wayne came out of his mother with tattoos on his face.
Pimpin' Curly is my favorite rapper.
I feel safe that Bifröst is being protected by Drake now.
I bet Lil Flip wishes he could have this one back.
I see they took Nicki's "Barbie" motif to it's logical extreme.
This is just disrespectful.
LOL.
I'm just going to ignore your advice and keep my eye on you, Arlis. Also, photoshopped chains are the wave.
I wonder if there is a Sherrif Guwoody?
I respect the wish fulfilment.
Seriously. Why is this photoshopped? You can ren a tuxedo from Men's Warehouse for like a $150.00.
I can't imagine why anybody would you hate you with a face like that.
I never knew Weezy and Gucci were so into cosplay.
It puts the lotion on it's skin or else, it gets the hose, again.
This seems socially irresponsible.
Ghetto Heaven involves Ronald McDonald pointing a gun at my face?
T.I. and Shawty Lo crushed it at Catalina Wine Mixer this year.
Dat cape!
Gary Coleman?!
I hate that Trapmas has gotten so "commercial" these days.
Queen Lil B-Zabeth I?
