Now the funny thing was that while I was reading the post I was listening to the "Little Big Man" album by Bushwick Bill...and you know I had to comment on that cover as well.
Because what the fuck were they thinking?

Now hip-hop is filled with badly drawn album covers (Doggystyle anyone?) but this takes the cake. This is possibly even worse than some of the worst photoshopped Pen & Pixel covers from the No Limit era (a whole seperate post about "Doin' Thangs" by Big Bear coming up sooner or later).
I picked this CD up in 1992 and I honestly never thought about how horrible this cover was until now. It looks like it was drawn by an 8 year old kid. However, further investigation reveals that an artist by the name of Kid Styles was involved. Now with a name like that the thought of a school kid making the cover may not be that far off...
In 2001 Kid Styles would return to do the artwork for Bushwicks Universal Small Souljah which not only has an awful title but the cover for that album really isn't all that impressive either...

By no means does this rant have anything to do with the quality of the music on the Little Big Man album. It's a good album and I advise everyone to get a copy
