GOOD QUESTION.
I THINK ITS THE MASTER PS NO LIMIT SOLDIER RECORDS ALBUMS.
AND MOST OF THE DIRTY SOUTH HAS NAME ALBUM COVERS.I GUESS THE DIRTY SOUTH RAPPERS DONT CARE ABOUT THE ALBUM COVERS.THEY CARE MORE ABOUT ALBUM SALES.I GUESS ANY RAPPER WOULD CARE ABOUT ALBUM SALES.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS KRS ONE POSING LIKE ONE OF MALCOLM XS FAMOUS PICTURES.
MY OTHER FAVORITE IS DEAD PREZ LETS GET FREE ALBUM.THE KIDS ARE HOLDING REAL RIFLES.THE GOVERNMENT HAD DEAD PREZ PUT A STICKER OVER THE RIFLES.WHEN YOU OPEN THE CD YOU SEE THE RIFLES.
EASY E ON A POLICE STATION BOOKING LINE UP.
SWAY AND TECH &DJ REVOLTION :THEY HAVE PICTURES OF THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP.
NAS ILLMATIC:A BABY PICTURE OF HIM SELF.
THESE ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME.

2. Below the Heavens- Blu and Exile
3. American Gangster - Jay-Z
4. The Cool - Lupe Fiasco

I think very few people see album covers. 2 reasons.
1- Most artist only have 1 or 2 good songs which are overplayed on the radio, so why buy the album just to listen to those 2 songs. The play through album is rare.
2- Limewire!
