So... what's your opinion? Do you, like Mos Def, think their No Limit et al covers are warholian works of art, or just plain tacky rubbish? If you were a rapper, would you hire them to do your sleeve art?

nice yellow pants
It says a lot for that cover that the yellow jeans aren't as off-putting as the fucking granny knickers on those models.

S: [laughs] The interesting thing about that cover is, ever single one of the bears on the cover is actually the artist. He body-modelled all of the poses. That's actually his body and for his hands, we ordered a bear hand from a movie shop down in Hollywood. So the hand is actually a real bear hand. So he's got the glove on and he's got his Versace robe and we put some hair on his chest, but he has no bear hand. We did that in the computer later on. We sat him at this table that we had, basically a plastic table. We shot him separately, there were like six shots. The main shot was his hand holding a glass cup. The glass and his hand are separate shots. All the props – the fishs, the nuts, the berries on the plates – they were all separate. Those are real live items we had purchased. All of that stuffs. And of course, we had a background of a cave from a photograph, put that in and it took the text to make it look like it's made out of honey. Expensive cover [laughs].

Years ago Spin (I think) did a thing where they had the Pen & Pixel guys come up with album covers for NIN, Jewel and some other non-hip hop performers. It was pretty hilarious.

The rap industry is very very money motivated. People don't really rap because they have a passion for rapping, it's a very unique music experience. They rap because there's a monetary reward at the end of it, unlike any other type of music. You are a guitar player, you play the guitar because you love to. If you're a rapper, you rap because you want fame and fortune, period.
