― jesus is the man (jabba hands), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:35 (seventeen years ago)

― I'm not some HOOS for someone's lust to snack on! (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:39 (seventeen years ago)

why didn't you put the gravediggaz one in the poll, dickhead?

― Bra DANNG da dik (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:42 (seventeen years ago)

yeah

that cappadonna one was p. good too

― otto von biz markie (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:43 (seventeen years ago)

voted for tical because I'm too attached to most of the other original covers

― otto von biz markie (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:44 (seventeen years ago)

well-designed but i dunno, this shit reminds me of guru

xp to whiney

like the simplicity of gza most, but gravediggaz & raekwon are mad deep too

― Styles Davis (The Reverend), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:51 (seventeen years ago)

damn, and the odb too

― Styles Davis (The Reverend), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:52 (seventeen years ago)

oh dang these are dope as hell

― i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 00:57 (seventeen years ago)

36 Chambers or GZA or Tical

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 01:00 (seventeen years ago)

GZA perfectly captures the "totally amazing underrated Blue Note classic that you didn't get around to checking out for years even though you kept hearing good things about it cuz the cover is just so blah" vibe

― otto von biz markie (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 01:08 (seventeen years ago)

not sure if that made sense, but hopefully you guys know what I mean.

Can't believe nobody's repping for that Ironman cover. That shit is amazing.

― unperson, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 01:14 (seventeen years ago)

I liked OB4CL. Looks candid, and it's simple.

well-designed but i dunno, this shit reminds me of guru

ugh

the fonts and text layout = YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

― otto von biz markie (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 01:35 (seventeen years ago)

yeah bernard i feel you, like i got crystals first because the cover was so dope and ignored contours until last last month

― I'm not some HOOS for someone's lust to snack on! (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 01:37 (seventeen years ago)

i'm partial to ironman because it fits the vibe of the album a little better than the others fit theirs

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

like it's not the prettiest but it looks the most like ironman sounds if that makes sense ... ob4cl doesn't really *sound* like that twee lowercase font, etc etc ... actually the zany cal tjader lookin' ODB one fits the vibe pretty well too.

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

Why doesn't The Pillage count?

― batmeh (brightscreamer), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:13 (seventeen years ago)

HOOS, you suck imo

― Bra DANNG da dik (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:14 (seventeen years ago)

I was coming to start this poll.

I've narrowed it down to four.

― Subtlest Fart Joke (Oilyrags), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:39 (seventeen years ago)

holy shit these are DOPE hoos!!

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

yes!

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

ok so the 36 chambers one and the ODB one are just straight classic - esp. odb -- just screams 'blue note avant gard classic that just totally pushed the envelope" a la eric dolphy or some shit

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:46 (seventeen years ago)

and yea the GZA is totally like 'countours' or some andrew hill record u missed out on before

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:48 (seventeen years ago)

ob5cl looks like some absolute BN staple any jazz fan must have like jimmy smith or wayne shorter or early herbie or something

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:51 (seventeen years ago)

but am tempted to vote for the wt forever b/c it's 100x better than the original

― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 02:52 (seventeen years ago)

raekwon one needs more starks

So wrong.

― batmeh (brightscreamer), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 03:03 (seventeen years ago)

Tbh, I wouldn't trade the original covers for any of these. Still cool, though.

― batmeh (brightscreamer), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 03:06 (seventeen years ago)

Love that GZA photo, so I vote that.

― Matos W.K., Wednesday, 6 May 2009 03:16 (seventeen years ago)

problem with these covers is that it's incredibly easy to make cool-looking blue note style album covers and unfortunately the more i look at these the more i'm not feeling them tbh. gravediggaz and ghostface are esp kinda meh.

― "Together we could rape the universe" (omar little), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 03:24 (seventeen years ago)

odb & raekwon covers are the best. gravediggaz is atrocious imho.

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 03:32 (seventeen years ago)

Tical's really nicely done. I'll vote for that one.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

The Liquid Swords cover is too fucking BOSS. The font for his name and the size of it is just crazy. The simplicity of it is totally GZA.

― dreamsonvhs, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 15:31 (seventeen years ago)

wow these are GREAT

― Skinny Malinky (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 16:45 (seventeen years ago)

"problem with these covers is that it's incredibly easy to make cool-looking blue note style album covers"

How is this a problem?

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 16:46 (seventeen years ago)

"I'm just an unfrozen graphic designer from 1959. Your abilities with Photoshop confuse me!"

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 16:48 (seventeen years ago)

Narrowed it to Tical, 36 Chambers, and Cuban Linx. 36 Chambers is maybe a little too close to slick but I like the group feel of it. Tical maybe wins it for "most improved."

Liquid Swords is pretty good but also feels more "late 1980s" than "Blue Note."

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 16:52 (seventeen years ago)

it's a problem because they're not really that great, tbh, they just look sorta cool and they look pretty generic

― "Together we could rape the universe" (omar little), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 17:03 (seventeen years ago)

― Dr. Phil, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 17:36 (seventeen years ago)

its either odb or tical for me

^^^

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 17:39 (seventeen years ago)

odb or wtf :)
