that cover was a lot of work.
allhiphop.com has royally ripped the cover apart... ha...
oh well, it turned out how he/i wanted it to

eff allhiphop,
they was founded by a delawarian yet their 'ball' was in ny
-
nahright.com ripped it too,
-
good job chucky
- son0
nahright.com 's viewers not the actual site

ya. it's all good - i think it's drastically different from any other hip hop album cover out there, and will catch the attention of people who aren't looking for it in the first place.
should see the photos i have from the day we did the photoshoot..ha...getting his glasses to 'float' like that...fishing line, all awkward...ha..

Im glad some designers out there a listening to hip hop. Low top chucks and messenger bags are out of there!

i went through a hip hop phase for a while but i kind of fell out of it.... i'm full on metal these days!
- thehiatus0
its all about wu tang and a fresh pair of air max 90s.
to much time with kr3w and supra dudes get you on the metal buzz?
- nopattern0
haha.. nah theyre all hiphopped out too i think. i mean, hell, they just added Muska!!
- thehiatus0
Yeah they got some high grade leather on those hi tops.
loving the ad campaign you did for em keep up the good stuff!
so fresh so clean clean
- nopattern0
thanks dude. got a book coming out next week, new prints, and a new site...excited...
the supra campaign has been fun...i think there is a Greco one coming up!!

supposedly from lupe
'i could've done so much for the cover...but i felt hey why not do something fun...as a kid i always had dreams where I was flying so i was like hey why not?...plus i love Dragonball Z and they be floatin with mad lights and glow ala' Bruce Leroy hahaha...the cover is actually taken from this japanese manga print called "the sleeping man"...this guy is sleepin on this train and he and everything around him is floating...superfresh!!!...all the products around me and everything i have on is actual stuff I own that I have with me on a daily basis...like thats my favorite pair of jeans...its all my inspirations...items made by people that I am close friends with or things that I love like Nintendo (got the DS Lite by the way its a deep blue japanese beta version direct from Nintendo) that book is the Quran by the way...ya'll should check it out...a good read...its also speaks to materialism...I'll explain a lil later...the font is for you art buffs...on the surface its just arabic style font yay!!!...but any of you who are fans of absract art might appreciate that it was hand drawn for me by a very famous and respected artist by the name of Rostarr...this album was made for a lot of people not just hood niggaz or white kids in the burbs or just fans of hip-hop...I made it so that hopefully everyone who comes into contcat with it can appreciate something about it...even if its just the Banksy oil painting floating in back of me...more importantly I did it for myself...in my profession i always find myself doin stuff for other people...interviews, shows, whatever...but this is something where I was completely selfish and just did something that I like not really caring if people love it or hate it...pixie dust and all niggaz!!!...Enjoy!!!..."Us Placers" tape is cancelled but for reasons that I could've never possibly imagined...you'll see hahahahaha'

i responded for you chucky, i know you dont fuck w/ hoody's like that
ha
- nopattern0
ha thanks dude.. appreciate it. was wondering when/if someone was going to bring me up. lupe obviously forgot, in that long rant he never mentioned me once. oh well
i was going to sign up and say something, but, eh.
- son0
nobody cares about you chucky,
at least on that page...in my opinion...
lupe doesnt either...
but oh well...
his album wont do anything for hiphop that pharrell hasnt already...
niggas should fuck w/ me, but they wont do that either, hence me being independent...
-
and what would you possibly have said to them, 'i did the album cover!!!'-
anyway, somebody shouldve showed the rest of the cover and not just the front...

he gave him more light, and he only did the typography
or 'abstract art'
- son0
sure you'll get mentioned on his blog!
