White Collar Crime


Let's look this up...

"a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation" - Sutherland, 1949

See -- spilling a little cocaine on your collar is not embezzlement. But at least you got your bottle of Remy.

I don't know what is more disturbing -- that cats are using a fried chicken reference; or that son looks like Dr. M. L. King Jr.

Come on. We can do better.

Where the hell is he supposed to be? Siam in 1944? I don't know; I don't think any Air Force would let some cat in wearing a fitted and polo, no matter who he salutes. Especially if he just finished blazing. How else could you explain the smoke?

Comical. I'm still torn though, because Kanye looks just too comfortable posing like that.

Classic ATLiens style. Tribute noted.

There was a time when Raekwon and Mobb Deep commanded respect. Now their names command light caricatures. The cover keeps some of the feel that these thoroughbreds carry with them, but it took me a while to realize that Havoc and Prodigy are dressed for kitchen work.

Nice sepia tones. Nice style.

One of my favorite films with one of the best posters. This can't be flawed, except I wonder why someone didn't do it earlier. Is it possible that New Orleans is finally starting to get some shine? Still gotta give the bats a "ghetto birds" tag, though.

A simple cover with a simple theme, simply done. But done well. It's that simple people.

Simple cover with a powerful elements and message. Mixtape cover artists should look at this before, during, and after their creative process. It'll let them keep some integrity as artists.

Rating - Masterpiece

The mixtape scene is going in another direction. Things are happening to make me question manhood(not mine). Something's going on in this cover. What? I don't know. But it seems to be either really preppie or really gay. In hip hop there really isn't much difference.

Rating - Satisfactory

This is a well-themed cover. The Usual Suspects is a film staple and it's poster was appropriate perfection. If these guys could've just realized that posing for a cover isn't an exercise in grillin', they would've made great replica.

I have to give reggae mixtapes a bit of leeway. A lot of times they tend to be intentionally bizarre just for the sake of it. Yet I wonder if this artist holds command over that wasp giant wasp. That'd be really REALLY cool.

There's something a little gay about this cover. I can't quite put my finger on it... Maybe it's five dudes coming out the closet box.

Rating - Satisfactory

I'm completely torn on this cover. It's original, but it's almost so over the top that I can help but laugh a bit. Even though self-depiction as a saint is one of the most egotistical moves possible, the figure's head is still not big enough.

This is something I like. All the elements seem uniform and it's original(unless there's something I don't know). However, considering that I quit smoking six years ago...
