Seen this posted on the Ahh boards a few years ago.

I'm sure Nas's father had some of those Weldon Irvine lp's around the house and that inspired him. Dope shyt.

Honestly everybody hating on Jigga in the other thread wasn't warranted either. Taking inspiration from other albums as far as artwork concept is paying homage. I wouldn't put it on the same platea as biting lyrics. Just as Biggie was inspired by Illmatic for the RTD album cover, it was taking something that inspired you and putting your own spin on it.

the pre stillmatic ones are a reach
his first four album covers had da same except concept
just a different picture of his face
so i dont see how dat makes sense
