A few days ago I expressed my displeasure with the Clipse’s Til the Casket Drops album cover. Later that day my man Vex hit me with an idea to rework album covers that I think could have been done better (or differently). So with that… I’d like to announce the beginning of a new series. Shake’s (2)Dope Alternative Artwork. I’m not gonna put a certain day restriction on it or anything. I’ll just do them as I see fit. Something looks shitty, I’ll make it better. Or maybe I just had a different vision for it. Who knows… the point of it all is to make your iPod/Zune’s happy (and plug ArtByShake.com of course) haha. So click the image above for the full version and let me know what you think.

*ArtByShake is currently in a soft-launch. As it’s up and fully functional but I still have about 6 years worth of work to add to the portfolio. Feel free to spread the word. Thanks!

You can’t cuss the police out B!

With December 8th slowly approaching, HHNM got their hands on the snippets. Tracklist is here for those that want to follow along. I’m still thinking about putting together a (2)Dope Alternate Cover: Clipse Edition.

Shouts to Illy for getting his mouse clicks on the cover for the Clipse’s upcoming album Til the Casket Drops (December 8th). Although I’m not really feeling it. Seems like a case of when an artist’s fame (in this case KAWS) outweighs the actual work. And the tracklist was already out there but fuck it. Incase you missed it, I’ve included it after the jump…

1. Speak of Freedom (prod. Sean C & LV)
2. Popular Demand (Popeyes) f. Cam’ron (prod. The Neptunes)
3. Kinda Like a Big Deal f. Kanye West (prod. DJ Khalil)
4. Showin’ Out f. Yo Gotti (prod. The Neptunes)
