I love me some Wu-Tan Clan.

The Falcon one is dope as hell

The Falcon one is dope as hell

That's not the Falcon, it's supposed to be Captain America...remember, Marvel did away with Steve Rogers as cap and gave it to Sam Wilson...and they will never let us forget it.

The Falcon one is dope as hell

Yeah that and the X-Men one is my favorites.

[Zeitgeist]

Pity this is a Marvel initiative - DC could do one of Lil Wayne's album covers with their current Suicide Squad version of Joker.

[Joshua]

Those are really great.

That's not the Falcon, it's supposed to be Captain America...remember, Marvel did away with Steve Rogers as cap and gave it to Sam Wilson...and they will never let us forget it.

of course I know he's supposed to be the Captain America but he will always be remembered as the Falcon

[MajorHoy]

This is sooooooooooooooo not aimed at me.

[MaxMatrix]

Beyond the hyperbole, why so much anger?

I mean I know why but I know how CBR boards treat race issues.

50Cent seems out of place there, but I love all the rest. Even that one isn't bad, I just don't think of him or that album as classic hip hop.

[THE KZA]

Get Rich or Die Trying was really good because of the Dr. Dre production.

Hopefully we get more classic albums on there like Illmatic, Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, etc.

I love the Ms. Marvel/Lauryn Hill one on Uproxx - perfect pairing of character and rapper.

The WOLF cover is hilarious in a way I didn't expect Noto to do. He should try some humor comics.

[Hypestyle]

I was drawing stuff like the Spidey/Deadpool cover way back in high school. Now it's finally hip to do hip-hop/comics fusion. Oh well...

There needs to be a Luke Cage/Iron Fist tribute cover based on Nation of Millions.

[EmperorDoom]

Didn't say I didn't like it, it just doesn't seem classic to me. It's because it came out in the 2000s. The rest of those are from that classic hip hop time period.
