Our clients were for the most part Hip-hop artists. We helped a great number of these people make it out of their current living conditions, and they in turned helped more of their own succeed! So in that sense I guess we were racist, in the fact that we help a large percentage of minority entertainers live their dreams. Make sure "Don-a-cappa" that you understand this before making your statements public. SB P.S. Great Job on the Pen and Pixel collection!

Cover design has gotten quite a bit less "loud" for lack of a better word, but most modern day mixtape covers are just slightly sleeker Pen & Pixel covers that portray many of the same concepts and tropes. This isnt makin' fun of Pen & Pixel, this is paying tribute to. -e Not to mention how influential these covers are even today.

Some of these covers are definitely funny, but none of them are funny because of race. Additionally, a good portion of the covers I posted above aren't funny at all but are just really DOPE covers: the 8 Ball and MJG jawns, the Lil Wayne joint, the Geto Boys, the Magnolia Shorty cover, E-40. GTFOHWTBS, please. -e Um, wtf? Some of these covers are definitely funny, but none of them are funny because of race.
