Nicki Minaj's Colorful "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" Single Art\ [NEWS]

via
Nicki decided to paint her face all colors of the rainbow and incorporate some matching SpinArt splatter (i swear that's what I painted my room like when I was 12)... Yeah this may be a little much to but I can see this cover appealing to a much younger set of girls [I would definitely want this at 8 years old if I saw it in the Wiz (yes, it was a real place!)]... So if that's the idea, it's pretty smart.. Maybe I sound like I'm hatin - I do think it matches her personality just not feeling it..

J. Dilla 'Donuts' Vinyl Re-Release w/Alternate "Smile" Cover Available Now

J DILLA - DONUTS 27x27-inch poster ($12)

Stones Throw:
Back late 2005 when we were getting ready to release J Dilla's Donuts, we made a casual decision to use a drawing for the cover of the 2LP vinyl release, rather than the standard cover photo of Dilla used for the other releases. Dilla himself had requested "something like that Quasimoto album," and still to this day the inside fold out of the Donuts CD fits together with the inside foldout of Quasimoto's Further Adventures album.

Fast forward 5 or 6 years to 2011, the retailer Urban Outfitters asked Stones Throw if they could carry the album in their stores. “Of course”, we say. “One other request,” they say, “we'd like the cover with Dilla's face.” Well, why not?

So here it is, better late than never: J Dilla's classic album Donuts now released on vinyl with the smile on the cover - available now.

We've also created a 27 x 27-inch poster of the album cover.

Cover & illustrations by Jeff Jank; photo of Dilla by Andrew Gura. Just a few months ago we published a short back-story on the cover photo. Check it:
