9. De La Soul, 3 Feet and Rising
De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising is not only a fire looking cover but historical. With all of its psychedelic-daisy age power punch, which makes it a groundbreaking project is that The Grey Organization was at the helm of it. GO believed that they wanted the cover to be “a move away from the prevailing macho Hip-Hop visual codes” which dominated rap culture up until that time. For fans, we just appreciated how light and fun it felt. We loved how even the colors afforded the fans an escape from all of the drama that they faced in their everyday life. Truly the perfect introduction to the group.
