Buggin Out ! -Top Ten Album covers (in no order)

Number 1

  
 The Low end Theory*


     The Low End Theory  (Jive 1991)

Ohio Players - Angel (Mercury 1977)

Personally  I think "The Low End Of Theory" is undoubtedly one of the best Hip Hop albums that came out of the golden era  of Hip Hop.  Amazing lyricism laced with bass heavy jazzy loops. Extremely novel and progressive at the time, this added to the groups growing legacy as untouchable pioneers in Hip hop. 

The cover art also has one of my favorite albums cover art selves across the multi faceted genres of music I listen to and own. Apparently the inspiration for this cover was based on 1970's Funk band Ohio Players whose albums covers were always were somewhat risky and controversial. They customised their silhouetted lady by painting the model red, black and green.

Footwear Vintage/Worn Tit bits














"Straw Hat" Jack Purcell Converse x Undefeated



Very cool premium looking woven straw upper.I Love the play on materials, unexpected  light textural upper finely executed. You can always rely on Undefeated to keep their approach to design unorthodox and conceptual. Innovators that are a true inspiration, keep it up Undefeated.

When I reminisce over you - Nike Footscapes x Fragment Design 001


Two of my favourite things combined Nike footscapes and Hiroshi Fujiwara. To any folks unfamiliar with Hiroshi Fujiwara he is the Godfather and Oracle of Japanese streetwear. He is behind brands such as Head Porter, Levis Fenom and Nike HTM. 

This man has serious vision and is a true pioneer, Four words applicable here "The Laws Of Simplicity"
