First off... I don't think a fool that has no clue who the fuck Jaz is should do a cover for him, simply because, you need to be down with him, and what he do, and you gotta know what he been doin for years...if ya'll don't know..WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU.. yall cats been sleeping the past 6 years?!?! C'mon now...

And as far as money goes.. anyone wants skrilla, anyone and everyone is in a game for cash right now, and with new and improved things hittin every corner it's hard to make a livin when you have a family and 100+ other things to support.

Jaz knocks throughout the entire World. There's cats on MP3 trading shit, there's cats on Original trading there's cats on just dope shit that have much love of Jaz and the shit he do... Now think about it.. you are a graphics artist, just starting out (maybe), or maybe has really tight ideas on covers and can work those ideas but no one see's your shit, or maybe your just some fool with tight ass designs..think about it, getting your info in a VERY HIGHLY respected gangsta rap artists CD including info on how to hit you up is a for sure, skrilla maker.. for sure.

MP3 traders, rippers all that they collect album covers as well, so they will see you (over 500,000 Easily), Cats who know jaz will see you (including rappers he's affiliated with, so most everyone who's gangster and still rolling west side), people from overseas like germany and france will see you, and people overseas rap too, theres alot of french rap and german rap out there.... especially with brand new music, lots of people will see you because alot of people just getting into gangster rap.

So with me saying that all yall fucking skrillbabies should go be crying somewhere else, because the real designers and artists will see this as an fucking DOPE buisness oppurtunity.

Oh and wusup drastic and jaz.. keep it gangsta yall. Hope you find a respectable artist for your job.

peace.

Still JAZ is not like e 40 or Yukmouth....them niggaz is gaurenteed exposure but you dont see them gettin free artwork....if you serious about your music your serious about everything that it entails and you pay for what you wanna get and you get what you pay for.....not all artists charge too much....I shoot deals all the time for quality work.....exposure isnt gonna pay for the hours of electricial use while my comp is on......its not gonna cover the wasted time i could of been using to make money elsewhere or to put into my own work.....

Aint no one mad at you for tryin....but these are the things you have to consider when dealing with REAL artists....some fan that likes jaz and wants to give a cover a cracc will most likely give you low quality work and not even know wtf they are doin when it comes to designing a CD cover for print......

good lucc....if you cant find someone then holla at me for a price quote.....

oh and them pics succ....get a real photographer wit a real camera or at least someone who has some kinda eye for takin pics cuz the quality of em is shitty.....the light on that garage is killin em in the 1st one...
 
#33
First off... Yeah dras mayne those pics suck, you need better ones for an album cover but they dope if they werent bein used for anything as big as his new cova you hear?!! hahaha. But it wasnt your fault the mufucka dosent know how to take pics dogg.

Second off... Someone said Jaz isn't like e-40 or yukmouth... uhh buddie, Jaz is better... Jaz has been around before those cats. which makes me mad when ya'll say shit like that when Jaz is alot fucking doper then yuk or e-40... well I can't say doper but I can say at LEAST he's equal to them in the game. Only reason e-40 and yuk are big is because shyit they been known for a really long time and they have radio exposure... The luniz where fuckin huge.

Jaz is real gangster rap... he not about glitta and glamour you feel (I dont even know the dude but from what I heard) He isnt e-40, he ISNT yukmouth.. hes fucking jaz from east san joe dogg.. theres big difference there you know. But take a look at his older album covers, he;s not about fucking shiny cars and fake ass diamonds that shine and all glitter, It would be an easy easy ass job for a good designer to do. It not hard to make a cover look gangster with a pic and some good photoshop skills... Ya'll ain't designing a cover for cash money.

peace.

Great quality pictures are the cornerstone for every great cover. Even if graphics are bunk, good photography can still act as the life line to up hold the integrity of your album.

As for the picture above, they're neither strong enough, nor clear enough.

^^^ i feel yall! yes these pics are not the best! me an jaz both agreed on that...they are better tho but the siccness resizes them hella small....yes we do need better pics, we'll some some more up this week!
Get some really good pictures, that are STANDARD, because the cover will be created at 5 x 5" 300 DPI, so you got to have a camera that gets the job done, and if you don't, go to a studio and tell them exactly what the pictures are being used for. When you get the pictures on disc, zip them and upload them somewhere so we can download them.

well if it really makes you mad that he isnt recognised like he should be then you need to tell dude to get a better marketing strategy.....a decent cover is a good start....

i dont care how gangsta or real a mafucca is.....the game is the same for everyone....you aint gotta be blingin or comin fake...but you need somethin thas attractive to the customer and represents the artist....a crappy cover to me equals crappy quality...if im new to his music im not gonna buy it wit a half ass cover cuz that will lead me to believe he has wacc ass quality music.....maybe you cant understand this...if so then youll continue to be frustrated at Jaz failure to be recognized.....

its 2005 baby not 1990.....shit aint craccin like it used to...with the advances in technology these days there aint no excuse for low quality work in any area of an albums creation.....

u just spoke on supporting mafukaz families.....
yet never consider that some of sum of us do this 2 support ours.......
with your mentality i should be able to go 2 a mechanic
and get work done for free on a car...
cuz i need 2 feed my family right?
now, if sum1 wants 2 donate a cover, thats coo...
but dont act like were obligated to do so.....
