There’s no question that here at Killahbeez, we’re huge fans of Wu-Tang, clearly, name of the site is partially influenced by them. Well when I came across these album covers re-done by Logan Walters, it definitely piqued my interest. As he describes on his website:
I need to have decent-quality album art for every album on my computer, which currently equals over 90 gigs. The problem was that almost all of the Wu-Tang album art was horrible (ODB’s two albums being the only real exceptions) — no offense to the original designers, but as iconic as they might be they’re looking pretty dated these days. So, armed with inspiration from what Olly Moss and others are doing (as written about by me here, and later by Kottke here) and a book of Blue Note Records covers, I set out to remake all 21.
Hmm…I also have this same problem. I have to have artwork for all my songs, usually they’re accompanied with nude photos as I just don’t have the same amount of energy as Logan here, but I admire what he’s done. These just look ridiculously good. Check out the ten covers that he’s done so far below.

In my opinion these are much yuckier and cheesier than the originals. Glad we all get to have different opinions but I at least appreciate the effort by this man.
