I love it! Since my favorite Al look is IAATP, it definitely got my attention (but then, Al usually does!)

Back after WAY too long an absence!
Hmmm...something's gone horribly awry here...

He's using the exact same font NWA did on their Straight Outta Compton CD

Yup. Ryan pointed that out (somewhere) and also made note that the font is SLIGHTLY stretched horizontally on Al's version.

I doubt it means anything as far as parody content, but it's nice to give a "shout out" to the group that coined the phrase that he's parodying.

ooh I do hope Al's CD will have a "Parody Advisory" sticker.

I got that it was a rap style parody, but I was wondering if it was referring to a specific rap album that I didn't know about. Thanks for sharing and letting me know which one it was!

(That's why I love this forum. I always find alnswers to any of my questions so quickly. You guys are great.)

I thought about that (the idea of a mock sticker), but my only worry with that would be parents seeing the sticker, thinking it's real, and then not buying the album for their kid, when otherwise they would have.

Oh... "alnswers" was a typo, but I think it's probably the most appropriate typo I've ever made! :whoot:

While the title and font alone are a direct parody of "Straight Outta Compton," the rest of the cover design is made up of several common elements found on rap albums. Ryan and I have posted quite a few examples of albums with similar looks and styles. If you're not opposed to reading spoilers, you can check them out in the "Straight Outta Lynwood" and "The Da Yanko Code" threads in the spoiler forum.
