Welcome to Phunky Town is great (the cover and the album itself lol) I’ve always thought The End was pretty funny when you really look at what’s goin on

They’re just floating through space on a boombox with thrusters attached, while the earth is exploding, and Koop is flying towards everyone with Goku’s power pole lmao

I heard they edited koop in last minute 😭

Juicy J said in his book that koop would have the last line in songs because the guy never showed up on time or most the time failed to show up for anything, so they never knew if he would actually be there.

Womack cover is fan made from early 2010. The real cover of book of tha dead is a picture of Womack in a velvet backdrop holding a skull with Champagne bottle holders on each side of Womack. the cutout reading “Womack Da Omen & Southern Records presents.. “Tha Book Of Tha Dead” with the southern records Mac-10 logo beside it

The original tape is also pad pressed

This one is so dope hahaha. I’ve always been surprised just how much dumb humor is meshed in with the darkness of Memphis rap. Was just listening to Da Headbussaz last night and Juicy is telling his ops to break a broom handle so they can stick it in their ass 😂

I like the subtlety of the brag. Big Bear just does things. Like party with brown bears.

I've seen the first one before. I was NOT expecting the second one. The boy's flipping us off while shitting on the toilet for the entire city to smell/see. Could one give less of a fuck? Sort of respect it honestly

Money butt naked appears to be a copy of an 80’s artist called “Millie Jackson”…also, I haven’t heard it, but looking at the features it’s absolutely stacked. Can anyone tell me if it’s any good?

u/DTXSPEAKS 4d ago

The 1st one is fanmade. The real one Book of Da Dead cover has Womack holding a bloody skull apparently
