And I think we all can agree that there wasn't shit the same about those two covers aside from the fact that they both featured pictures of kids below the age of ten Using your “Shark N-Words” analogy, I think what you are saying is that Fleet Foxes are to MMJ as the Rady to Die album cover is to the Illmatic album cover.
