Nas, ‘Stillmatic’ – Animal-Centric Rap Album Covers

On the cover of Nas' stellar 2001 album 'Stillmatic,' he features the most loved and hated animals in New York -- the pigeon.

Some New Yorkers see them as the mascot of the Big Apple, while others view them as "rats with wings." On the cover, Nas wears a tracksuit and is draped in jewelry as he poses in front of a New York City skyline.

The artwork is almost similar to those infamous Pen & Pixel album cover creations that are featured in this countdown. We also can't help but stare at the pigeon who appears to be giving the Queensbridge rapper the side-eye for whatever reason.

Nevertheless, 'Stillmatic' is one of Nas' great rap albums.
