These Pictures Show Where Iconic Hip-Hop Album Covers Were Photographed

Earlier this year, Mass Appeal put together an amazing gallery of pictures that showed the locations where some of the most iconic album covers in Hip-Hop were photographed. That collection showed the real-life settings for the artwork for Nas’ Illmatic, Ice Cube’s Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, LL Cool J’s Bad and more. Now, Mass Appeal has put together a 2nd installment in the series.

Once again, they have used Google Maps to identify the exact locations for each album cover and then used Google Street View to pull up a photograph of the respective venue. Take a look at a few of the pictures below and then head over to Mass Appeal for the full display.
