In talking about the cover, Darlene Ortiz, Ice-T’s former girlfriend, said, “I look back at that picture and think, ‘Girlfriend, you have no idea what’s getting ready to unfold after that’ … I was just happy to represent and do for my man what we were both intending to do which was to help out his career.” What statement could be more powerful than a sexy woman in a skimpy bathing suit with a big gun, with two brothers standing stately beside her? If you turn to the back of the cover, you see that they are also packing military-sized heat. So when he dropped the album Power, he wanted to make a statement that was “powerful” and bold. The precautionary tales mixed with his syncopated cadence distinguished him from the other rappers coming out of California. What made the album cover even doper was that the music on the album was top-notch.īefore NWA, Ice-T was dubbed a spokesperson for the West. and Rakim, you can see another rapper Kool G Rap from the Juice Crew (on Rakim’s right), who was kind of down with PIF 50 Cent (crouching in red hat) Rap (top left in the FILA tracksuit) Killer Ben (top in green) Ant Live (crouching behind 50 Cent) Keith Green (from Long Island) AJ (from Queens) Freddie Foxx Rob Garcia (from Long Island) and Jason Riley (in black).

An added Easter egg is on the back of the cover where the actual Paid In Full Posse from Brooklyn was featured. Paid in Full was the epitome of the city’s street game, lyricism, and hustle all wrapped up into one rhythmic bow. Just look at the cover- the big Bennies floating in the background, the trunk jewelry, the classic hustler poses, and Ra’s iconic haircut, not only edified the lyrics on the album but cemented in our minds what New York was like at the dawn of rap’s ascension. It represented an entire generation of Hip-Hop, allowing anyone ever curious about 80’s street culture, an intimate glimpse into the movement. The front cover from the album Paid in Full by Eric B and Rakim is one of the most iconic pieces of art that rap music has ever produced.
