Maybe if we broaden it to “reference other hip hop album covers”. I dont think there are a ton of parodies tbh

Reference is fine

In that case...
Nas’ “Hip Hop is Dead” is kind of a callback to Too $hort’s “Life is...”

the cover was Kool Keith lampooning the No Limit style of artwork. especially Silkk the Shocker.

That doesn't preclude it from being a parody

Yes, but considering the shit he often talked about that style of rap, and consider the in-jokes made im the liner notes themselves (including a RZA dig where he advertised an upcoming album by "Robbie Analog"), I don't think he hired Pen and Pixel because he had been craving a No Limit look. Esp given how ridic the cover is even by P&P standards with the gorillas and all.

Xpost
(and yes i know RZA wasn't part of No Limit,Keith just seemed to be indiscriminate about who he made fun of)

Keith was legit into No Limit
The Outkast and RZA disses were genuine attempts at beef
