I don’t know how I missed this one. Sitting on the throne and flipping through this Ego Trip book looking for pages to scan, I found a listing of all of the people that were photographed for Tribe’s Midnight Marauders album cover. What I didn’t know was that there were 3 separate album covers. I always thought there were just 2. I think I bought the one with the green frame. Which one did you buy?
I’d heard about this list but I’ve never seen it. Thanks for the scan.
My brother has both the red and the green frame.

Hi there. Would your brother be willing to sell the red border album?

Dang you got me flipping through my copy of egotrip rap lists now. I wish they’d make another one already. It’d be a lot better than Miss Rap Supreme forreal.
Great site man, forreal.

I have the green frame.
I’ve heard about Ego Trip’s book before, but now I might have to pick it up after seeing these posts.
Thanks for everything, this site is a gem!

I’ve got the green frame. I still can’t believe how many people aren’t up on Ego Trip’s stuff. I read the hell out of that magazine when it was around. I’ve gotten tired of reminding my friends about it when I reference the book of lists or their second banger, Ego Trip’s Big Book Of Racism, which may be the funniest book I’ve ever read. And that’s word to Ted Bawno.
