Follow @ZeeMeekPeek
When Drake released artwork for his new album "Nothing Was The Same" it received a ton of mixed reviews.
A lot of people took to Twitter to show off their tweaked versions of the album cover.
A Ricardo Finland used the social media site to share what he really thought Drake should've picked for his new LP artwork.
"This really should've been the Drake cover though," tweeted Finland with an album cover totally resembling Young Money Cash Money Billionaries.

Rap and comic duo It's The Real decided to redo the cover with Drake's head in the center of a Nintendo Mario game level with the caption, "Drake keeps winning."

Then there was that one remake where in the background you can see the house with the balloons from the Oscar-winning move "Up" just floating in the sky.

Another tweeter happened to intertwine Kanye West's "Graduation" cover with the "Nothing Was The Same" artwork by having the bear shoot out of Drake's mouth. It was entitled "Graduation 2."
So wait.... Kanye West and Drake are making GRADUATION 2????? pic.twitter.com/LHVvMSKu6o — Broke Homie Ken (@PhillyCustoms) August 22, 2013
Buzzfeed's Heben Nigatu got harsh when she posted a edited version of the cover with Drake's adult head replaced with a llama's head.

Additionally, there were those who went the analytical route by trying to figure out where Drake was coming from with the artwork. A Jeff Veillette compared the new cover to those of Biggie's "Ready To Die," Nas' "Illmatic," and Lil Wayne's "The Carter III" - all which had artwork consisting of childhood images of the rappers.

It was also suggested that Drakes cover idea came from the Martin Luther King portrait painted by Kadir Nelson, who also is the artist behind the "Nothing Was The Same" artwork.
