DJ V-Dub & Freddie Gibbs Plagiarized Mixtape Cover — A Straight-Up Jack Move!

DJ V-Dub & Freddie Gibbs – We Affiliated 3 FAKE!

Some of you may have spotted DJ V-Dub‘s and Freddie Gibbs artwork for their new mixtape, “We Affiliated 3” (on the left). I’m sure a few of you realized that V-Dub and company straight-up jacked the ORIGINAL cover designed by S1XTH GFX (on the right). How messed up is that! Take a closer look after the jump.

I don’t think I ever witness a blatant display or plagiarism before. Shame on whoever orchestrated this.

    probably isnt a rip. just design companies using the same template.

    the only “template” would be the folder, everything else is BLATENTLY copied. For example, the name box, the writing in the box on the side. the red circle and more, are slightly different sized or slightly different but blatantly copied. The rapper probably told the graphic dude “I want my cover exactly like this, copy this guys cover exactly”

    Nah… it’s a rip-off. I contacted the original designer, S1XTH GFX, who confirmed it.

    Going by my experience alone, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the artist wanted asked for a replica. I find the aften want want they see elsewhere.

    For the record, nothing on my cover is a template. The folder was a picture from google that i then chopped and tweaked for effect, the paper clip is also custom, it makes me sick to know that somebody took my cover, enlarged it then edited aspects of it to steal the hard work i put in. No excuses either, when people tell me to copy the next mans cover i send them to the designer that did it.
