In a recent interview with FUSE'S Ashanti, Lupe explained his peculiar album artwork and said it was inspired by the late Johnny Cash.  
He said, "One of the main reasons why it's all black was there's a song called 'Man in Black' by the late, great Johnny Cash.  People always ask me, because I wear black on stage and I stay in black 'Why do you stay in black?  Why is the album cover all black?'  And I say, just listen to Johnny Cash's 'The Man in Black.'  The reason he wore black was because he wore it for the prisoner who was long paid for his crime."  Food & Liquor 2 in stores now.
