Inside Jacket: Death Row Presents

The cover art was a black and white comic of the Snoop dog jacking the bulldog clerk at a liquor store for 5000$ 'over the counter'.  The scene is seen as a thought bubble from a dreaming dog in the doghouse.  Part of the cover comic was also shown on the inside sleeve of the tape cover alongside the track list.  I think this idea was drafted in the days when Snoop, Warren G and Nate Dogg were together in the group 213.  A lot of the tracks on Over The Counter featured 213 and their raps were hardcore cuts about robbing stores and banks 'n' shit with tracks like "211" and "Jack Em".  Other songs were more funkadelic grooves with Nate Dogg and others reminiscing about robbing stores and the consequences of doing jail time.
