We just got a bunch of these lenticular CD cases at work as a promo for a company that makes them, "Multi-Image". We didn't get any 3D, just some motion ones, including one that features a Muybridge sequence of two men hammering on an anvil. They work very well with good separation between the images.

As for A Tribe Called Quest, they are one of the best rap groups around. Members of the "Native Tongue" school of rappers also including De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers. They are united by an emphasis on positive messages, constructive cynicism about the current state of African-American culture, and wildly inventive and melodic sampling. They are also _great_ rappers. If this is going to be your first and last rap album because of its cover, you could do a lot worse.
