The original cover of the Documentary is an iconic piece of art. The Game is placed in front of a plain white background, sitting on two presumably expensive tires.

The visual is in a bright composition, which seems to contrast the album's dark lyrics and production. Of note, the West Coast rapper sits front and center, demanding all our attention.

This positioning is arguably in contrast to the album itself, which boasts superstar features (eventual arch enemy 50 Cent and Eminem) and an all-star cast of producers (Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, Timbaland, and Kanye).
