'' " " As strong as the message of the record was , he wanted to add something to it — not to soften it — but just to respect the law enforcement people that had to go through what they did during 9/11 , " said Up Above 's Key Cool . " It was interesting , because he was very conscientious about that . " Up Above Records ' Key Cool , who designed the single 's artwork , disclosed that J Dilla did not want to be pictured on it . Dilla then advised Cool to " Grab images that you think represent the record . " The front cover design includes images of the Rodney King beating , martyr Amadou Diallo and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal . The back cover features the disclaimer Dilla stated at the track 's introduction . Yet , it is set against the backdrop of a pig 's head on an African spear
