Hopsin - Knock Madness (OUT NOW)

[AbramIsaac]

I think it's a mistake to feature the artist so prominently on the cover either way. It seems egotistical, and sort of like over-the-top showcasing. It isn't such a big deal with mixtapes, since that's what they're for, but an album should be beyond that.

He'll probably change it. Anyway, Hopsin is now a huge name in the underground. I have no doubts that he'll sell at least 20 000 if he drops a single in June, Ill Mind 6 as a promo track in July and the album during the same week.

Yeah and it's a corny lack of creativity.

It's a really terrible cover...

Not just in execution, but the concept just seems random and aimlessly angsty too... holding dollar bills with the world burning? Doesn't coincide with the title at all...

Oh this isn't the cover; it's a fan made one (that actually was praised a lot more by member here than the original).

As for the concept, it fits with the image he has been trying to portray lately as this 'good guy rapper' in a corrupt world/rap game (just listen to Ill Mind 5). That being said, neither of those have anything to do with the title, "Knock Madness".

Sometime between 2013 and Star Wars lol. Such a wide gap of years, this album is probably gonna suck balls with how it keeps getting pushed back.

I thought the Knock Madness cover was okay-looking. Not a huge deal, I won't be staring at the cover when I listen to the songs lol

Wolf was pushed back a bit (albeit not as much as Knock Madness) and it sounded fantastic. Push-backs don't really determine the quality of an album. If anything, just your hype for it *cough* Detox *cough.

If album covers determined the album from a musical perspective, RAW would have been awful.

I know everybody hates it, but .. I always found it cool lmao.
