MBDTF Cover=Worst of all time?

Postby FreeSpeech » Nov 21st, '10, 05:27

I mean, seriously? I love the album. I love the interest Kanye has in all forms of art and music. I enjoyed the Run Away video. But the cover (with the naked black dude banging the white chick) is awful. It's not just "misunderstood" art, it's straight up bad. It's borderline vulgar, it's ugly, etc.

Why are you surprised? Kanye's covers always sucked dick. Tryna make it abstract or whatever, but in the end...they turn out shitty.

Graduation is awesome...

He's one of the few hip-hop artists that actually treat the cover and album art with as much thought as the material. It is after all, a huge part of the album.

He actually gets proper cover art created, as opposed to just a vanity shoot...

I think a great music artist should take aesthetics into account too, and he does.

I can't think of a bad Kanye West cover to be honest. Maybe the cover of The College Dropout is slightly boring but other than that, no.

Actually I think the provocative cover of his new album is his best. It doesn't make it worse that my favourite color is red hehe.

I just wish that he would put the tracklist on the back cover of his albums :|
