G.O.O.D. Music – Cruel Summer (Artwork & Packaging)

[Kill You]

You know it.

Nah, I don't care, I just don't like people who say shit like "oh, this cover is good because of these reasons and if you don't like it, you're wrong". That's just dumb.

Do you think the Recovery cover is good?

Cuz I don't. Not when you use your logic. Removing the meaning behind the artwork just... ruins the cover. Recovery's cover with no meaning or idea just shows Eminem walking down a road.

IDK MAN.

You really think the Recovery cover has no meaning? Someone needs to take another look.

Someone needs to reread my post.

[SG.]

I meant that just because a cover has a meaning, it doesn't make it invulnerable to criticism.

Umm, I don't know, it's definitely an amazing piece of art, I'd buy that poster to hang it on my wall, it's beautiful, it's based on the idea of the GOOD Music label, but with "Cruel Summer" it doesn't look coherent with the title, it kinda goes with tracks released to far though with Mercy (lyrics from sample are a quote from the bible) and New God Flow. Mixed feelings, I'm definitely buying a poster though.

New Religion would fit more tbh.

[Cube23]

Cover sucks, but I don't care. I like Mercy and I like New God Flow.

People in here dissing Kanye for being "too artistic". That's not possible. That's like when people say he over-produces.. Umm, you mean he's just very good at layering beats?

The artistic vision of the cover has nothing to do with how I view the music. The cover sucks, and that's just their poor marketing approval of the cover. People here are excited for the new Hopsin album, yet that is extremely worse than this.

And seriously, how does Eminem's name make it into every Kanye thread? Are people really that upset that Kanye gets the attention now that Eminem used to or do they just know nothing else about music that they mention Eminem in the conversation? It''s terribly annoying.

[EG.]

Its not that bad, I like it.

[dR3]

OH MAN IT'S IN DA 3DZ AND IT'S DA ANGEL FROM DA LOGO DAT KANYE DON DID

I don't care. It still looks shite.

The cover doesn't link with the title. The concept is great on paper, but has a failed execution. It looks like the WTT cover with an angel in the middle of it. Tell me, Ye, why does the angel have to be naked? And also, why does it have to look fucking retarded?

I think at some point Kanye has too much control.

You perfectly worded my thoughts.

Soooo is this a double album or is he gonna throw that movie in here?

The movie comes with the deluxe edition.

most likely it's not a double-album.. but who knows?

I think normal version includes the album only and deluxe is a double-disc which is album+movie..

[SG.]

I heard the deluxe was a triple-disc.

[BumShiv]

you could see at 5:54 that that is the inspiration behind the Cruel Summer cover.

kanye's idea most likely, cover is just weird and stupid.

[Blu]

Meh.

The best covers to me, look like the title sounds. It sort of has to be, all-encompassing to me in terms of the look-thesound-and-thefeel...

This cover doesn't 'look' like Cruel Summer to me. Seems off.

So this cover just speaks The Marshall Mathers LP to you?
