The Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon is so beautiful in its own way I can’t describe it. It fits so perfectly to the music.

i like to think of album covers like an attention grabber in an essay, the better the attention grabber (album art) the more readers (listeners) you'll get, i check out so many singles/albums because the album art looked cool lol

[@landris6078]

that Nirvana cover is sooo iconic

[@JivoDraws]

gucci manes coverarts be the most wild 😭 gotta look thru them

[@Eleven_11]

for real 😂 for how much music he's dropped he definitely has plenty of terrible covers lol

[@glefty7915]

Fire video and album cover is really important to me cus when I look at an album like Uzis luv vs the world and the perfect luv tape and both lir it embodies the albums music and is engraved in my mind even with pink tape I’ve associated that cover with all the songs off it

[@Eleven_11]

Facts 🔥 thanks man!

[@JivoDraws]

one of ur best vids kept me hella interested

[@Eleven_11]

Thanks bro

[@wockhardt5751]

Die Lit has to be my fav album cover

[@parallelserk]

Fighting demons was bad but the cover was so horrid and it breaks it so much, feel like the album would have done so much better if it had a bettr 1

[@alejandroalfonso67]

Fire video. I appreciate the Rauw Alejandro cover in the video that one is fire

[@Eleven_11]

Thanks bro had to include that one 🔥

[@kilo5ive]

yeezus is probably the best aged album cover. it was bad at the time because imagine someone having their album cover as the tracklist on spotify or something, but it perfectly captured what music was at that time at the point when it was changing.

[@tinicoleofficial]

I agree with you.

[@nicholasrosella2952]

I was going to not watch this because I've seen enough videos about the topic, but since it's by you I'll watch

Aye I gotta argue that the Daft Punk logo cover is iconic in it's own right...

People do judge a book by its cover, but I think as mentioned, if your album is good, it can make the album cover look/feel better than someone taking a look at it for the first time.

my favorite album cover of all time has to be Meek Mill - DC4 💯 the symbolism on it is insane

[@rapuniverze2998]

[@itsmeharperjacksons6633]

Album cover is what brings you in, so yes, it matters, a lot, unless your an globally recognized artist with a big following. But even then it still matters.

[@tinicoleofficial]

Exactly. Example, Drake. Wasn’t a fav of the CLB album cover, but I knew he’d still get hella streams bc of his fan base

[@l.i.0.883]

5:30 Damn 💀💀💀

[@Welshmanshots]

What i think is more fun is when the Disc also has art on it, like Akon's Konvicted album has fingerprints on it or Melanie Martinez Crybaby has pastel colours and ABC blocks on it, it's a shame that era of music is considered niche these days but i understand why it is.

[@inception007]

Agree 💯 Album cover another way to show how creative and serious an artist can be. Look at Kanyes album artwork i think Graduation and Asap Rocky's album cover are one of my most favorite ones. You set into the atmosphere by just looking into an album cover.

[@OreoSmithOfficial]

personally, i like the 4:44 album cover. its super simple, but it draws you in

[@b0tanicbeats]

Straight to the point, well explained, good editing very good video 👌 the only critique i can give you is don’t have such a monotone voice. A part from that everything is on point 👍

[@xrayyyyq12]

Quavo Huncho takes the title of "worst cover" for me personally 💀

[@ddtyrese5088]

i'm looking forward to seeing the Utopia cover

[@slattslattslatt]

Which one? There's like 5 lmao

[@willcasket_goycdyg]

s/o to including vacation in hell truly a remarkble unboxing experience

[@afterglowsunshine6820]

Putting Taylor Swift’s reputation in the “bad album cover” category is a little misjudged, given that the first half of her face is covered by newspaper print to pair with the first half of the album being a glorified publicized image of what her relationship was, while the other half is uncovered and the other half of the record is the true, heartfelt feelings, and love behind closed doors amongst chaos in the media. If you think its ugly so be it but at least it served a purpose

[@bRoWnsKinfRien]

Beyoncé - Dangerously in Love Brandy - Full Moon TOP TWO ICONIC COVERS.

[@wakeupzuzi]

very good video I have to disagree about logo covers being lazy though especially the example used

[@Sheluvotf]

This is one of your best videos bro keep it up. BUTT that wasnt Rylo Rodriguezs album cover that was for his single

[@Eleven_11]

Thanks bro! I believe that was actually the original cover for it but he changed it after seeing people’s reaction 😂

Ngl the Black Tarrzan album cover is so goofy that I'd probably listen to that one purely out of curiosity

[@zander3943]

great video, but we all know baby goat is one of the best album covers of all time

[@jekebele]

tbh i was confused in the beginning cuz every album cover u showed that i was supposed to choose between were their own version of fire

[@isaiahmarquart]

The way the Thumbnail gives all pop hip hop example then nirvana shows how bleak the mainstream eye is to what is and isn’t mainstream

[@droo8495]

i dont think 4:44 is a bad cover, i actually think its a great one especialy with the text saying its his 13th album. it feels like a retrospective an accurate impression

[@olvse]

that evol album cover is still great regardless if it’s a stock photo

[@JayygotdaJuiice]

You can buy a cd and throw the cover away. Can’t download an album and delete the cover off Spotify/Apple Music

[@baL88537]

Yep. 😉👍🏻

[@Chr1s012]

I feel like simple album covers are always better, for example some of my favs are:Starboy,Gkmc,Recovery and Hit me hard and soft

[@london8615]

should’ve mentioned MJ’s thriller

[@2fernandoc1]

IDK Why, but I feel like basically every Green Day album fits the music that's in the album (especially Kerplunk, Dookie, and American Idiot).

DSOTM and WYWH’s album covers are literal masterpieces.

[@faiztv1460]

Nah bro, i loved trippie's cover for Pegasus 1:24 u can not compare that cover with the others 😭😭

RUSH- Grace Under Pressure, WEEN- Chocolate And Cheese and Matthew Good Band-Underdogs are great covers.

I ain't gonna lie I don't really care for cover art. But I do understand it's importance for people.

[@alankent]

There were many, many great album covers going back before the mid 20th century. Also, there were many great album covers of genres besides rap. This video has focused on a very tiny section of music. Very poor research considering the topic.

[@allworksnew]

Thats why metal was better. I mean you have awesome covers like agent orange, or pleasure to kill. Even slayers reign in blood is crazy. Rap and hip hop has always looked wack and still doesnt even look as cool as metal covers

[@slattslattslatt]

Lol metal covers are trash. Covers from kanye, cudi and travis are objectively better than any metal ones out there. Rap and hip hop is superior, ur too old lil bro
