Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is one of the MOST recognized and iconic hip-hop covers ever, period. It actually translates the music, and almost warms you up for what you’re about to get into.

Facts

[@ajtaylor8750]

The DAMN cover is perfect in my opinion simple because when you think about the album's content, Kendrick seems exhausted with trying to be Hip-Hop's savior and seems to accept that he's more human than he realized. Thus, the cover reflects his fatigue and the simplicity of just the word "DAMN" with a period and Kendrick looking completely over it all speaks volumes. One of my all-time favorite covers.

[@cash5512]

Definitely his best album cover

[@lutherkayban2788]

Agreed, such a sick cover

[@jadenw.jefferson9724]

Probably his most creative album cover. Still not putting it over GKMC Deluxe Version.

[@Kiefyt]

Tpab and gkmc have way better covers imo

[@fuhyfelax8218]

Idk I feel like we overrate the cover because of how good the music is. It makes the cover automatically feel iconic when speaking visually it’s not bad but it really isn’t that cool

[@Crain-ud5yq]

Why?

[@MrHobocopter]

So I actually looked into it, for the Stillmatic album cover Nas wore every piece of platinum he owned and intentionally picked a gaudy tracksuit to represent a kind of compromised/corrupted world. He references it in thr Stillmatic freestyle, its the calm before the flood. The God's Son album cover is the post flood album cover. His jewelry and gaudy outfit, as well as the new york city skyline have been washed away by God's flood and you have this serene blue background. I honestly was shocked to see how much he planned it out and really gave context to an otherwise kind of wack album cover.
