4:30 Graydon was right, they actually lit a guy on fire for the Wish You Were Here album cover. From Wikipedia: Two stuntmen were used (Ronnie Rondell and Danny Rogers), one dressed in a fireproof suit covered by a business suit. His head was protected by a hood, underneath a wig.

"supertramp is drill music" that was good Riley. Also, you're never too adult for a good animated movie

The Supertramp album is just genius. The Statue of Liberty-diner lady, with New York being made up of cutlery, plates and coffee cups. Great music too. (Dignan is holding me hostage at a playground in rural Switzerland)

[@tallish4727]

Another great detail about the supertramp cover is that the diner waitress is actually a stand in for the statue of liberty (her pose with the drink over her head is just like the torch and it’s position in relation to Manhattan)

[@chokingahogo1494]

The Yachty cover was made by Jon Rafmen using AI tools. He uses a very involved process to deliberately exploit the flaws of the technology to create uncanny or frightening images I’m a huge fan of his work and its kinda annoying that a lot of people dismiss art made with AI tools as being lazy when it depends on how you use the technology. The AI itself is just a tool like a camera or paintbrush.

Riley wanting to give Maggot Brain a B i cannot forget nor forgive 🤬 I’m ok with it as an A because the head isn’t centered, but my argument is that THEY ARE A PSYCHEDELIC/FUNK BAND. It’s way too legendary to be below an A. Inspired ‘Awaken, My Love!’ not only visually, but sonically

[@andi8768]

I don't know if anyone has commented this yet, but the "Scaring The Hoes"-album art is a edited image of a poster for a movie called "Sweet Jesus, Preacherman", so that is why it is giving that "afrocentric action movie" type of feeling.

I like everything you put out, but this is literally your best series yet, I’ve watched all the previous installments ten times over. I don’t see anyone else on the internet doing this, please make more!

[@thecrimsonking187]

12:00 This cover, as much as I'm sorry to say it, is absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the guy makes completely limited music, but this cover is aesthetic, colorful and powerful. I think it could be the cover of a brilliant work, but unfortunately the "artist" isn't particularly great. Still, for me it's right at the top of the category. At least an A. I collect records and have a small wall where a few records always hang, just to appreciate the covers and because it's also a cool home accessory. And if the music was cool, this would definitely be one for the wall.

20:58 he’s actually right, gout was coined as the Kings Disease back in the day because of its association with excess eating, specifically with red meat and high alcohol consumption. A lot of really famous kings, queens, emperors, rich people, etc. throughout history actually had it

[@MilaWht]

No idea if this could be intentional but the king's disease and the gold could be a reference to the story of the "midas touch" a king that asked a god that everything he touch would turn to gold, and it ended up being a curse and stuff, or the gold probably signifies the lighting and the person who took the photo

[@obviouslyanonymous]

I could be wrong, but is 10k gecs' cover intentionally a spoof on American Gothic? Gives a lot of similarities, and it would be a pretty cool reframing of it

[@luispericchi9347]

[@JessePalmerguitar]

Putting out on bond in F was a miss, that cover is hilarious

[@johnwillis4319]

I think the reason that the Lets Start Here. cover works is because the distortion in the faces give an inhuman feel and takes full advantage of the uncanny valley to give you a visceral reaction to the executives on top of any intellectual distaste. Imagine the same album but a normal picture or painting. Not even close to the same impact

[@boejudden9011]

Riley has a slight edgelord to him. Just dismissing Alice Coltrane is just kind of some kneejerk hipsterism that’s a little more transparent than it is open minded. And no you don’t need to directly insult something to imply disrespect or indifference.

[@virakso75]

I wish the Bobby Caldwell niece story was the case but im pretty sure the actual story was that he had originally intended to use a regular picture of himself as the album cover but he was told that if people knew he was white no one would listen to it so instead he used a different picture of himself that he really liked and had it edited to look like that

[@nelworthy]

Video idea : tier list or bracket of rap verses in pop songs , eg. Kendrick Lamar on bad blood

i have a controversial opinion on the let's start here album cover. obviously the cover depicts the higher-ups laughing at yachty for wanting to make the album. but ai generating that album cover tells me that there was no way to depict this with real people and that these higher-ups don't exist. it takes away from the whole message of the cover.
