The Best & Worst Rap Album Covers (TIER LIST)

[@e-o-o]

Baby G.O.A.T is a masterpiece m. Not even Picasso could make such a beautiful work of art. It’s not just an album cover it’s something comparable to works like the Mona Lisa and all of Banksy’s work combined

[@writh2656]

Picasso has been very quiet since that cover was shown ong

[@Edtism]

Anybody could make the Mona Lisa, but Leonardo Davinci could never make Baby G.O.A.T...

[@elenasayshi]

it literally took me years to see eminem facepalming in the cover of revival

[@gschmarri2014]

Tetsuo and youth and dmiz covers are underrated imo, they fit the projects very well and contain interesting symbolism. The fact Lupe painted them himself is the cherry on top

[@judeslater4981]

I didn't know he painted them himself, thats so sick but it doesn't totally surprise me given how talented that dude is

[@bobbytarantino3552]

Sam spratt and logic have created some of my favourite album art of all time. In my opinion their work is only rivalled by Kanye and possibly Tyler who offer a bit more variety across their discographies

[@darkcraftertheking4377]

I think relapse DESERVES S tier. The absolute detail that went in. But yeah a part 2 would be dope

[@droga6927]

CDTV, you should definitely make a video about the most underrated/greatest Eminem album RELAPSE

[@gashacybin]

i cant wait for cdtv to bear witness to the masterpiece that is dr doooms first come first served album cover. its simply the greatest artwork ever crafted by a human being. it feels like glimpsing into a world we were not supposed to see

[@Kmad03]

NEED A PART 2 🔥 The disrespect to Tyler the Creator tho 😭 went through all of Navs albums but skipped one of Tylers best covers

[@themaddestvillain-g4q]

I’m happy to see CDTV put NAV’s cover arts in the S tier. His album covers are goated just like his music.

[@Del_003]

The Plugs I Met from Benny the Butcher is one my favorite covers. Without even listening to any songs you can already tell it's about to be a solid project.

[@elenasayshi]

if you ever do a second one of these, make sure to include a "unrankable" tier

[@trashhuman3977]

Bro imagine putting 6 months of research into creating artwork for an album as mid as Everybody by Logic

[@Starzoh]

Okay this definitely needs to be a series and in the next one add a "???" tier where there just so much going on your brain can't even process where to rank the cover

[@matthewporter5718]

some trippie redd ones could be good for this, there’s a pretty wide range in his covers and a lot to choose from

[@buckdeluck]

Def man on the moon 1 is up there, prolly one of my favorite pieces of art

[@YungBuckTheLabrat]

Savage mode 2 has such an old school look to it, but with a modern twist, I don't really know how else to explain it. Its cool though as the cover reflects the sound of the album imo, songs like many men and steppin on.... have a very old school feel and sound to em, but also has the modern mumble rap vibe with the way that 21 slurs his ways through the beats, yes this is probably the clearest he's ever rapped but I feel like that vibe is still there. Its a great album with a great fuckin cover.

[@tobyc7375]

you should do a vinyl Cover tier list. be cool to see vinyl art compared to the album covers

[@thatgamerguy3057]

Could the no pressure cover being the under pressure basement torn apart be because it’s logic now that he’s... blown up?

[@AshenFates]

No cap I think ur spot on wit this cuz I saw a expanded version of the cover and it had alot of things from the original UP cover

[@EpicRadicalDude]

You should rank Eminem albums based on how funny the skits are

[@johnnyjoestarirl]

Crazy how the noti for this vid popped up when I just saw the new Cudi album cover 😭😭 I’m sure the album will be good but that cover is not it for me

[@nerdsville2299]

we need an updated eminem discography ranking

[@Ryan-qv2gk]

I didn't realize the Relapse cover was a bunch of pills... Oopsy

[@YungBuckTheLabrat]

For the new nav album I honestly think the album cover is very cool, but I do agree that it dosn't fit navs sound, but despite that I still like the art style.

[@fuadfatani6054]

I’d argue logic has the best album covers in hip hop history. Just the details that Sam Spratt put in are insane.

[@CyberHangman]

You should see the cover for Dr. Doom's "First Come First Served". Kool Keith was inspired by all the crazy Cash Money covers to make a cover of his own that is even more ridiculous. I know of no other album cover where somebody serves a rat burger

[@jesusrox4u]

That Good Intentions Deluxe cover looks like if AI was tasked with making a NAV album cover if animated like it was on a preschooler series like CocoMelon. 😂

[@AshenFates]

Logic doesn't make the best music but man his album covers are fucking amazing

[@michaelmacvittie6977]

Some artists I would like to see in a part 2: Kendrick Lamar Little Simz Ye Gorillaz Run The Jewels El-P solo

[@vampireblades]

if you do this again please do Mildred by Grim Salvo lmfao i know you probably haven't heard it but it's one of my favorite covers ever, and i genuinely feel it matches the music very well

[@Josh-pj7tq]

14:38 I never even clocked that wtf lol

[@ethanjos]

Doin thangs has huge "the typa shit I've been on" energy

[@NOBODYSEED]

Need a tier list of just the pen & paper covers

[@michaelmacvittie6977]

Putting album art in a tier list? DOIN THANGS

[@zsmrszn8401]

never thought id hear the words “Nav is looking awfully submissive and breedable” come out of someones mouth. I wish I hadn’t.

[@oak3ns]

I saw Baby G.O.A.T.'s cover in the thumbnail, and I knew we were in for a good time

[@johnsturntable]

We gotta make this a series

[@makergotdrip]

been waiting for this video

[@freeindialegionenjoyer1999]

Make another vid but with mid west and south (mostly down south) covers of 90s 💀

[@henrywilkerson5681]

demons protected by angels is a good cover on it's own but it shouldn't be paired with nav's music

[@DefinitelyNotGerm]

can’t believe you forgot osama bin guapo by jose guapo

[@TheOnlyBabeWithBrain]

Snoop Doggs Doggystyle is pretty cool IMO, first rap album cover that caught my eye as a child MBDTF + 808s is pretty sick too

[@TheOnlyBabeWithBrain]

and MF Dooms albums too! … And Pushas Darkest Before Dawn… And Big Seans I Decided or Hall of Fame

[@cynicalip]

15:42 Is this a reference to Everything Everywhere All at Once?

[@djdymond287]

We need a part 2!

[@Whodnl]

Young CDTV legend

[@SikohPOK]

Andre Nickitina and Equipto's albums Horns and Halos #1 and #3 are two of my favorite covers.

[@coco_rthritis6462]

No Love Deep Web album cover go hard, literally

[@jlacky303]

Make a part 2 and add LIVE.LOVE.ASAP cover by rocky and trap story by jeezy

[@umusuuk]

disagree with you on some of the Tyler rankings. I'll grant that the original Wolf cover is less indicative of the sound, the original is a classic Tyler move, as is the Cherry Bomb cover for the next video, The Coup's "Party Music", all those Gucci/Waka/Sosa Horror themed mixtapes, Outkast "Stankonia" (obvious S in on my list). there are also a bunch of artists that deserve a fuell or selected discofraphy ranking from Kanye, Jay-Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, Death Grips, Viper

[@mukulnag1578]

More artists maybe ... Kendrick , jayz and Kanye

[@tonydrew914]

Next time do one for Astroworld

[@samheard7849]

CDTV dawg you are straight up wrong about that first Nav album

[@revengedsouls8303]

Need Uzi projects on the pt 2

[@benjager7]

do kendrick and Cole covers bc a lot of those are classic

[@veirglas]

ah i wanted motms but its okay cdtv love ya man

[@kyle3539]

illmatic has my favourite album cover. Don’t even know why

[@ciaranatort-6008]

Could you do no limit records album covers

[@ManLikeRUBE]

Flower boy S tier

[@Xalraroz]

i never knew Eminem was facepalming on the Revival Cover, i never knew he was there to begin with WTF!?!

[@thuglifeinc4894]

Monkey Barz and Mic Tyson by Sean Price deserve a mention. Blood Money by Mobb Deep is a decent album cover. Muddy Waters and Doc's Da Name 2000 by Redman deserve a mentoin. Add Dare Iz A Darkside. DiCaprio 2 by J.I.D. The Oscar's version.

[@moongirl_lunalav]

if there’s a part 2 def add trap story by gucci mane

[@reyrey.ak-47]

2:53 why?

[@WhatAG23]

Do the Ye (rapper) covers in part 2

[@reyrey.ak-47]

[@reterer6582]

[@Reezy_Tha_Fundraiser]

Drake's CLB has to be on here

[@DrDoomBloom]

Big Bear…Doin Thangs #Legend

[@theawesomeguy9999]

Doin Thangs cover is 🔥, easy A tier

[@disinformationxx]

big bear lowkey gas

[@plplplplplpl7336]

I can't believe you didn't include Gucci manes trap story or donda

[@artinthewater]

Sam spratt the goat, my inspiration for my art

[@bigbob5103]

you forgot the number 1 best brown boy in the game emergency tsunami :(

[@notafamousperson95]

i think you should take a gander at Gunna's album covers lol

[@Rubens-Jean-Baptiste]

I like the 21 Savage album 🔥🔥

[@laustinspacemusic]

Hey wierd beard...why you yelling at the mic?

[@DuxXCTF]

where's certified boy lover?

[@sireburris]

Grip has a great album cover idft

[@miltonvelaram]

Calling nav s+b caught me so off guard sir

[@handsoap1383]

no pressure is and easy s, its 30x better then relapse

[@cynicalip]

I think the CoaDM cover looks sick as well. Even tho the album itself...

[@MouadAlagi]

Donda will beat all of these album covers! Just so meaningful!

[@burnedtortilla9217]

B.G and Project Pat have underrated album covers

[@reyrey.ak-47]

Where is Die Lit? The best album cover of all time i mean..⚫⚪🔳🔳

[@Northsyde21]

Revivals gotta be C or D

[@macheteishrecords8419]

Who the hell is Nav?

[@yourstereotypicalnerd]

Whole lotta Nav

[@nomeca961]

Where’s quad

[@Zachrax]

[@Waltuh91]

Under pressure deluxe cover goes HARRRRRD

[@muleboy3537]

Temple of Boom cover

[@NoThoughtAllFeels]

Everybody definitely is one of the best album covers of all time.

[@jacksampsonforever]

DMX!!

[@tofulemonade6329]

Anyone else catch the Brotha Lynch Hung beat at 11:13?

I was just about to comment that

i never thought i’d hear someone say nav is looking submissive and breedable 😂

[@joemomma6317]

How dare you cdtv😭 I love you but whole lotta red is definitely not carti’s best album

[@original_shmirko_account]

Nav lol

[@toopienator]

0:21 something something MGK Rap Devil was trash

[@de1der]

Not surprised that Honestly Nevermind by drake would be the only entry in the S tier

[@themaddestvillain-g4q]

It’s the album cover ever

[@dabs.47]

Definitely one of the albums of the decade

[@GigaGorilla348]

It has the quality of a meme that’s been reposted over and over every day since 2005

[@texanarchy666]

@nick name how lmao... usually I'd agree but it looks like bladee cover art, not generic drake shit. I hate the album but think the covers very good.

[@bigdraco2390]

massive is the song of the year
