GKMC is literally the best album cover of all time. It is a polaroid of Kendrick as a kid sitting with his dad. There is a bottle of 40% on the table, and his dad is throwing up a gang sign. This is to show the environment he grew up in in compton. AKA «Maad city» He crosses out the eyes of everyone except himself to show that its the view from an innocent child. AKA «Good kid» therefore «good kid, m.A.A.d city. It fits perfectly with the album which also is one of the greates albums oat. How is this not a perfect cover art?

[@4444-s3x]

Wow on point 👀👏🏻

For a suggestion I would say Midnight by Set It Off. It's so aesthetic and captures the feel of the album perfectly. It also references one of the songs, Hourglass, with sand. The hands have 12 fingers, there's a digital 12:00, 'midnight' written in the back to reference the title. I think it's so beautiful and I love the little details.

The Braille on the work, although traditionally written by Nachum for his other pieces, is by poet Chloë Mitchell, who has worked with Rihanna as well as Kanye West. It reads: I sometimes fear that I am misunderstood. It is simply because what I want to say, what I need to say, won't be heard.

I think Pixel Bath's cover matches the music pretty well. Jean Dawson has to see the world in a pretty amazingly colorful way to make music that unique and quality. A rainbow visor and that bright colorful palette literally encapsulating his head/mind makes sense to me. (Also do yourself the favor and listen to that album if you haven't)

I pretty sure Igor is broken up into two parts falling in love/ learning how to recover. That is why he has the short hair in the cover. Because the wig is the first half. Almost in a book where u read the end of the story on the first page without context.

personally I would like to see you both operate under a slight change in the rules, where an iconic album cover that we all are used to seeing isn't given heavy bias towards S. just rate the album cover like it's the first time you're seeing it and you're judging it solely for the quality of the art. at least that's my opinion, as an art person. love from baltimore
