Why do so many artists neglect album covers?

You're looking through nostalgia. They're both good covers.
The Damn cover expresses black America pretty well

Calling someone white isn't an insult, I wasn't trying to be insulting. I'm just stating a simple fact.

However, I am now trying to be insulting when I say this;

No one but a tasteless whiteboy would complain about album art being trash.

No matter what point in time you look at, some artists have cared and others haven't. Some were tacky, superficial and of the era and others are ageless.

It isn't supposed to be indicative of anything other than trying to contextualize the album. Good or bad as it is, it just doesn't matter.

>It isn't supposed to be indicative of anything other than trying to contextualize the album. Good or bad as it is, it just doesn't matter.

Contextualising the album is something that matters though. Associating an image with the music can reveal extra meaning. Just like adding certain music to the images in a film can change the meaning of them.

For the record i like the Damn cover.

>look for album recommendations
>"try this user!"
>look at the cover
>its shit
>so i dont listen to the album

Anyone else do this?

See Not every album is good, let the cream rise to the top like it should.
If you don't like bad album art, maybe that band isn't for you (although, of course you'd be accidentally ruling out many great bands)

You have shit taste in aesthetics, Kendrick doesn't have a single good cover.

The thing that bothers me for a lot of artists is when they have like 10 albums and they're all a variation of a picture of their face

fucking cringe

what was his problem?

Bruv you're 14 and don't know anything about hip hop. Sick buzzword btw, makes you sound really artsy.
You don't understand Kendricks "aesthetic". lots of people really like it, fans and critics alike.

It's all clean and consistent, even if it isn't showy. And that's more than most hip hop artists can say.

I just really hate these fucking whiteboys talking about things they have no right to discuss/shows their lack of understanding/their righteousness/their close minded stances.

You don't belong in art, yuppie/NEET spoon-fed babies.

>not liking an album cover = lack of understanding/their righteousness/closed mind

lmao you're looking into this a bit too hard man

>The Damn cover expresses black America pretty well
I'm ready to read what kind of shitty arguments made you come up with this bullcrap

Nigger look angry and tired
Red

DAMN.

damn....

>Agressive and confrontational expression
>No symbolism or 'artiness', just a simple dude
>Big angry font shouting an exclamation

Sounds pretty black to me

Get mad impoverished shit skin

God, I hate that album cover so much, and I can't even explain why. It has probably something to do why the awkward angle, his weird, his stupid facial expresssion, the even more stupid wall. But for some reason all of these slightly stupid elements combined create this utterly grotesque tasteless fucking piece of trash, that never fails to fill me up with an unlprcedented amount of pure aggression the moment my eyes happen to take a glance at it.

if you took out the text and it was just kendrick looking like a weird ass nigga it wouldn't be that bad
