I'm all for taking risks, but I believe that this statement is not true. From what I understand, there is always a noticeable difference between local and international covers. international covers always sell more than local. Like there is a big difference between Jay Z cover and Ben Sharpa cover. This may be because Jay Z has appeal with more than "heads" . So they get more buyers. To me it sounds like they are competing with other youth mags, e.g. Y mag (if it still exists).
I'm sure stats could support your argument. Perhaps the season in which the issues came out could also be a contributing factor.. I may be wrong but Wasn't the Jay-Z cover out during Christmas time?
But, yeah it is a bit warped that a cover could have so much power over an established magazine. Surely the majority of Hype supporters don't just buy a magazine for the cover story? Especially seeing that the international covers are not providing "breaking" or "exclusive" news?
Maybe the main problem with local covers is, for the most part, industry cats all think they deserve one, so their seldom happy with having another local industry cat on the cover before them? A ton of local hip hop heads in the country always ask questions like "what has so and so ever done to deserve a cover?".
Interesting points.
I copped the album @ Look & Listen. So it is Coppable.
