Cash in a brief explanation what does the crackboys cover say about the album and the music they represent?

[rob_one]

@ Rob, the comic book cover is a great idea!
But a perfect example of how to execute it is the Outkast "ATLiens" cover!
Theres a RESEMBLANCE in the animated images to ANDRE and BIGBOI(even the superpowers are kind of mirror reflections of their personalities).
Now , on ur cover, U ROCKIN A THICK CHAIN N SUM ICE! lol. DO U SEE THE CONTRADICTION HERE? or u jus gonna say "f*** u CASH" hahahahha

"f*** you Cash"

Seriously though, don't you think you're taking the import of the cover a little bit seriously? Sure, I don't wear ice, but I don't go around burning down cities while being bald and wearing rimless read gla**es either. (Unless it's been a really big night out) It's a fun concept which I thought represented my music perfectly.

This isn't a stock image either. It's done by a talented artist named Kabo Maswabi who I have a lot of respect for. When the cover is finished (text, high quality etc.) I think it's going to look f***ing fantastic. It won't appeal to everybody but hey, neither will my music.

And why would I want to look like ATLiens? That would just be biting.

Theres a time and place for abstractness!
Its not for CD COVERS!

I think this is a chronic failure of your imagination.

You guys don;t understand.

The point of an album cover isn't to look nice or be creative. Its about selling your music in a package that is completely indistinguishable from the next pop artist's and there is no room for imagination.

I also studied art, and one of the first things they teach you when it comes to design is to blindly follow trends. Don't try to come up with anything unique.

Why do you think No Limit sold? Cos they made every single cover look the same. I can't understand why Atliens was such a big hit. That cover was totally original and unique at the time and shouldn't have caught anyone's eye.

We should all just stop trying to be unique and creative, or else this artform will die. Just conform already.

^^^ what he said.  

[cash]

theres a difference with CONFORMING, and being creative enough to work within the BOUNDARIES.

I mean its a lot easier to do something with NO RULES! than to execute something given DEFINED CONSTRAINTS!

thats why hiphop in SA keeps FLOPPING! niggas cum up with their OWN RULES! hence there cannot be growth as there is no way of facilitating CONTINUITY! ie. new cats cannot build from what the older cats did cos they sommer cum up with their own shit too.

its all good fellas, do ur cover however u want! after all, most of yall niggas put it out to be downloaded for free so it really doesnt matter!

now if u think seein peoples FACES on covers is disgusting i dunno.

@Ruthless, heres ur brief explanation of our mixtape cover!
FRONT - WE ALL POSTED UP IN THE STREET READY TO TAKE OVER THE BLOCK WITH THAT CRACK MUSIC! simple!
BACK - IM SITTIN ON A STACK OF MONEY WITH MY DUFFEL BAG ON  MY LAP. ie. Im bout dat money, n im bout my grind! DONE!

thats what CRACK MUSIC IS! GRINDING! N LOOKIN FRESH!

This theme plays into the actual MUSIC in the mixtape!
Bet Dat,CRACK 101,Fly Gear,Nigga Please,Young nFly.etc....

AND ITS STILL NO BEEF! just a consumer perspective!
