Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

I gotta disagree about the cover, I actually like the cover.

The message I get from it, is that he's just making straight up Rap shiit, no artsy concept music, just a simple beats and rhymes.

that's still an artsy concept in itself bro...and one that's very much en vogue atm

"we're gonna cut all of the artsy fat out, strip it down and be very minimal...we're taking it back to that rap sh1t" it's still very considered and neatly packaged...in the fashion of a wolfgang tillmans picture


it's just sh1t all the way round

the two pictures are crap

the font choice is crap

the colours of the fonts are crap

we'll just have to agree to disagree

 

[The G.O.D II]

I don't have good feelings at all regarding this

 

[The Mad Titan]

I like the cover

Be Humble.

@Deltron when it's time

That album cover looks like some shyt you do when you making album covers for CDs to sell out your trunk.

 

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

Let's go!

 

[Rev]

not sure if it's been done already, but i'm sure the nerds will try to dissect that album cover and all too.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Would have been better just putting text on all black

 

[phillycavsfan]

No lie, when I saw that U2 feature...

I got all the faith in Kendrick's ability tho.

 

[Deoji]

gotta feelin the cover may make more sense once we hear the album.

[Insensitive]

Don't be that guy.

The artwork contributes to the vibe and aesthetic of the album.

Agreed.
The cover should imo encapsulate
what you mean to say in your music.
GKMC and TPAB tell alot with their
covers alone.

Album cover legit looks like some old school cashmoney/no limit shyt before they discovered pixel art
