WTF Happened to Hip Hop Album Covers?

It’s been said that when it comes to first impressions, presentation is everything. Across movie trailers to snippets of leaked tracks, we often make our minds up long before the finished product ever reaches us. And when it comes to the long and storied tradition of the hip-hop album, the same rules apply.

But in the recent past, particularly during the dawn of the streaming era, more and more rappers have seemed to start phoning it in with their album artwork. As a result, album covers are no longer receiving the emphasis that they’ve not only traditionally received but rightfully deserve.
