The albumвЂ™s cover was simply the plain image of a CD in a jewel case. Kanye West вЂ“ YeezusДЄlways willing to push the boundaries of art, Kanye West dropped his sixth studio album YeezusВ with little promotion beyond a provocative title.

The cover of EminemвЂ™s debut full length release mirrors the violent fantasies of the rapperвЂ™s alter ego for whom the record is named. The cover introduced the groupвЂ™s signature вЂpistol and fistвЂ™ artwork and the вЂTag the JewelsвЂ™ campaign in which the group encouraged graffiti artists to recreate the cover. The duo launched in 2013 with their self-titled debut album. Run the Jewels is the product of rapper-producer El-P and OutKast homie, emcee Killer Mike. The graphical portrayal of the shirtless rapper covered in blood was a striking image that suggested a rock and metal influence that DMX would later cater to in his recoding career.

The recordвЂ™s title and cover continued the Biblical theme of ItвЂ™s Dark and Hell Is Hot. DMX вЂ“ Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My BloodДMXвЂ™s second album dropped less than a year after his debut. Memorable, unique and absolutely one of the best rap album covers of all time.

The albumвЂ™s cover is an artistic rendition of the rapperвЂ™s face interwoven with the moon. Now over a decade later the record is regarded as a new-school classic. There were high hopes for the debut album from Kanye West protege Kid Cudi before it dropped in September, 2009. Kid Cudi вЂ“ Man on the Moon: The End of Day There have been times when IвЂ™ve stumbled across an artist IвЂ™ve never heard of before and IвЂ™ve listened to their album off the strength of their artwork вЂ“ a recent example would be Daniel SonвЂ™s album, Son Tzu & The Wav.God.ДЇrom GZAвЂ™s comic book renders on Liquid Swords to the fantasyland of Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde to the hugely influential Illmatic artwork, here are the 50 best rap album covers of all time. You know that saying вЂ“ вЂњdonвЂ™t judge a book by its coverвЂќ вЂ“ well I totally judge a hip hop album by its cover. Still, that doesnвЂ™t mean the rap album cover is from a bygone era. This album is the epitome of Classic Material.WhatвЂ™s the value of an album cover in the streaming era? ItвЂ™s not like back in the day when vinyl records featured the space large enough to accommodate thoughtful artwork вЂ“ nowadays, youвЂ™re most likely staring at the cover on a mobile device. You could literally write a short book on the importance of ATLiens. The little things thrown in each track ( вЂњWheelz Of SteelвЂќ вЂ“ When Big Boi says вЂњDonвЂ™t want no AIDS, no claps, or no rabiesвЂќ, I still clap at the right time). The whole aliens theme used throughout the album (How dope is that album cover?). How the title ATLiens help make Atlanta the hotbed of talent it is today. ThereвЂ™s so many things I could talk about. That also means I could write on and on about it. So yeah, as you can see, I REALLY like this album. Not to slight Organzied Noize the tracks they produced shaped the whole album and fit perfectly with Outkast. Their involvement on production side would gradually increase in future OutkastвЂ™s albums, but it was here where they started. On this album, Outkast also stepped behind the boards and produced 5 of the 15 tracks on the album. But then just because itвЂ™s on the album and surrounded by greatest, it to would probably be a great song then. The only way for a bad track to be on this album is to make up one and say it was on there. What? You never heard that song? YouвЂ™re right. I can honestly say that every song on ATLiens is straight fire.

Do you really think that weвЂ™d be talking about Outkast the same way if they would have stay on that path? Here they went to more unconventional subject matter than what was covered in Southern Hip-Hop and threw away the tag they got from their first album (Southern Pimps). But it was ATLiens that set them apart as a group that set itвЂ™s own path. Yes their first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was great. This is the album that changed everything for Andre 3000 & Big Boi. ThatвЂ™s how strong I feel about the significance of this album. Matter of fact, not only is it Outkast best album and one of my Top 5 albums of all time, I honestly feel itвЂ™s the BEST Hip-Hop album to ever come out of the South. Have you ever listened to an album that was so good that every time you listened to the album your favorite song from the album would change? Okay, let me explain better: One day itвЂ™s this song and then the next day itвЂ™s another?В ThatвЂ™s how I felt and still feel about OutkastвЂ™s greatest album ATLiens.
