    I wish covers got taken more seriously. I feel like a album is art and the cover should be the part of that art.

    Artwork is important to me. We're talking music obviously, so a bad cover is not going to ruin a song, but a striking image can really add to the experience. Examples:

    Nas - Illmatic. That image is genius, the perfect cover for a rap album. An innocent little boy against a rough neighbourhood, tells you everything you need to know about the rapper's life, every rapper's life, more-or-less.

    Kendrick's GKMC polaroids are instantly evoking the feel and tone of that album.

    Pusha T killed Drake before he even spoke with his Story of Addidon cover.
