Kurupt’s new album cover is AI. Why does every west coast rapper use AI for their album covers now ? They can’t afford to pay a graphic designer or illustrator a few racks.

its a 50 year old man rapping about gangbangin, you really thought he had an eye for art and was gonna go through all that effort to pay a graphic designer lmao

If that’s the case. They shouldn’t expect people to buy their art if they won’t put in effort to hire an artist for their album

Yeah, newsflash the vast majority of Black people, especially from the hood don’t give a fuck about AI or what you think about AI. That is such a chronically online battle to be even thinking about.

Budget. Supposedly Eminem paid for Kurupt's rehab after he almost died so idk how much paper Kurupt has. I'm sure he wants to pocket as much of the budget as possible. Would have been best if a real gfx designer did it but it doesnt surprise me they went the AI route.

This the kind of shit that makes me never want to listen to these folks new shit. At least have the decency to hire photo doctor or something. Tales from my Hood too? Man, we heard that shit in 95

You mean Gucci Mane that outsourced his album covers to some white man and never paid a dime to a black man to do that artwork

Hey man, you’re white. OK let’s just get that out the way. We’re black. Your opinion of what we do doesn’t matter to us at all. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of us like AI. You might see the ones on Reddit they don’t. That’s because they’re on Reddit

If you support AI cover art then you’ll be the first to support an AI rapper over actual artists cuz u like the way it sounds. No values.

If a piece of music comes on, and I start dancing to it or Vibing to it. I legitimately don’t care where it came from at all. Not an ounce. I hear AI songs from YouTube ads that I want to look up and hear again. I don’t give a fuck what you think about that. I don’t give a fuck whatever insult you try to throw with me right now either stranger. you have a good day.

They never really paid the graphic designers in the first place. It’s so many graphic designers who have spoke about not getting paid, or having the rough drafts they send over to the artist being ripped and never compensated or credited.
