- So David Byrne stole it from Africa then Kanye stole it back?eighteen
- uhhhh...monospaced
- I'm talking about the type and images here. Kanye isn't African anyway.monospaced
- just a joke, the style is African thougheighteen
- the style of this album that is, Kanye's artwork is just shit.eighteen
- sure, but kinda not the point of what I'm sayingmonospaced
- Yeah but it's what I'M saying, I have no idea what you're saying. Seems like responding with "uhhh" is just being intentionally vagueeighteen
- I'm talking about the design, which, if you were a designer, isn't vague at all. Makes a lot more sense than saying "rappers are the laziest musicians"monospaced
- Sorry that I'm not completely committed to this discussion about the design of, literally, the biggest "fuck you" of an album cover I've ever seen.eighteen
- I'm not a designer, but I am a musician. Just thought I'd give my two cents.eighteen

The fact that you even need to ask "what style" this is proves that Kanye has done his job of convincing you that everything he does is 'high art' no matter how much evidence there is against him.
For some reason in the last 6 years rappers and hip-hop purists have decided that they're just as artistic as actual artists that spend time and effort perfecting their discipline (as opposed to just writing poetry to james brown loops).
Rappers are the laziest musicians.

I just feel it is trying too hard to not care. The combination of the image placement and the "ill just throw this text on here and im done in 1.5 minutes" just doesnt do it for me.
not my tempo. lol

The work is fairly simple but quite modern in it style, with an orange backdrop and the title repeated over and over in black lettering, occasionally overlapping in places. There’s a wedding photo in the bottom corner and it appears to be of his parents following their ceremony. That would make perfect sense, especially since just before Yeezy officially debuted the cover art, he shared part of it from his computer screen alongside the lyrics to “Father Stretch My Balls,” while noting, “I cried writing this. I love my Dad.” And all we know how much he deeply loved his late mom Donda, who died in Nov. 2007 after complications following plastic surgery.

It's called money over style and substance.
