Happy Birthday Hip-Hop! This year, we celebrate 50 years of incredible, ground-breaking music. In addition to the music, hip-hop artists have given us some of the most iconic album covers.
XXL magazine is out with their list of the 50 greatest album covers of all time.
From XXL: “When it comes to the essence of an album, oftentimes the cover art is just as captivating as the music. Since the popularization of hip-hop in the late 1970s and 1980s, rappers have supported their artistry with eye-catching imagery. As a result, many album covers have become iconic contributions to the culture.”
There have been so many great album covers since the beginning of hip hop, and we decided to mention our favorites on the list.
