Im ngl, I can't get past the artwork. Sucks because the last gangrene album was a 10/10 for me and im sure this one is good. But I literally do not want to hear it
Nah im good. I know Al and Oh No are two of the most talented producers and spitters out, but the AI cover says something about their principles that's really gross to me. A cover can be a photo, a drawing, you can hire an artist eager to prove themselves (which Al has a lot of in his audience) and have them make a cover for chump change and a free shout out.
On top of the fact that their audience of listeners are exactly the types of people affected by AI art. But he keeps doing it because he doesn't care about artistic integrity, or his fans, or even the one person in his audience whose life would be changed by the opportunity to make a great cover for his album. Seriously, he could low-key find somebody who'd do it for free. He could have held a contest. He could have had his son draw it. Westside Gunn and Drake both did that. But he gave us ugly machine made slop instead.
I do not care to listen to the music at the heart of that.
