May 30, 2024 Rap God cover is clean and dope. Simple but effective and one of his best single artworks. Monster was bad and looks like it could’ve been shot from a Kodak camera from 2009. Lol
May 30, 2024 Cover art has never been his strong suit, I do like the Rap God cover art even if it's super simple
May 30, 2024 Yeah also for the year it was released it wasn’t horrendous. Curtain call 2 and Houdini look like graphic arts from wayyyy back by amateurs on forums.
May 30, 2024 Oh yeah I like it way more than CC2 it's just still a bit cluttered visually, the picture itself is hard though. I like the idea of the poster creases but that and the text can distract from the fact that the image is actually cool!
May 30, 2024 Exactly my thought. Less is more and his latest artworks have been cluttered and cartoon’ish.
May 30, 2024 Last time I was this excited for new Em was when Rap God was about to drop and Em f----- up the promo or some s--- and it was released before he was done teasing it. Any of you remember the "Immortal portal" tweets? (I was "eh" during revival's rollout after WOW dropped and the rest after that were surprise drops)
May 30, 2024 Yeah some like ominous video of a rainforest too iirc then it was leaked on the Belgium iTunes or something LOL
May 30, 2024 I actually think a decent chunk of the MTBMB variants of covers are pretty cool, Relapse, TES/Encore, and SSLP are also solid. Recovery is simple as h--- and kinda boring but it works for what it is. Oh no I just realized I might get people to post cover art rankings...
May 30, 2024 It’s because Jean Houdini is the Father of Magic, and is famous for being the first magician to use electricity in his acts. it intentional
May 30, 2024 If this isn’t fire Eminem is finished lol forever gonna be known as the washed rapper who never learned bros gonna be known as the Tom Macdonald of rap
May 30, 2024 Only ones I'd put as posters on my wall for example would be Relapse, SSLP and some of the s--- on Encore's booklet which was cold af but not the cover itself
May 30, 2024 How did I just notice the one devil on his shoulder is pushing the button This is about to upset a lot of people
May 30, 2024 Yeah I noticed it. Not right away though. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was "Joe Button".
May 30, 2024 This is quite a common concept on magic posters, hardly unique; so they're just mimicking magic poster concepts.
May 30, 2024 I think Em and his team are usually pretty fair. They ask for permission or pay the original artists/companies to use certain stuff. And if can't get the clearances they don't use it. I don't remember anybody suing them for using anything they weren't allowed.
