The "Graffiti" cover is corny as hell, this is creative. Very artsy, very imaginative. It's original, unique and stands out.
The cover tells a story of a kid with a mission and it trails from the 70s and 80s, and he had a part in making of the cover (that's the reason he has been visiting museums and art galleries recently.) Forgive him for being an artist with artistic interests other than his music.
People will not skip on buying the album because of the cover, the singles so far are (at least) platinum certified multi-format smashes and he has a tour and a lots of promotion coming up.
The best post in this whole thread. You know the TRUTH.
it's just a cover! the music is going to blow everyone away, platinum album coming up!!!
and i like it, not his best, but at least it's different. rihanna fans just need to get a job..
