Really?

...

yes

They couldn't make Lil B's shitty cover look good without changing everything about it. Should have just chosen another cover.

A lot of these are actually pretty nice, but Jesus this is so blatant.
Maybe they're hoping black readers will have lower standers in quality or something. Either way, considering how progressive Marvel is trying to be, I doubt many of their ongoings would interest such a notoriously homophobic demographic.

black people or fans of rap music?

If they wanted to do a lil b cover they should have done like Black Ken and get B Marra to draw that one too, it's not like he hasn't worked with Marvel before either

>not liking pen & pixel

I

>this is so blatant

Well, it's not like they were trying to cover up that they were copying the covers?

There was a whole month of hip hop variants

>this is so blatant
They weren't trying to hide it dumbass.

The hip-hop variant cover program continues into Marvel NOW 2.0, and the first hip-hop variants under that banner can be found at fuse.tv/2016/07/marvel-hip-hop-variant-comic-book-covers-second-wave

Only white people listen to 90s East Coast hip hop. Real niggas are listening to Gucci Mane or Future or something.

>not using cyclops for this cover
You just had one job.

Reminder to not order this shit unless you want to fuck over your LCS.

To get this variants Marvel gives them conditions like increase your last order of this comic by 50-80 percent to get this variants. Your LCS ends up with books they won't be able to sell and Marvel keeps inflating their numbers.

wrong cover

true desu

they dont care enough to listen to anything older than whats on the radio

They are not really trying to appeal to minorities. They're just trying to create buzz. If it was genuine they'd see the irony of doing these covers and painting themselves as a pro-feminism, pro-LGBT company.

Hey at least they have some black writers this time around, unlike last time they did these covers

Naw, mang.
Real niggas listen ta Kool Savas.

>white people

He means it's a blantant attempt to look lit.

Lauryn Hill sucked live. Wish i saw Jimmy Cliff instead.

>He thinks black people are the biggest consumers of Hip Hop

I SHOW NO LOVE

>Lauryn Hill sucked live.
>mfw she brought all her damn kids on stage

Fist of the North Star gets mentioned enough on Sup Forums that I can get a pass on this right?

Those variants convinced me to increase my music library. After listening to it, Madvillainy was an amazing album.

Duude, Madvillainy is amazing indeed. Check out both DOOM and Madlib's other stuff: for the former, anything from his 1999-2006 streak, starting from Operation Doomsday. For the latter, his collaboration with Freddie Gibbs (Pinata) has some of his best beats.

Why did they pick such shitty music?

Should have used some metal, some grunge, some electronica, some insustrial, and so on.

Most of that is the same damn genre.

They could have picked so many other Lil B albums.
Hell, if they wanted to do the pen & pixel cover for someone, why not choose from the myriad of Memphis Rap artists?

Too bad metal is a shit tier genre

One of the most important life lessons I've learned was when I grew up enough to get over myself and admit that for as objectively cheesy and shit his music is, I actually don't mind Robbie Williams. It allowed me to realise that pretty much every music genre has something to offer that I'll like and that I was being childish by limiting myself.

Metal is the dwelling place of edgy teens who want to lazily rebel against society/teachers/their parents. There's nothing wrong with listening to it, I own nearly every album Iron Maiden have ever produced, but I'm well aware that its childish edgyness. And that's without getting into fun genres that are cringy as fuck when people take them seriously, like "Viking metal" or "Pirate metal". Jesus Christ.

Listening exclusively to metal after the age of about 18 or so is a sin, but a slightly forgivable one. Still dressing the way you did when you were 16 and pretending metal is in any way a patrician genre and being so triggered about a thread about hip hop that you deride it with an unwarranted sense of arrogance, all while posting the album art to an Iron Maiden record that isn't even top 3 is just plain sad man.

My relationship with Metal is the same as it is with Dragonball Z. There's something I enjoy there, but the fanbase is just the fucking worst and I'm ashamed to admit that that shitty fanbase tarnishes my enjoyment somewhat.

>robbie williams

I'll be damned if his cover of miss jones isn't the tightest shit

Remember, shill: if you want Daddy Disney's dollar, you need to be subtle. Blatant brand-building "make-a-meme workshop" threads like this can be counterproductive.

>Talking about comics, aspects of comics or their ephemera on Sup Forums is shilling

You feeling ok mate?

They're trying to appeal to their target audience of white twentysomething vinyl buying hipsters who still think the album is a relevant format. None of those genres appeal to that audience. Suggest a shoe gaze covers month and then we'll talk.

Most hipsters I know who buy vinyl own far more classic rock, pop hits and shit like Daft Punk than Hip Hop user.

Hell I am one of those Vinyl buying hipsters and the only Hip Hop album I own thusfar is Illmatic by Nas

Well, good choice.

Pretty much this. A lot of my vinyl collecting friends get Classic Rock or Psych Rock and usually what's hip right now. The only hip hop records I own are Deltron 3030 and cLOUDDEAD.

metal is the gayest shit on earth, my man

you should consider graduating to high school and not wearing trenchcoats

>Most of that is the same goddamn genre

Well you will get that when they say they're doing *HIP HOP* variant covers.

Also
>Metal

There are easier ways of saying "I was bullied at school and never got over it so I overcompensate by listening to edgy music."

why do I feel offended for white characters acting black


this is weird
am I triggered right now?

Its just album covers my man. They aren't acting black.

Or did you get triggered when they did that Nevermind cover for Deadpool a while back cause he was totally the Nirvana baby.

I'm so fucking tired of the same old Nirvana songs on the radio.

The problem with hip hop is that the album covers by and large aren't visually iconic in a way that, say, Abbey Road, or Dark Side Of The Moon are. So you're "paying tribute" to a visual almost no one picks up on. Like, is anyone going to seriously make a case for the Pharcyde or Missy Elliot covers being immediately recognizable, parody or otherwise?

And truthfully, since most of hip hop's true classics came out during the CD era, those covers were never designed to have that larger than life visual element that the more memorable album art of the 70s and 80s had. Like, 36 Chambers is babby's first REAL HIP HOP album, but that cover is just kind of... There, static.

As for metal, aside from the fact that most comic artists just aren't good enough or work on too tight a schedule to even imitate the commercial artists who did the best metal covers (I pity anyone given the task of mimicking Struzen's cover for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath), the truth is the week isn't that deep. Like, after you burn through maiden, Sabbath, Priest and The Big Four, how many covers are out there that you could expect the casual music fan to identify? I'm sure the Squirrel Girl x Sodom "Agent Orange" cover will go over brilliantly. As much as I'd love to see Hawkeye: Fallen Angel Of SHIELD parodying the Blasphemy album, I don't think the world is ready, you know?

The real answer is you ignore genre and just pick, again, genuinely iconic covers. A Funkadelic cover one month, Zeppelin the next, Pet Sounds after that...anything that fits the character, is clever, and you could expect people to actually recognize. The hip hop thing is forced and tired.

Memphis rappers aren't that well known or a meme like Lil B is

No I totally get it and overall it isn't a problem but for some reason my first thought was that this is of bad taste for some reason

>Not visually iconic

>The hip hop thing is forced and tired.
agreed with everything expect that part
yeah rap albums isn't maybe as visually interesting but they are still icon and that's what matters.


how come everytime there is a black centric topic there is always a user that complaints and try to argue that they should go with the more white option

...

you do realize that hip hop / rock are under the same tree

If they wanted visuals they'd pick more recent ones instead of trying to act cool. Literally Marvel is so cringe taking into account the current agenda they have.

It's like with the cast of the new Spider-Man. It's a bunch of brown people and the White kid main character. It's like some sort of token cast. It's actually offensive

They need to stop trying so hard. These covers feel like token covers too. Like goddamn do some other genre's covers instead of predominantly black ones. Do you have no fucking shame.

>If they wanted visuals they'd pick more recent ones instead of trying to act cool.
Why? These albums are iconic and recognizable by many, many people. Sorry if you're the one who happens to be so out of the loop that you don't recognize fucking Lauryn Hill.

>brown kids can't coexist and interact with white kids especially in new york of all places

> It's actually offensive

for you because you are retarded.

Why on earth would you do a hip hop cover variant and then not do the classic albums?

Do you honestly think that black people are the predominant consumers of hip hop?

Are you not aware of people like MF Doom who literally named himself after Doctor Doom and who previously went by the name Tony Starks?

Is it so hard to imagine that there might be people out there who are hip hop fans who are getting a kick out of these variants?

Why are you so goddamn salty son?

Man that baby's dick is gross.

Did he ever grow up looking at this album and think, "Man, my dick looked gross"?

why did i laugh at this this isn't funny

fuck I'm still laughing fuck you

He was on Nevermind the Buzzcocks a few years back. Apparently its gotten him laid on more than one occasion.

I'd say he's probably fine with it.

I know who Lauryn Hill is asshole. In fact I know pretty much most of these album covers. Fuck I didn't even allude to whether people would recognize them or not
I meant visuals in terms of designs because a lot of recent album covers barring mixtape and Lil B look good.
Also is Lil B iconic to anyone in as large a scope as a Tribe Called Quest? I know you're an asshole but are you actually retarded? I wasn't even disagreeing with you either. I was agreeing that they're not visually interesting. Fuck off

My point is that they should go with more iconic/recognizable album covers regardless of the "race" associated with the genre of that album. Jesus, the fucking album cover I posted is a reggae album. This notion that hip hop is a) exclusively "black music" and b) the be all end all of black expression in music is as insane as thinking that parodying a Nicki Minaj album cover will sell comics.

Yes, by the time you get down to Lil B digital only mixtapes, I'm saying the concept has gotten tired and the well has run dry. I can give you dozens of better Latin, reggae, jazz, blues and soul album cover candidates before we enter the dreaded *gulp* "WHITER OPTIONS," you insane fuckin weirdo

Doom's new series better have a cover paying homage to this.

>forgetting me and my shadow

"your baby dick got me all turned on"

>Fuck I didn't even allude to whether people would recognize them or not
Why else would you want them to be more "recent"? If anything, choosing something recent just for the sake of it being recent would be them "acting cool". "Token covers", really, you're just throwing words around.

>asshole, asshole, asshole
Wow, sorry I upset you so badly. I can give you some space to breath if you'd like.

Its probably more to be able to say they fucked someone who was on one of the most iconic album covers of all time

It should just straight up be that cover, completely unaltered except for MF DOOM being changed to IRON DOOM

Thanks for the space bro. I appreciate it

I just meant that a lot of older rap album covers are a bit dusty.
And the token thing is just me venting because of the current state of Marvel. How it always feel's like they're pushing an agenda. It makes it hard to separate the shit they're doing currently because it seems so disingenuous. Like I'd be fine if the comic covers could be something isolated from any other event in the company but it can't. Like again with Spider-Man. I live in NYC specifically so yeah I know that's actually how schools are. But because its Marvel and because of how everything plays out it makes it hard to take anything they do seriously.

Yeah I know it's a personal issue I wish I didn't have
I sort of just think of it in the same way as if I'm reading a comic by Alan Moore and something about the super natural or psychics is in it and I just relating that to Alan Moore. Or Garth Ennis and how he makes a lot of comics that necessarily showcase how he feels about most superheroes. I don't know it just becomes hard to view these as isolated cases and more of just people pushing shit.

reminder that these will be far harder to find on shelves than they should be because marvel makes comic store owners order a ridiculous amount of the 'normal' version of the comic before they can order variants, and most stores don't want more supply than they expect to be able to actually sell

then again,
>buying floppies
>2016

Tony Starks is Ghostface, not DOOM.

Hip Hop has massive connotations with Black American Culture and the predominant participants of the genre are black.
Can you please look at the bigger picture instead of just marginalizing everything.
I'm a hip hop fan and half of me thinks these are cool and half of me doesn't. I live in NYC and half of me loves how Peter's school is shown with diversity in Spider-Man Homecoming and the other half of me doesn't.
If you're asking why? Because the entire climate of Marvel feels like it's been pandering for the pass 3 or 4 years.

Like serious question do you people think you're special and cool for knowing who MF Doom is? He's like one of the first rappers you hear about when people talk about somewhat underground rappers. I'm not throwing shots at the guy or even you necessarily. I think he's cool. But I personally can't isolate the current Marvel from everything else dude. If it makes you happy than cool. I was happy when I saw the Stankonia Falcon x Cable cover.

Nigga that shit is party music. Niggas listen to Kendrick, J Cole, Lupe, Logic mostly. There's lyrical rap and then there's hood music.

Speaking of Carol, she got stuck with Iggy Azalea.

>Not using Nightcralwer to homage The Great Adventures of Slick Rick

They had one job.

Apparently for the 20th anniversary for the album they asked the dude if he wanted to do it again. He said no.

This is what retards call EDM.

Chapter 1, page 1 of "So You Want to Suckle at the Teat of the Mouse":

"When challenged by someone who detects your obvious shilling, double down on your position. If possible, insinuate the accuser of either being a troll or even having mental problems."

"Cultural appropriation," sempai. You can never, ever escape these dumb millenial terms. Never. Ever.
