Not Stylin' On 'Em: 25 Rap Album Cover Fashion Fails
By Chris Yuscavage | Feb 8, 2011 | 10:00 am | Permalink
If you're a recording artist putting together an album cover, remember this: looks count. You need to be conscientious about your image and the outfits you select. With that in mind, we decided to take a look back at a few rappers who haven't heeded this advice in the past. We're not saying that some of these albums aren't total classics, and we're not saying that some of these artists didn't go on to get their sartorial shit together, but for one moment, during one super-weird photo shoot, stuff went super awry. From trendy looks that eventually went out of style to disturbing fashion risks that didn't pay off, to straight-up styling FAILs, these 25 MCs left us thinking just one thing: WTFYW?

Another FAIL post...how can it be considered a fashion fail when it was the attire of the times? nething from 83'-o0' (etc) is a fail then!

Good call on acknowledging #1 and #2 as running jokes.

Yo, you dont get that some of these emcees wanted to dress up ... as a troyan or roman emperor, or as a black jesus X drugged out rick james ?!? This is not the stuff they wear on the regular, but they wanted to play a role. The Fails on you once again ... also, how can you bash MP´s gameface for his outfit? Its a digitized version of his mug, and really ugly, but he has no " fashion Fail" right there ...
