Analysis of three digipaks

As my music videos genre was 'Political Hip Hop' I have been reviewing other digipak covers of other political rappers similar to Lowkey.  

                                                                  KRS-One

KRS-One's album cover relates to my genre of political Hip Hop for numerous reasons. For example, it is produced as if it was an election poster, in a sense, in the streets which make it appeal to political rap fans. It also has the artist framed right in the center of the picture which makes him the main center of attention. Also the font used for the artists name is spaced out across the page, it also is in block writing which reflects the artists bold purposes and messages. The colour is green which immediately allows it to stand out from the rest of the cover, thus catching our attenting straight away. The title of the album cover is written in highly colloquial language and is written how the artist and audience would say it, "for da- emceez", this in turn make it more relateable to its intendend audience, Hip Hop fans, thus more appealing. 

                                                              Public Enemy

Public Enemy's ablbum cover relates to my genre of Political Hip Hop for many reasons. For example, the group members our positioned agin in the center similarly to KRS-Ones's cover, however it is a medium close-up rather than a close up as this is a groups cover. The cover is plain but the members have an sketchy effect implemented on them which makes them appear black and white. The outfits of the characters appears like they are in the military, this reflects the political aspect of their genre and allows the audience to acknowledge what kind of musicians Public Enemy are.The title is sourrounded by a wine sort of colour and it is written is large white writing at the top of the cover, similar to KRS-One's cover. The sheer name oof the group 'Public Enemy' connotes political agenda's and rulers of countries as such. This allows the audience to know they are political rappers and is clear.

                                                                    M.I.A.

M.I.A's cover relates to the genre of Political Hip Hop just like KRS-One and Public Enemy. For instance, the artist is framed towards the left of the cover and there is borders around the cover withe arabic writing, tanks, flags and airoplanes.This immediately connotes political and perhaps even stereotypical points of terrorism, war and politics, thus allowing it to straight away relate to its intended genre of Political Hip Hop. In comparison, the title is written at the bottom of the page unlike the other two covers. The title itself, 'M.I.A' reflects something polictical, like MI5, for example. It is also presented as if it has been spray painted on like graffeti.
