That's the most UN-hip hop album cover I've ever seen for a purportedly hip hop album. He obviously did this as a stunt for attention, and as a ploy to market himself as a "progressive" to a more alternative and pop crowd. Let him keep that sordid cover, if he wants, but IMO the hip hop community should avoid even acknowledging his album, if this is the type of thing he's pushing. Let the hipsters review it.
