The cover of Kanye West’s album “The Life of Pablo” has been labelled one of the worst album covers in history.

Rolling Stone named Kanye West’s 2016 album The Life of Pablo the seventh worst album cover ever, so while it may have made it into the top 10, it’s not exactly a good cause.

On Friday, July 19, the list titled “The 50 Worst Album Covers of All Time” was released.

Is he attempting to elevate an ugly aesthetic to the level of art, or is he simply too preoccupied with the squirrels in his brain to give a damn? Does he genuinely think this is a captivating album cover? The publication discussed Ye and Pablo’s cover.

The response is: It’s irrelevant! Ye made genuine antisemitic remarks, so you don’t need to waste time analysing whether or not he was being “ironic.” Instead, you can just declare that, whatever his motivations, this album took a hard hit and move on.

Cappadonna’s 2021 LP Black Tarzann is one of two Hip Hop albums that made the cut, ranking just a few spots above Kanye at number 10.”The worst Photoshop atrocities of the 21st century,” according to RS.

The 2000 release Presents Chocolate Strfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water by Limp Bizkit is the “winner” at number one.

Apart from ranking among the top ten on a list of the worst-covers-ever, West has encountered several additional setbacks lately. For reportedly using uncleared samples on his 2021 album Donda, he was recently sued.

A lawsuit was filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 17, according to a report from Billboard. The lawsuit accuses Ye of copying samples from a song named “MSD PT2” for the Donda tracks “Hurricane” and “Moon” despite having been told not to.

The solicitors argue that the main reason for this was that “intellectual property owners have a right to decide how their property is exploited and need to be able to prevent shameless infringers from simply stealing,” rather than the fact that there was no price to be paid.

In an act of “blatant brazenness,” according to the lawsuit, Ye even gave credit as songwriter to the song’s four authors.

However, the business that brought the lawsuit, Artist Revenue Advocates (ARA), is the owner of the copyrights of “MSD PT2,” not the artists. After nearly three years of “unsuccessfully attempting to collect their share of the proceeds from these songs,” the four writers turned to ARA.
