Why presentation is important:

[roaches]

I'm glad Common's taking the mixtape route. It's a good way of getting your name out on the streets, let the block feel you. But for real, if you were at the barbershop and Ray From Around the Way Who's Got The Next Shit and If He Don't Hell Get it In Less Than a Day offered you 3 mixtapes for $10 and one of them was this:

Would you buy it?

 

[ShadowSoulja]

i would cop that

 

[Exodus]

i'd buy that

 

[Lok]

I refuse buying mixtapes. What kinda of mixtape is this? jacking for beats or an original production? If it's original I can see my self copping it, especially with the dope cover lol.

 

[one mc on dj]

Yeah I would...Cuz it definitely catches my attention and uhh with common's album comping up and all the props it has gotten I would check this mixtape out...

 

[Bigg Limn]

You guys aren't looking at it from the right perspective. I think what he's saying is [if you didn't know who Common was] from the look of the cover (not the professionalism in it, just the artwork and whatnot) would you buy the mixtape?

 

[roaches]

I'll be honest. I wouldn't buy that fruity-looking shit. Straight to Tony Yayo and Saigon for me.

 

[Silleone]

no, it looks gay.

 

[EDouble]

exactly it looks gay lmao. even at first i thought he was holdin a mop

 

[one mc on dj]

Man I figured it had to do with kanye cuz he is all representin god and jesus and shit...

So i didn't even think it look gay actually I still don't think it's gay..

Probably, based on the fact Kanye's involved (even if I didn't know who Common is). Coverart doesn't matter to me much, it's always a plus if it has good coverart presentation, but even if it doesn't, doesn't really matter that much to me.

 

[Quasimodo]

if i didn't know who common was.. i wouldn't buy that shit, lol, no way in hell. but knowin who common is and what he's about, you're damn right i'll buy it.

Who actually looks at the front of the cover for over a second, not sure if it is only me but usually i turn right to the tracklisting.

That's usually what I do too. But, like I said, I guess it's a plus if it has neat coverart? *shrug*

For Sure that cover is nice.
