GKMC: The 40 ounce beer bottle directly represents the song "Swimming Pools" regarding Kendrick's family and friend's dependance on alcohol.

Furthermore, the prescription tablets could refer to "A.D.H.D." the bullets and crack pipe could refer to "Ronald Reagan Era" and the condoms to both "Tammy's Song" and "Keisha's Song". Section.80: The cover has weed sitting on top of the Bible which is directly portraying the song "Kush & Corinthians".These powerless young men occupying the most powerful building in the world shows conflict and juxtaposition in the form of power struggle.Įach of these album covers also have a direct representation of at least one song on the respective album. The cover presents an image of The White House, arguably the most politically powerful place on Earth, and a group of young black men from the ghetto, who would usually have no to very little political power. To p- A Butterfly: The TPAB cover exhibits conflicting imagery of power.Secondly, the relative holding young Kendrick is throwing up a g- sign which represents immorality, but it is juxtaposed by a young Kendrick who at this stage in his life is just a child who represents innocence. Firstly, the beer bottle being so close to the baby bottle, with the beer bottle being seen as impure and the baby bottle being regarded as pure and unassociated with evil. This is displayed with at least two things in this album art. GKMC: The GKMC cover shows a juxtaposition between innocence and immorality/impurity.In contrast, these things are right beside a Bible, which many people believe to be righteous, positive and sacred. The cover contains various items, including a crack pipe, bullets, condoms, drugs etc., that many people consider to be sinful and evil. Section.80: The Section.80 cover shows a juxtaposition between being sinful and being righteous.This is mainly in reference to his album covers since Section.80.Įach album cover contains conflicting imagery or some form of juxtaposition. A lot of this stuff is very obvious but I thought it would be nice to bring it up for discussion anyway. Over time I've come to notice two common themes between the album covers that you may find interesting and noteworthy. Kendrick undoubtedly has great album covers that he is known for putting a lot of time and effort into.
