These covers are punishing my stomach right now (it comes with a comic book?) , but I will say the art direction is cool. It's just a lil goofy.
an excerpt from the article;
On T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip-Hop
“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any name, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”
One thing i do respect about Em is that he is still a fan of the genre, and his comments reflect that. he isnt a bleeding heart "sky is falling" type fan.
The issue hits stands on May 5th
