Top 100 Worst Album Covers

I’m trying to select albums across genres, but gangsta rap is just so predominately misogynistic, it’s hard to not just fill the list with those albums. Trying to only put the worst or most well known offenders.

Trying not to put more than 1 for an artist. Wasn’t sure whether to use ICE T’s “Rhyme Pays” (where her crotch is in his face) or “Power” w/ an equally scantily clad woman holding a gun/rife?.

I figured “Power” might be the better once since it references his power (and his pimp past) of sexually objectifying women. It also features a gun/rife? encouraging the violent aspects oif gangsta rap. It also seems to be glorifying the idea that the only way African American males can attain power is through the “gangsta” life.

Both contain equally offensive songs, though I think Rhyme Pays wins for “Somebody Gotta Do It: (Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy)”. Somehow I think exploiting women’s bodies for profit is probably a whole heck of a lot easier than being the prostitute!

(I feel the same disgust/anger about the ’it’s a hard life being a pimp’ song from Hustle & Flow).
