27. Tyler, the Creator, Igor
The imagery of Igor speaks to who Tyler, the Creator is as an artist – unpredictable and genius-ly creative. A dual image project, the Ladera Heights rapper pushes the boundaries in Hip-Hop with visuals that are more Basquiat than graffiti, more Lower East Side than SoCal, and mostly completely him over attempting to fit himself into a playlist that is not welcoming are in his artistic alignment.
One image is a seemingly underexposed self-portrait set in front of a Pepto-bispink background. The other, commissioned by Tyler, the Creator after connecting to an abstract artist on Instagram. Tyler, with this cover, stepped into the role as the Andy Warhol of rap music.
