I just genuinely want to express my appreciation of this channel , I love that it combines some of my favorite hobbies / hip hop and art into a show that I love . Glad to be alive in a time like this 🤍
GKMC is literally the best album cover of all time. It is a polaroid of Kendrick as a kid sitting with his dad. There is a bottle of 40% on the table, and his dad is throwing up a gang sign. This is to show the environment he grew up in in compton. AKA «Maad city» He crosses out the eyes of everyone except himself to show that its the view from an innocent child. AKA «Good kid» therefore «good kid, m.A.A.d city. It fits perfectly with the album which also is one of the greates albums oat. How is this not a perfect cover art?
this is why i said i wish i knew more. gkmc is one of my favorite albums of all time, and like graydon said, the story definitely gives the art context.

I think the artist’s reputation really affects the score on these especially in the chat. Good kid getting constant S ratings in the chat and logics getting underrated because it’s logic
For a suggestion I would say Midnight by Set It Off. It's so aesthetic and captures the feel of the album perfectly. It also references one of the songs, Hourglass, with sand. The hands have 12 fingers, there's a digital 12:00, 'midnight' written in the back to reference the title. I think it's so beautiful and I love the little details.
When they are talking about something I know I realize they are being sarcastic but when they talk about something else, I assume everything is true but than I realize if they are being sarcastic for the stuff I know they are probably being sarcastic for other artists. Also sometimes they are serious so it’s a whole mind game and I love it
I suggested “Testing” and “Good kid, m.A.A.d city” and I am happy, that you included both the deluxe and original version of the Kendrick’s. So I got 2 A’s and a B, which is better then my grades in college.
The Braille on the work, although traditionally written by Nachum for his other pieces, is by poet Chloë Mitchell, who has worked with Rihanna as well as Kanye West. It reads: I sometimes fear that I am misunderstood. It is simply because what I want to say, what I need to say, won't be heard.
Ideas for next time: Any run the jewels album Pure Comedy - Father John Misty Twin Fantasy - Car Seat Headrest Alfredo - Freddie Gibbs Worry. - Jeff Rosenstock
I think Pixel Bath's cover matches the music pretty well. Jean Dawson has to see the world in a pretty amazingly colorful way to make music that unique and quality. A rainbow visor and that bright colorful palette literally encapsulating his head/mind makes sense to me. (Also do yourself the favor and listen to that album if you haven't)
One of my favorite album covers is Prying Eyes by Tropes. Not only is the album cover great but it really fits the beats of the music and draws attention to the EP itself.
personally I would like to see you both operate under a slight change in the rules, where an iconic album cover that we all are used to seeing isn't given heavy bias towards S. just rate the album cover like it's the first time you're seeing it and you're judging it solely for the quality of the art. at least that's my opinion, as an art person. love from baltimore
I pretty sure Igor is broken up into two parts falling in love/ learning how to recover. That is why he has the short hair in the cover. Because the wig is the first half. Almost in a book where u read the end of the story on the first page without context.
Idk if you already ranked these album covers but I would love to see - Earl Sweatshirt - Sick - SOPHIE - ooepui - Arca - all kick covers - Lil Nas X - MONTERO - Charli XCX - Charli
My favorite album covera will always be Portugal. The Man's covers. Most of their albums have Josh Gorley's art on it (the lead singer) and the flaming car from Woodstock is iconic.
damn GKMC at a B... y'all deserved to be crucified for that lmao. Kendrick as a baby, surrounded by his family, being held by his uncle while he throws a gang sign; the baby bottle next to the malt liquor. fits the themes of the album perfectly
You guys really should've added Jaden Smith's album covers SYRE, ERYS, or even CTV3 up there. All of them describe the music perfectly and some of if the most visually pleasing covers I've ever seen
loved this, only thing i didnt agree with is CTRL. def deserved S tier in my opinion. im glad i went back to watch this video, i love your guys content so much!
To confirm. I own Rihanna’s ANTi on vinyl and the cover is indeed Braille.
I was quite impressed when I first saw it myself.
so fucking jealous that shit costs a kidney nowadays

The music as well… 🔥

@@cityaintmyengland go listen to Delorean, Time Machine, and Bohemian Trapsody, then come back and tell me it’s not good.
Bladee does most of his own album art as well as edits his ig photos and some other stuff thats why it mostly looks similar :)
Yeah there's a whole lost folder of images that Bladee uses for his covers it's crazy
Words cant describe the iconicness of get rich or die tryin
i love the way they bounce off each other, i love the chemistry i love them okay thanks

Yesss another SIO fan 😭 I also think Bad Omens did so good with their recent albums art. It's so simple but just shows how fucking depressing it is.
sucks
My sense of time is trash but yall are genuinely the only channel that brings me happiness and proper lols, and you upload bangers often, ily
I can never tell when they’re being sarcastic or when they’re taking the truth
When they are talking about something I know I realize they are being sarcastic but when they talk about something else, I assume everything is true but than I realize if they are being sarcastic for the stuff I know they are probably being sarcastic for other artists. Also sometimes they are serious so it’s a whole mind game and I love it
You get used to it. When I first started watching them a lot of their jokes, Graydon's especially, went right over my head lmao
Thats what makes them so funny I honestly love it never a dull moment
Scorpions album cover looks like it should be on a cologne bottle he’d sell
I wish there was a tribe record on here because their art is always captivating to me and has a great style
I suggested “Testing” and “Good kid, m.A.A.d city” and I am happy, that you included both the deluxe and original version of the Kendrick’s. So I got 2 A’s and a B, which is better then my grades in college.
Isn't Testing just a NWA ripoff lol (the album cover)
kind of insane that they put the original good kid maad city cover at a B tho. to me it's so iconic and way better than the deluxe one.
It’s the way they go from a serious conversation to the stupidest conversation so effortlessly
i'm crying the actually did it
the rhett and link of rap
ahhahhah
My wife wants me to play cards with her or something. Sorry honey HIVEMIND posted an hour long banger.

bladee drew the exeter cover
Now I’m gonna have to get that Wicca phase shirt for my son!
Big Fish Theory is an easy S
One of my favorite album covers is Prying Eyes by Tropes. Not only is the album cover great but it really fits the beats of the music and draws attention to the EP itself.
Literally still watching the first ad, haven’t played a second yet and I already like this video. Been waiting on this
seeing the kid laroi album artwork be called a "good" example of western imitation of the anime style broke my heart that shit looks ASS
personally I would like to see you both operate under a slight change in the rules, where an iconic album cover that we all are used to seeing isn't given heavy bias towards S. just rate the album cover like it's the first time you're seeing it and you're judging it solely for the quality of the art. at least that's my opinion, as an art person. love from baltimore
You still need to do the 3001 a laced Odyssey cover. One of my favorite covers of all time
Meshuggah’s chaosphere is my favourite album art, and favourite album ever. Not rap but still super sick
Riley took down UNLOCKED from S. How? Why? We need answers
I pretty sure Igor is broken up into two parts falling in love/ learning how to recover. That is why he has the short hair in the cover. Because the wig is the first half. Almost in a book where u read the end of the story on the first page without context.

You guys are so great keep it going! You make my day better every time you drop ⚡️⚡️
fun fact: the lettering on GKMC was hand-drawn by ScHoolboy Q 🤞
Yesss this is exactly what I wanted to see!!!
The Igor cover sold me on checking out the album.
And it’s an S. Great vid.
THEY DID IT. i cant stop crying. ive been waiting for so long. i cant believe it
“Stupid little bear. Let’s get into these raps”
💀💀💀
The incredible true story cover matches the music so well Logics best album ever.
Great album but in my opinion No Pressure is his best
My favorite album covera will always be Portugal. The Man's covers. Most of their albums have Josh Gorley's art on it (the lead singer) and the flaming car from Woodstock is iconic.
Didn’t know I could like Graydon more but then I saw him wear a browns shirt. What a goat
Lemme hear a good ol “Hayden from Arizona” in the next episodes intro 🙄🙄😁
The best album cover ever is “the life of Pierre 4” - Pierre Bourne
I raise you "Daughters of Darkness" by Natural Snow Buildings
It's also the best album ever made by a long shot
damn GKMC at a B... y'all deserved to be crucified for that lmao. Kendrick as a baby, surrounded by his family, being held by his uncle while he throws a gang sign; the baby bottle next to the malt liquor. fits the themes of the album perfectly
wish i knew more when we talked about it but glad i could learn in the comments. definitely would've influenced the placement.
@@HIVEMINDTV he literally just restated what was on the album cover
I love the tier list videos so much
ISSA is from that interview he did where he says “issa knife” which became a meme, hence the meme text/font on the album. Kinda iconic imo
plz do folkore, norman f*cking rockwell and melodrama next I consider those being some of the best album covers I have ever seen
The Plants vs Zombies cover not being S tier is maybe the biggest snub in human history
Graydon referencing gummo THATS MY FAVORITE MOVIE I LOVE GRAYDON
I wanted CTV3. In the merch tier list two they said CTV3. :(
So excited to watch this I love these so much
You should’ve just put the Weezer album in its own tier
Take a shot every time Riley says “maximalistic”
Graduation 🐐
Thank yiu
You guys really should've added Jaden Smith's album covers SYRE, ERYS, or even CTV3 up there. All of them describe the music perfectly and some of if the most visually pleasing covers I've ever seen
I'm pretty sure bladee does all his own cover art
When igor was put in A instead of S i fell to my knees and started wailing
The GKMC car cover is so intimidating because I've always imagined it as a POV shot of getting in the car. Easy S to me.
you should do The Colour in Anything by James Blake for the next one, I love that cover
love to see the Olivia respect! album was amazing!
loved this, only thing i didnt agree with is CTRL. def deserved S tier in my opinion. im glad i went back to watch this video, i love your guys content so much!
waiting for riley to bring corn on the set bc he still looks like a tractor driver
this is my first hivemind video, its amazing
Idk if anybody else has said it, but I believe ScHoolboy Q did the writing on the GKMC cover
he did!
yo riley whyd u start slurring ur words right before the cdb eatables ad at 23:14?? had a little mid-show snack?
They did it. They did it.

Watching through these older ones and I just got a say, the Wicca phase tee is COLD

@@whipthecamrylikeahellcat ? Its just that sour wasnt as good as the others. I think it shouldve gone into B

The pixel bath album cover is my favorite album cover I love it so much
Rodrigo isn't an S tier imo. It's good but a bit boring and definitely isn't 'iconic'.
Definitely. And while it's thematic of the album title, I don't feel like its a particularly good representation of her music on the album
6:36 "I am not a "who," Archivist, I am a "what.'"
Can't believe kanye invented bears
Kids See Ghosts and Jefferey should have been on here, both incredible imo
nahmirs cover is actually pretty solid. If the music was good he could've made a comeback lmfao
1-800-pain's cover is like an a24 horror movie. sematary's cover is like a horror movie you find in a dvd bargain bin
Saying this again.....yall needa do the Eternal Atake album cover next time shits perfect
you guys should start making music , but each song should be in a recent popular underground/soundcloud genre .
