Anthony you compared the art on the cover to AI as a critique but I think there is zero debate to be had: This art IS AI generated. The random warping of resolution, the totally nonsensical nature of it, and the complete randomness of brush strokes totally give it away. People often look at an AI image, see that the people have the right amount of fingers and say "yep, must be legit" - but really critically thinking along the lines of "would an artist have a reason to make a mark here?" or "would an artist logically depict this in this way under any circumstance?" will always reveal AI art for the bullshit that it is. This to me looks like a hybrid between Murakami's actually artwork and stuff generated by Midjourney. We've seen an increasing number of such hybrids.
I'm trying to find a high def png to look at to confirm but yeah the 9s on that dude's shirt are basically a dead giveaway lmao. there are generative image artifacts all over this thing. I refuse to believe these are jpg artifacts.
the party never ends is actually something juice made up himself and its more of an ironic statement about drug abuse than a literal party never ending
The most insane part about the album rollout is that you just know they chose Insecure as the lead single because of the "left the heartbreak in Chicago" line. (That's where he died)
As a visual artist/illustrator: The character lacks line weight, the perspective on the face is completely off, making it look warped. The body is flat and does not hold any volume or construction behind it, making it look more like careless 12 year old doodles rather than the planned illustration work of murakami. I don't know what happened here, perhaps murakami just licensed this artwork but there is absolutely no way he dropped the ball this much. A lot of these things just come second nature if you've been doing illustration with a consistent style as murakami has. Overall it looks cheap and traced. The background is most likely Ai slop in murakami style
Ya the album art is hot garbage but the album itself i still have some hope for it being at least decent-maybe good. Juice has some really good songs that still haven't been officially released yet
@@furynvm Do you realize that “leaks” and “unreleased” are the same? I used to hate leakers until I realize how badly his label was managing his music. I don’t understand how they can hold on to an artists best work and just keep it vaulted and not show the public his full talent. That has to count as ruining his legacy
I can't find an hd png of the album art but looking at the text on his jacket, the 9s on the blue shirt near the bottom right, and a few of the faces in the crowd, they genuinely look like they were the result of ai image artificing. I'd be shocked if the text in particular was intentional from murakami, are the results of jpg artifacts, or both. I honestly think this album art might be, at the very least, ai assisted. I would really like to take a closer look at a high res png tho if anyone can find one
Album covers SHOULD be something where you can look at it, and get a general vibes check for what the project may be going for. An intro before the intro track per say This cover makes me feel like everyone who helped make the project did not want to be a part of it
bro the only reason the new songs suck is bc the label is choosing bad songs i PROMISE there are hundreds of incredible songs better than anything hes released, its just the label choosing garbage songs
@@Dennyscopnot really, Juice got hella fire songs they just choose not to drop em. I gotta mega folder with prolly 800 songs I listen to and they’re much better than the official releases
As much as I wish they change the cover, I don’t think you can hold anything against the label for using it, when it was literally Juice Wrlds wish to work with Murakami
@fantano my problem with the juice wrld management team since he passed has been the decision of what they release. The majority of the fandom hates Bibby, and we’re thrilled to hear his catalog got sold. Like you said, there are thousands of prerecorded songs in the vault. and out of that thousand, there are a couple of leaks that are really good. The problem is that Bibby had previously said that a majority of TPNE was going to be unheard “grails” that we’ve never heard, but it turns out Those are mumbly unfinished songs with piss poor production put on after the fact. Since his passing, Legends never die has mostly aged well, but Fighting demons always felt like it was cobbled together one weekend to get an album out instead of being thoughtfully constructed. As a fan, I’ve been listening to his music since 2017 when I was in a really tough mental situation, and I could relate with his early stuff and the mood of his music. But now since I’ve gotten better, it seems like the image the label wants to project of his legacy is of a rushed drugged out artist.
Ps. The fact that this album was supposed to be released almost two years ago would also imply caution and being skillfully crafted, but it’s probably just gonna be a bunch of mumbly “grails” and then rental. If anyone reading this wants to hear a good song that is the most anticipated to be on this album, look up rental
Everything about Juice and his exploitation is already sad even before getting to the heartbreaking coincidence of him dying months before he was going to leave bibby to start his own label
Idk what to think about the cover. But Im happy that we get that album cause he still has alot of unreleased bangers. Tbh I dont actaully need any new album of him. I have over 600+ unreleased songs downloaded on my phone so actually I dont need a new albumc
The problem is they’re not releasing his hard songs. We want the mainstream to realize he’s not just an emo rapper. We’re asking for songs like Carry it, iron on me, smith & Wesson etc. to release and it’s like they don’t want that
honestly? it's not really that bad. i don't really want to get into dissing the artist, but i can't really say i ever found the cover of graduation to be all that good anyway. i actually much prefer the vibe of this one over that just because of how chaotic and colourful it is.
It’s crazy how the art of Juice Wrld that Fortnite did is 100% better than the official album cover. And to be honest it should’ve been the actual cover.
Epic Games studio always tries to make their characters true to who the person is/was in life. They keep things respectful and try to make sure the guest character's style is done justice. Not every artist or studio follows that ethos, unfortunately.
hey i'm a Fantano fan and I have been for quite a while but please other people tell me that this doesn't seem unhinged and disrespectful as much I do. He basically is trashing Takashi Murakami upon seeing his usual style, the mural of many characters that we're seeing in this piece of Juice WRLD art is just about as standard you can get as far as Murakami goes. He's comparing it to things like NFTs (yes which Murakami was part of himself) and AI that had gained prominence only after Juice WRLD had died. I'm kind of shocked by this. I really hope that people can re-evaluate their view on this kind of thing and not just plaster dirty labels like NFT and AI onto a figure who had so obviously died tragically before those were the buzzwords they are now.
@@furynvm so his work should rot on a hard drive just to be hacked and sold off? it would make sense to release his BEST, then eventually let him rest. remember, he had fans that he made this music for, and he would’ve 100% wanted to release his best work
To start with this album should have been released years ago when juice passed away . Instead bibby and Juice’s management kept milking tf out of the dead guy 🤦🏿♂️ On the other hand ally lotti was selling her X tape with juice for 50$ on her OF along with selling tons of Juice’s belongings such as used undies and stuff They ruined that mans reputation enough . These lazy and disrespectful album covers are the nail on the coffin . I really cannot give less of a f if its takashi murakami or the Vincent van gogh , That cover is atrociously bad That man died from a drug overdose . The worst thing that they could do is market a reason for someone’s tragic demise !!!
The party never ends was supposed to release after LND in 2021 but it got delayed and they released fighting demons for some reason so that’s why their releasing TPNE , it makes sense, they announced it 3 years ago
that one artwork on the album's Genius party that just displays the words The Party Never Ends should've been the official cover, because this is just hot garbage
The whole thing is insulting. Juice’s actual living discography plus his initial posthumous album are actually incredibly strong - just let the man rest ffs
I know it's treading on shaky moral ground but I honestly do see the appeal of listening to the unfinished/unreleased recordings of artists who have passed away. The big difference to me is the way it is marketed. I feel like they're trying to present these posthumous albums as if they're just what the artist would've intended if they were still alive and like they're "continuing their vision" when we really have no idea why these songs were unreleased. Some of them might be pretty much done but most of them were probably left on the cutting room floor for a reason. I think if they released one big compilation and called it something like "Recordings from the Vault" or something like that and it was marketed more like a biographical piece on the artists work process rather than a commercial album I would find it much less gross.
I could maybe understand a whole box set one and done release of unreleased songs, including dates and timelines of songs recorded or something like that, as it would acknowledge these songs weren't fit for release and seeve a more archival role as well as be interesting for fans, possibly. but why you would randomly just throw some songs on an album posthumously doesnt really seem to serve a lot of purpose and could possibly even be confusing for people like me who aren't familiar with his work. I also find it funny you specifically mentioned the cover looking like nft ripoffs. When i saw the thunbnail, I actually assumed the video would be about Juice World NFTs
@@scarlmao well, that is fair that you think that, but that is not the vibe I was getting from a lot of the people in this comments section that have heard a lot more than I have, and possibly his opinion as well considering that, according to one headline in the video, he was sitting on thousands of songs. Though, of course, I wouldn't personally know.
I’m hopeful that whatever songs that are released are the last of the good bunch There are some genuinely good songs in the vault just Bibby is apparently allergic to releasing them But seriously what is that album cover
We get this because the songs we got before weren't a good representation of him all people think is that he is a sad emo rapper and do not know he can like actually rap and that he made hype songs also
it’s even wilder than that in Fortnite, he’s currently being projected into the sky like halfway through every match, just chilling there like a god/spirit/force
Juice fan here, love the fact he’s still releasing music to keep his legacy alive but the songs that are releasing is faaaaar from his best if you listen to his leaks, Fantano is spitting on this one🗣️🔥
They disrespected him by not releasing outsiders & putting together LND instead. Outsiders had a good message and was meant to release a week before he passed. But they scrapped it for legends never die . So disrespectful.
@@riot_00oofunniest part is nerd boy shit on Mac Millers music until he died. Fantano has the most brain dead fanbase on the internet. Literally just mindless sheep
As a Juice WRLD fan, the album cover is insulting, and AGATS 2 is not something I want on the album, but the pre party was absolutely fire, Juice fans want this whole party thing because that's a side of him where there is a lot of stuff unreleased and it would be pretty dumb to not release this because he is dead
He made 3k songs, “LeT hIm rEsT” has become everyone who didn’t love his music’s way of telling us “he’s dead, move on” these people are so loud yet so irrelevant when it comes to his legacy because they’re not even the ones who helped build it in the first place, real fans of his music are excited for and going to love this last album, the listening party is proof they’re focused on the quality of the music and picking his best unreleased songs
They need to make the album cover a real life picture of him in a professional way. All his album covers have been illustrations, they should make it real life portrait style
The takashi murakami cover art isn’t the greatest but the details are really cool. I think the thing it suffers from is just the composition. That’s what the other album covers have over it, just appealing compositions that do just enough. This new one has way too much going on and then the center figure with the wobbly arm just feels really meh. But I actually enjoy the camo skin pattern and really interesting color combinations going on throughout each character. He could’ve figured out a better way to present it, but whatever. It’s a mediocre album anyway, right? People are probably gonna forget about this one
@BaxsStudios No they won’t There is over 900 songs leaked and Nearly 200 songs the community knows from from snippets provided by leakers or producers. There is no need to make ai music
It really does have an AI vibe. It's almost as if Murakami fed a bunch of his art into an AI image generator and asked it to make something in his style.
The way they’re maintaining juice wrlds legacy is abysmal. Just straight sad music that his fanbase doesn’t like anymore because they grew up and aren’t in middle school/high school anymore. Cover is ass. I’m not excited at all for this album.
Really hate that the people that control Juice WRLDs music are content dropping unfinished unpolished music that Juice himself clearly didn't think was good enough to release himself just for another payday.
Damn Juice and Murakami were working on an anime art style together back in 2019 and this is one of the sketches from that Im pretty sure so if he did indeed work on it as well I dont see the issue but if that aint the case then yea the cover is dookie.
Juice WRLDs label should have learned from Bad Vibes Forever, that album was so bad, it's basically now the bench mark of what not to do to a beloved artist who passed
the cover isnt that bad, i understand the unapeal of it but its unique and contrasts the rest of his catalogs covers which is what this album is supposed to do
the contrast between mac millers and juice’s estate/label is baffling. this should really be common practice.
people would have a LOT more respect for juice as all his GOOD, high quality, and fire tracks would be put out there, idk HOW a record label could possibly have had an artist pass, with 3000 SONGS sitting in the vault and they can't make something out of it (but legends never die was done pretty well tho), like just look up 'swerve' or 'rental' or 'victorious' or 'barbarian' just to name a few

I think it's important to note that this is been very clearly advertised as his last posthumous album so hopefully we can at least get one last good hoorah from juice before the mid inevitably creeps up on us
Couldnt find one good song of this kid
@@Phrawstqt i could tell you like 1200
@@scarlmaothat's impossible. He didn't even release that many songs. And even adding in features still not even close.
@@LoopsPlshe has 1000 leaked songs. Go google it kid
@@LoopsPlshe means unreleased as well juice had over 2k unreleased songs
They really beating Ali Lotti in the competition for ruining Juices reputation
Ali Lotti never ruined Juice’s reputation, she was just disrespecting him hella after his death
Anthony you compared the art on the cover to AI as a critique but I think there is zero debate to be had: This art IS AI generated. The random warping of resolution, the totally nonsensical nature of it, and the complete randomness of brush strokes totally give it away. People often look at an AI image, see that the people have the right amount of fingers and say "yep, must be legit" - but really critically thinking along the lines of "would an artist have a reason to make a mark here?" or "would an artist logically depict this in this way under any circumstance?" will always reveal AI art for the bullshit that it is. This to me looks like a hybrid between Murakami's actually artwork and stuff generated by Midjourney. We've seen an increasing number of such hybrids.
I'm trying to find a high def png to look at to confirm but yeah the 9s on that dude's shirt are basically a dead giveaway lmao. there are generative image artifacts all over this thing. I refuse to believe these are jpg artifacts.
reading some of murakamis own words on ai and nfts i wouldnt be surprised if he leaned into it in a way that ages less than well
the party never ends is actually something juice made up himself and its more of an ironic statement about drug abuse than a literal party never ending
The most insane part about the album rollout is that you just know they chose Insecure as the lead single because of the "left the heartbreak in Chicago" line. (That's where he died)
As a visual artist/illustrator:
The character lacks line weight, the perspective on the face is completely off, making it look warped. The body is flat and does not hold any volume or construction behind it, making it look more like careless 12 year old doodles rather than the planned illustration work of murakami.
I don't know what happened here, perhaps murakami just licensed this artwork but there is absolutely no way he dropped the ball this much. A lot of these things just come second nature if you've been doing illustration with a consistent style as murakami has. Overall it looks cheap and traced.
The background is most likely Ai slop in murakami style
Makes me grateful as fuck that Mac's family/estate actually values his legacy and artistry
Ya the album art is hot garbage but the album itself i still have some hope for it being at least decent-maybe good. Juice has some really good songs that still haven't been officially released yet
Decent? Juice has literal hundreds of unreleased gems lol. His best songs are still unreleased
@@Call_Me_Rio "Unreleased" You mean leaked, something he hated? Leakers? I hated them and mfs like you promote them and speak about them positively.
@@furynvm Do you realize that “leaks” and “unreleased” are the same? I used to hate leakers until I realize how badly his label was managing his music. I don’t understand how they can hold on to an artists best work and just keep it vaulted and not show the public his full talent. That has to count as ruining his legacy
Why has nobody ever asked what kind of juice that Juice WRLD was
I always liked to think it was orange
Lean...
Grape juice has supremacy over all the juices
I can't find an hd png of the album art but looking at the text on his jacket, the 9s on the blue shirt near the bottom right, and a few of the faces in the crowd, they genuinely look like they were the result of ai image artificing. I'd be shocked if the text in particular was intentional from murakami, are the results of jpg artifacts, or both. I honestly think this album art might be, at the very least, ai assisted. I would really like to take a closer look at a high res png tho if anyone can find one
Album covers SHOULD be something where you can look at it, and get a general vibes check for what the project may be going for. An intro before the intro track per say
This cover makes me feel like everyone who helped make the project did not want to be a part of it
bro the only reason the new songs suck is bc the label is choosing bad songs i PROMISE there are hundreds of incredible songs better than anything hes released, its just the label choosing garbage songs
What a cope
@@Dennyscopnot really, Juice got hella fire songs they just choose not to drop em. I gotta mega folder with prolly 800 songs I listen to and they’re much better than the official releases
@@Dennyscopwe have 1002 songs that are leaked, and over 100 snippets, lol. I think we’d know what we’re talking about
I was trying to ignore it because it was juice last album but Mr fantano is right
That subtle placement of "Angelic 2 the Core" in the background tho
As much as I wish they change the cover, I don’t think you can hold anything against the label for using it, when it was literally Juice Wrlds wish to work with Murakami
@fantano my problem with the juice wrld management team since he passed has been the decision of what they release. The majority of the fandom hates Bibby, and we’re thrilled to hear his catalog got sold. Like you said, there are thousands of prerecorded songs in the vault. and out of that thousand, there are a couple of leaks that are really good. The problem is that Bibby had previously said that a majority of TPNE was going to be unheard “grails” that we’ve never heard, but it turns out Those are mumbly unfinished songs with piss poor production put on after the fact. Since his passing, Legends never die has mostly aged well, but Fighting demons always felt like it was cobbled together one weekend to get an album out instead of being thoughtfully constructed. As a fan, I’ve been listening to his music since 2017 when I was in a really tough mental situation, and I could relate with his early stuff and the mood of his music. But now since I’ve gotten better, it seems like the image the label wants to project of his legacy is of a rushed drugged out artist.
Ps. The fact that this album was supposed to be released almost two years ago would also imply caution and being skillfully crafted, but it’s probably just gonna be a bunch of mumbly “grails” and then rental. If anyone reading this wants to hear a good song that is the most anticipated to be on this album, look up rental
It’s what Juice wanted nerd boy 🤓 he met with Murakami weeks before he died and outlined the art for this cover. But you wouldn’t know that right?
Everything about Juice and his exploitation is already sad even before getting to the heartbreaking coincidence of him dying months before he was going to leave bibby to start his own label
You think Biddy did him like Diddy did Biggie
Idk what to think about the cover.
But Im happy that we get that album cause he still has alot of unreleased bangers.
Tbh I dont actaully need any new album of him. I have over 600+ unreleased songs downloaded on my phone so actually I dont need a new albumc
The problem is they’re not releasing his hard songs. We want the mainstream to realize he’s not just an emo rapper.
We’re asking for songs like Carry it, iron on me, smith & Wesson etc. to release and it’s like they don’t want that
honestly? it's not really that bad.
i don't really want to get into dissing the artist, but i can't really say i ever found the cover of graduation to be all that good anyway. i actually much prefer the vibe of this one over that just because of how chaotic and colourful it is.
Wow, this is certainly one of the takes of all time
it do be
It’s crazy how the art of Juice Wrld that Fortnite did is 100% better than the official album cover. And to be honest it should’ve been the actual cover.
Epic Games studio always tries to make their characters true to who the person is/was in life. They keep things respectful and try to make sure the guest character's style is done justice. Not every artist or studio follows that ethos, unfortunately.
@ yeah true
hey i'm a Fantano fan and I have been for quite a while but please other people tell me that this doesn't seem unhinged and disrespectful as much I do. He basically is trashing Takashi Murakami upon seeing his usual style, the mural of many characters that we're seeing in this piece of Juice WRLD art is just about as standard you can get as far as Murakami goes. He's comparing it to things like NFTs (yes which Murakami was part of himself) and AI that had gained prominence only after Juice WRLD had died. I'm kind of shocked by this. I really hope that people can re-evaluate their view on this kind of thing and not just plaster dirty labels like NFT and AI onto a figure who had so obviously died tragically before those were the buzzwords they are now.
Anything but letting this man rest????
he has 3k songs, that shouldn't go to waste. but they release the good stuff MAYBE 5% of the time
@@sebav-hs4nt He has literally passed.
@@furynvm so his work should rot on a hard drive just to be hacked and sold off? it would make sense to release his BEST, then eventually let him rest. remember, he had fans that he made this music for, and he would’ve 100% wanted to release his best work
@@sebav-hs4ntbro don’t argue with these people they are mindless sheep
@@furynvmjuice literally wanted all his music to be released…
THANK YOU FOR TALKIN ABOUT THIS
Great video bro
I'm glad Mac Millers music has been handled well and respectfully.
I WILL ALWAYS WANT MORE JUICE MUSIC
4:36 His face in the album cover looks like a pokemon
To start with this album should have been released years ago when juice passed away . Instead bibby and Juice’s management kept milking tf out of the dead guy 🤦🏿♂️ On the other hand ally lotti was selling her X tape with juice for 50$ on her OF along with selling tons of Juice’s belongings such as used undies and stuff
They ruined that mans reputation enough . These lazy and disrespectful album covers are the nail on the coffin . I really cannot give less of a f if its takashi murakami or the Vincent van gogh , That cover is atrociously bad
That man died from a drug overdose . The worst thing that they could do is market a reason for someone’s tragic demise !!!
I don’t get why it’s so hard to not be greedy
The party never ends was supposed to release after LND in 2021 but it got delayed and they released fighting demons for some reason so that’s why their releasing TPNE , it makes sense, they announced it 3 years ago
that one artwork on the album's Genius party that just displays the words The Party Never Ends should've been the official cover, because this is just hot garbage
The whole thing is insulting. Juice’s actual living discography plus his initial posthumous album are actually incredibly strong - just let the man rest ffs
I love juice world, 2:22 couldn't agree more tho, that said I'm still happy to be getting more music
As a die hard juice fan i cant help but be excited for this project
Nice Roland Beat Machine Snapback. I see yah !
I know it's treading on shaky moral ground but I honestly do see the appeal of listening to the unfinished/unreleased recordings of artists who have passed away.
The big difference to me is the way it is marketed. I feel like they're trying to present these posthumous albums as if they're just what the artist would've intended if they were still alive and like they're "continuing their vision" when we really have no idea why these songs were unreleased. Some of them might be pretty much done but most of them were probably left on the cutting room floor for a reason.
I think if they released one big compilation and called it something like "Recordings from the Vault" or something like that and it was marketed more like a biographical piece on the artists work process rather than a commercial album I would find it much less gross.
Cmon this cover is not worse than the pre party that is a stretch
I could maybe understand a whole box set one and done release of unreleased songs, including dates and timelines of songs recorded or something like that, as it would acknowledge these songs weren't fit for release and seeve a more archival role as well as be interesting for fans, possibly.
but why you would randomly just throw some songs on an album posthumously doesnt really seem to serve a lot of purpose and could possibly even be confusing for people like me who aren't familiar with his work.
I also find it funny you specifically mentioned the cover looking like nft ripoffs. When i saw the thunbnail, I actually assumed the video would be about Juice World NFTs
almost all of his music is fit for release.
@@scarlmao well, that is fair that you think that, but that is not the vibe I was getting from a lot of the people in this comments section that have heard a lot more than I have, and possibly his opinion as well considering that, according to one headline in the video, he was sitting on thousands of songs.
Though, of course, I wouldn't personally know.
I’m hopeful that whatever songs that are released are the last of the good bunch
There are some genuinely good songs in the vault just Bibby is apparently allergic to releasing them
But seriously what is that album cover
WHY was his legends never die album NOTAL his send off album? That would've been perfect tor his legacy
3:48 holy crap what is that, takashiiiiiiiiii made thattrtttt, my man takashiiiiiiii whatttttttttttt
We get this because the songs we got before weren't a good representation of him all people think is that he is a sad emo rapper and do not know he can like actually rap and that he made hype songs also
it’s even wilder than that in Fortnite, he’s currently being projected into the sky like halfway through every match, just chilling there like a god/spirit/force
I still can’t wait till the album in 5 days (I’m sure you can tell lol)
At this point, Juice Wrld’s ghost can’t make it to the other side like Casper. Let this man rest in peace😢
Juice fan here, love the fact he’s still releasing music to keep his legacy alive but the songs that are releasing is faaaaar from his best if you listen to his leaks, Fantano is spitting on this one🗣️🔥
They disrespected him by not releasing outsiders & putting together LND instead. Outsiders had a good message and was meant to release a week before he passed. But they scrapped it for legends never die . So disrespectful.
Juice's label has been treating his legacy like shit for a while. I wish he was getting similar treatment to Mac Miller.
Well Mac miller made good music unlike juice wrld
@mayomonkee836 Juice wrld made good music idk what ur on abt
@@riot_00oofunniest part is nerd boy shit on Mac Millers music until he died. Fantano has the most brain dead fanbase on the internet. Literally just mindless sheep
This reminds of the song "bury me in analog."
Man I hope they actually put sum bangers on this album like Carry It and Smith&Wessin
melon you’re glowing today ❤️
Am I the only one who thinks the cover art for AGATS2 is a bit distasteful? With the car crashing from goodbye good riddance?
Juice WRLD as depicted on this album looks like a Pokemon design from 2032.
The label is making his career somehow more dead than he is right now, this is genuinely very sad...
As a Juice WRLD fan, the album cover is insulting, and AGATS 2 is not something I want on the album, but the pre party was absolutely fire, Juice fans want this whole party thing because that's a side of him where there is a lot of stuff unreleased and it would be pretty dumb to not release this because he is dead
He made 3k songs, “LeT hIm rEsT” has become everyone who didn’t love his music’s way of telling us “he’s dead, move on” these people are so loud yet so irrelevant when it comes to his legacy because they’re not even the ones who helped build it in the first place, real fans of his music are excited for and going to love this last album, the listening party is proof they’re focused on the quality of the music and picking his best unreleased songs
They need to make the album cover a real life picture of him in a professional way. All his album covers have been illustrations, they should make it real life portrait style
It would be funny if juice signed off on this before he died
The takashi murakami cover art isn’t the greatest but the details are really cool. I think the thing it suffers from is just the composition. That’s what the other album covers have over it, just appealing compositions that do just enough. This new one has way too much going on and then the center figure with the wobbly arm just feels really meh. But I actually enjoy the camo skin pattern and really interesting color combinations going on throughout each character. He could’ve figured out a better way to present it, but whatever. It’s a mediocre album anyway, right? People are probably gonna forget about this one
They will 100% make ai music under juice worlds name and say they found it on a stick or smth
@BaxsStudios
No they won’t
There is over 900 songs leaked and
Nearly 200 songs the community knows from from snippets provided by leakers or producers.
There is no need to make ai music
@@enrico3392shit I’ve got a 2,000 song file on audiomack from like 2018 I used to be addicted to juice man.
I looked up 'Murakami NFTs' and now Im sad
It really does have an AI vibe. It's almost as if Murakami fed a bunch of his art into an AI image generator and asked it to make something in his style.
The fact that my man also made KSG and Graduation cover is baffling. wtf happened.
Half yapping half spitting
There is good music in the vault but Bibby is a lobotomite who’s destined for the fiery pits.
You would think they would send his final off with something beautiful, at least change the cover set to something other than what we got.
The way they’re maintaining juice wrlds legacy is abysmal. Just straight sad music that his fanbase doesn’t like anymore because they grew up and aren’t in middle school/high school anymore. Cover is ass. I’m not excited at all for this album.
We still like his sad music, but we’d rather his hype songs release. TPNE looks like it’s gonna be like DRFL and have sad, hype, and love songs
Really hate that the people that control Juice WRLDs music are content dropping unfinished unpolished music that Juice himself clearly didn't think was good enough to release himself just for another payday.
juice wanted all of his music to drop and the majority of it is finished
i don't think the album cover is bad. it has some cool ideas.
i think it just needs a bit more polishing and a few changes
I heard elvis is about to drop a new album
Damn Juice and Murakami were working on an anime art style together back in 2019 and this is one of the sketches from that Im pretty sure so if he did indeed work on it as well I dont see the issue but if that aint the case then yea the cover is dookie.
The fact the cover actually has what looks like ai artifacts is crazy
Juice WRLD is kidz bop for gen z
Juice WRLDs label should have learned from Bad Vibes Forever, that album was so bad, it's basically now the bench mark of what not to do to a beloved artist who passed
It’s also gross to make him a Fortnite skin
Right ? I have been telling this for so long . People are using the dead guy for money and clout
the cover isnt that bad, i understand the unapeal of it but its unique and contrasts the rest of his catalogs covers which is what this album is supposed to do
Fantano looks like Anthrax's "Not Man" with that hat and moustache. 👍
I love all these cash grabs off of dead artists.
Before people were worried about the songs on the album but now people only care about the album cover 😂
