Dope, but looks more like a mixtape cover. I'm a fan of his music but I was never a fan of his cover art. Except Raw was a dope, abstract cover. That was dope.

This looked like shit in the BTS video, but it looks fuckin' dope up close.

I feel like I'm getting a tan from this cover. SO ORANGE!

Seriously? I thought they looked very similar lol.


Yes. I don't have a source, but I clearly remember the guy who posted on Hop's wall saying "Hey Hop I can design the cover for Knock Madness,check my pictures, I'm the one who made Bob's cover album" and Hop answered they had a little chat, and then Hop told him to get at him and they fixed a date for a photoshot.

100% sure and you can definitely see the similarity.

It seems kind of egotistical to me to display yourself so prominently on a cover, but I suppose he's a very personal artist, so maybe that's his motivation.

Plus, he probably wants to capitalize on the image he made for himself. He does catch the eye.

Pretty amateur to be honest.

The idea of the cover is alright... ish, but I think he should of thought of something better and more fitting. But the execution isn't great, especially that writing...

The writing design itself is lacking / off but in particular the colours as, the writing is of the same colours as the flames so there's no contrast, and it's too overlapping. Basic design flaws.

Agree with myse... I mean 'AbramIsaac' too btw.

(PS. somebody above said the guy who designed B.o.B's cover made this? Hopsin showed himself working on this cover in his video of himself in his basement not long ago?)

This, completely.

Regardless, at least it isn't the Raw cover lmfao.
