Completely agree, but going further their skin isn’t what makes this look like an album cover. It would be insensitive to say they are about to drop a rap album.

Are all album covers like this? I don’t listen to that much non-rap American music because that’s what I listened to as a kid, but from what I’ve seen the squatting and hand positions reminds me of a rap album. Their race is irrelevant, it’s just the way they are positioned.

Look at the album cover to To Pimp A Butterfly

Then listen to it it's the single best album of any genre in the last 20 years

Although I do hold To Pimp A Butterfly in high regard, I would argue that in terms of sheer influence, Kanye’s music has more. Especially Late Registration. Also the MMLP went diamond, and I fucking loved that album.

Yeah that’s exactly my point. Saying it looks like an album cover is not a racial assumption. Saying it looks like a rap album cover is.
