Over a peach-like orange, the album title is written out in three rows all going down diagonally. We got our first taste of The Life Of Pablo through the Yeezy Season 3 live stream and it was unlike any of his previous efforts. YeezyGraffiti was created as a home for all the fan made covers. The posters didn’t stay up long but the seed was planted, Kanye wanted us to make the covers. Before the album’s release, posters of the cover appeared in NYC with the words, “Please Add Graffiti.” It created a crowd reaction, the internet was flooded with personal variations. We wouldn’t know until his album campaign that the lack of a cover matched his minimalistic theme for the album. These are impeccable visual artists, to give us no cover was like McDonald's taking the Mac sauce off the Big Mac. After becoming accustomed to custom works of art by Condo, Kaws, and Murakami, West delivered an open CD case. When the album was finally released, though, Yeezus sported a blank cover. The signature red tape had “Yeezus” written on it. There was a melted gold center, an image that was assumed to be a Jesus piece after being set ablaze. The first time we saw the Yeezus cover it wasn’t blank.
