Cover Parade: Lil Wayne, Mike Tyson, Biggie Smalls, Lady Gaga

Lil Wayne’s cover art for his upcoming studio album, Tha Carter IV, is probably a lot more interesting than the music contained on the album. Many forget that Lil Wayne’s last album, I Am Not a Human Being, was a commercial failure. As of this month, IANHB has yet to go platinum. TCIV drops June 14.

Despite his history of psychological problems, Mike Tyson looks peaceful on the cover of Esquire magazine’s May 2011 issue.

The Notorious BIG covers the Icon edition of Fader magazine’s issue #73. The mag hits newsstands on May 3rd, but the cover feature, written by Noz, is available to read now (via Rap Radar).

Click the link to see Lady Gaga fondling herself on the cover of FHM magazine, and to see her cover art for her upcoming album, Born This Way.

    I like Gaga’s cover and Wayne’s Carter albums usually do well. IANH was more a rock album and you almost had to be a music connouiseir (sp?) to enjoy it. IONO if someone answered my question but are the pics on the Carter albums really Weezy?

    @ PSP………..That’s Wayne. He was cute until he hit about 25 and the sizurp took over his life. PPL always say he’s ugly but, if you look at him, he’s actually got big pretty eyes and is rather featureless outside of that. All the tattoos and piercings distract from that though.

    I think his daughter looks more like him than Toya.

    YSoSerious says:

    That is actually a good picture of Mike. He ain’t never been cute but still a nice pic.

    @Blu
    Here you go:

    “I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee. Spike can go straight to hell! I am sick of him saying, ‘This is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘You vote by what you see’ — as if black people don’t know what they want to see. I am sick of him. He talked about Whoopi, he talked about Oprah, he talked about me, he talked about Clint Eastwood. Spike needs to shut the hell up!”

    Well Mrs. tyler perry (no caps), you need to make better quality movies and be more like Mr. Spike Lee.

    He had us thinking and reflecting with his movies. You, just trying to get richer…


  38. 38
    bnatural says:

    I don’t know who to side with between Tyler Perry and Spike Lee. Both have very valid points.

    I would like Spike Lee to address all of these rappers who are far more influential than Tyler Perry.

    ——————–

    I knew it was a black child, I just knew it…well, some of the pictures they released show a lot of black parents picking up their kids so I assumed the youngin’ was black.

    So, his parents had him at 15…alrighty then, the dad is terrible for going on TV like that.
