Troubled singer Chris Brown released the cover art for his upcoming mixtape titled Boy in Detention, dropping August 5th. The cover art depicts a young, brown skinned thug with a row of gold teeth and short cropped hair. It takes a minute for it to sink in that the ‘boy’ is Brown himself. But isn’t Chris Brown light skinned?
Is this artwork an example of what psychologists refer to as a ‘freudian slip’? — an expression of his unconscious desires? Does Chris Brown really wish he was black?
From Rap-up.com:
Chris Brown shares his passions for fashion and women on the illustrated cover of his hip-hop mixtape Boy in Detention, dropping August 5. The artwork, designed by Mina Kwon, shows a hand-drawn Breezy wearing sunglasses with a skull, flames, sneakers, and a scantily-clad lady in the background.
