2 Artists from chosen genre w/ 'Star Image'

The first artist from my chosen Hip-hop/Rap genre is Dr.Dre. Dr.Dre is very famous in this genre for his old school rap music especially with rapper Snoop Dogg. 'Nuthin but a G Thang' and 'Let Me Ride' are just a few of his successful singles that have captured his true laid-back, cool and ''gangster'' approach. It would be particularly unusual to see Dr.Dre with a wide smile and his hands in the air as that is not the image that Dr.Dre gives us of him. He comes across , like most rap artists, as very serious and concentrated in his work which is possibly why the cover features him playing chess which is a typical game that consists of seriousness. The items of clothing he is wearing being all-black also give the impression that he is not someone to be messed with especially when it comes to his music. As mentioned in my previous post, the typical red, black and white colour scheme is used again as they are colours that aren't seen as eccentric or ''over the top'' therefore enhancing the serious image of Dr.Dre that they're trying to get across.

The second artist that I've chosen is 'Ice-Cube'.
 Ice-Cube, like Dr.Dre, has been in this music industry for a very long time. Ice-Cube has been very successful in this genre especially with his well-known hit 'Today was a Good Day'. He also has a very serious image and 'hard' exterior as they is no sign of a faint smile which could hint vulnerability, instead, he has a very stern, cold stare. The attire he is wearing shows where he's from and also the street fashion. The silver chain connotes wealth and money but with the plain outfit it shows that he still sticks to his roots. He's not wearing a posh tuxedo to impress the audience, he is sticking to what he knows and likes best ,and as the audience, we can identify this. The font of 'Ice Cube' is also made to be a pun.
