Hip-Hop Album Cover Quiz

Hip-hop cover art went from crew photos on a stoop to some of the most argued-over images in contemporary visual culture inside twenty years. A childhood polaroid, a customised Maybach, a tableau staged on the White House lawn. Ten rounds, one cropped detail each — and every answer links to the story of how that image was made.

Ten rounds, four choices, no timer — and every choice is also a Hip-Hop cover, so there is no giveaway option to eliminate. The pool holds 70 covers, which is enough that two games rarely look alike. Get one wrong and the full sleeve zooms back out with a link to the story behind it: who designed it, who shot it, and why it looks the way it does.
