I have seen a lot of rap album covers, and I notice the rappers are never smiling. Why?

I don’t understand why you don’t understand it’s just part of the image that goes with the music. No more no less. Besides not all rap artists don’t smile. Are you being selective at what you are paying attention to. What about Will Smith? A different kind of rap yes but it’s rap nonetheless

There are drugs, crime, robberies, junkies, etc. Also, thinking about these terrible things leaves a bad taste in our mouths. The thought of rap stars smiling on an album cover just doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t look right, and they probably wouldn’t make enough money.

When you think of a rapper you probably dont think of a big smiling face. It is all just a sales technique and nothing more.

That image shows they aint joking around and you best not start sh** with them. Other rappers, like Ludacris, are humor rappers, so they’ll smile to give them that humorous image
