This is a more traditional RnB CD cover, matches the codes
and conventions of this genre.
We can see how Nicki Minaj has some common features with this CD cover. For example on the ‘RE-UP’ album below she is similarly wearing a chunky gold chain which is shown as bling. They are also both looking directly into the camera pulling a ‘hard’ looking face. This portrays them as fearless, strong women which related to the RnB culture. Although Nicki Minaj’s outfit is not fully shown on the image below we can see she has a low cut top on and in the image below that she appears to be naked which relates to this CD cover in which the artist ‘Lil Kim’ is dressed in a very revealing clothing. This is because RnB is strongly related to money and sexual connation’s. However Nicki Minaj also differs from this cover as she mixes her own style with popular music culture including her own right pink feminine image whereas this cover uses dark colours.
The conventions of this cover include the image of the artist (which is the most dominate part of the text) the artists name, the album name, a drop line and a warning of explicit language.
Target audience would relate to young adults who enjoy RnB style music.
