Mac Miller
Malcolm James McCormick (born January 19, 1992) best known by his stage name Mac Miller, is an American rapper from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Most rappers have a stage name and this is fairly common in the genre.
This is one of Mac millers album cover for his mixtape. At which shows immediately the hip hop genre is easily identified by his clothes that he is wearing aswell as the font at which shows different colours. This album cover shoes that he is the central figure with others around him as he is the main artist. His name in the left hand colour also advertises himself and the font of this shows us that the genre is hip hop.
This is his website at which is immediately advertising his latest tour on the right shown above, his iTunes account at which will have all of his music at which can be purchased, this already trying to advertise his particular brand. His latest music album GOOD AM is being advertised on the left and this was the first thing which appeared on his what I feel is a dull website with a poor plain background. This website does not fully show the genre of hip hop, there is not a lot on his website at which thoroughly describes himself as an artist it is mainly trying to see his music and tour tickets to his audience as the website is not attractive to a regular viewer like me.
This Photo is a stereotypical hip hop person at which is smoking and the black and white background suggest that he is quite chavy in the sense of his baseball cap. Lots of Rappers have a stereotypical image at which he is meeting with the cigarette and his baseball cap.
This music video Donald Trump has a variety of different costumes at which all fit the hip hop genre and the look at which we want to pull off with Connor. The variety of clothing in this video is a huge change with a continuous change in costumes. This music video is mainly performance based at which rappers are well known for singing straight to the camera. This is a split screen effect which I feel is extremely useful and effect as it is something different for the audience to view at which I feel is a clever effect which we could use in our music video.
Chris Webby
Christian Webster (born October 13, 1988), better known by his stage name Chris Webby, is an American rapper from Norwalk, Connecticut. Similar to mac miller he also has a stage name.
This website like mac miller's advertises his latest music and the release date. His merchandise is also on screen and this is the typical rapper look such as the baseball cap. His various websites which he uses are identified on the front page such as his Instagram, Facebook and twitter accounts there are links to his pages. This appeals straight to his audience as his fans will then be able to access more from different accounts. The background on the website shows his style and that he is a single performer. I personally like this website as it gets straight to the point at which is advertising his latest music and also his is appealing to his target audience through the use of social media.
This Photo is a stereotypical hip hop person at which he has a absract style top. The black and white background suggest that he has the hip hop look this is further shown with the use of his baseball cap. Lots of Rappers have a stereotypical image at which he is meeting with his clothing such as his top and his baseball cap.
Asher Roth
Asher Paul Roth (born August 11, 1985), is an American hip hop recording artist from Morrisville, Pennsylvania. However he is slightly different to some other artists in the genre beacuase he does not have a stage name.
This is one of Chris Webby's album cover. This cover shows immediately the hip hop genre is easily identified by his clothes that he is wearing such as the baseball cap the sunglasses. His variety of tattoos also gives him this impression of a rapper. The back ground highlights his name and the album itself multiple times. He is in the centre of the album at which identify he is the main importance. The lead singer in most music videos are normally in the centre of the album cover.

This is one of Asher Roth's album covers at which is a cartoon drawing. This i feel is quite effective as it is slightly different to what album covers normally are and they are rather different to other hip hop artists album cover. However there is still a hip hop feel despite the lab coats at which are there because of the drugs aspect at which there is a bong and weed is symbolised in this music video which again relates to the hip hop genre with people such as Snopp dog and Wiz Khalifa being well known for this, Asher Roth himself is the centre of the shot at which shows he is the lead singer.
This photo of Asher roth again shows a style of clothing at which is not formal nor smart it is a causal look. The setting of this photo shows that he is in a dark run down place, this is similar to the genre as hip hop is socialised with a poor poverty area.
Yelawolf
Michael Wayne Atha (born December 30, 1979), better known as Yelawolf, is an American hip hop recording artist from Gadsden, Alabama. Similar to the genre he does have a stage name similar to Chris Webby and mac miller.
This is one of Yelawolf's album covers. The first thing which shows me about the genre is the parental advisory sign in the right hand corner. This sign suggests that there is a variety of bad language in the songs contents. In rap songs there a usually a variety of bad language as this is what appeals to its target audience. However in our song there is not bad language so therefore we would not use this sign on our single cover. His name is at the top of the album cover at which he is adveritsing himself. This is highlighted by him being the centre of attention at which is ver similar to other album covers in the music industry.
This is his website page at which again like all the other websites shown above advertises his latest music. Similar to mac miller he has also made his link to his iTunes page at which is a good source of income and attracts his audience to buy his music. The wolf image flows with his stage name and goes well with the background. Again his name is in the same font as his album cover and this is a good syngery as we feel as though our font will be the same along our album cover and website aswell.
This is a photo of Yelawolf at which shows he has a unique style at which rappers all look to have individually. He is smoking in this photo at which in most photos above is quite common in the hip hop industry.
