Nicki Minaj x Kanye West: ART is the Operative Word

**UPDATE** Brought back to the top because... We now know who (at least) shot the photo for the cover for Nicki, but... Remaining is the question: Did this guy ALSO 'design' the cover itself?

As of now, both Nicki Minaj's 1st and Kanye West's 5th studio albums are set to drop November 22, 2010. (But we all know how that goes...)

No matter what, when you discuss the artists and their releases, ART is/will be the operative word. Their music (their art) is crazy; their actions (performance art?) are crazy; and their album artwork (art, duh) is, well, crazy. (And, in most cases, we mean 'crazy good'...)

Hip Hop wins.
