A magazine cover featuring the wealthiest that just so happens to have a rapper on it is not a good pic when said rapper is dressed like a normal businessman.

Should we take a clip from an album cover or music video and use that instead?

It'd be a lot better to have a pic from a music video, or a collage of such.

I agree with having something from a music video.

Leaning toward 4.1.

I think I like 4.2 best. Laying in a pile of money captures the over-the-top spirit of this trope.

[up]4.2's my second choice for that reason.

4.2 is the overall best for me.

4.2 works, but is there a bigger crop that shows more of the money? I think that would get the point across quicker.

There are wide shots but the quality and detail will be lost.

Uh sure why not. I'll switch to a [tup] on 4.2.

I don't think 15.1 is all that bad...I'd be fine with it or 4.2.

I like 15.1 better between those two.

Good enough. 15.1's in and tagged...maybe this lyric for the caption?
