Analysing music magazine contents pages

Hip-hop is often used by the artist as a chance to show wealth and prosperity, the way this shows this is because they are in a controlled environment, they have designer clothes on are not lively as if they are in a live concert or have just preformed but are looking clean, bold and fresh like they have the same image on stage as they do in daily street life. These are also some of the attributes that the magazine has gone for themselves. There are no effects used on the image as the magazine will want to show the artist in his true light, hence the plain, light background. The image is not just there for no reason, as there is a page number below the image which signifies that 50 Cent is a main feature in this magazine.
