On the magazine advert the main image is of the artist. This sells the artist which is important in the hip hop genre. It portrays the game as 'gangsta' which is what the stereotypical target audience of this music will idolise.He has lots of tattoos that are shown clearly in the image of him, this adds to his whole image.

The quote on it 'I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANY OTHER RAPPERS' portrays him as arrogant but also cool. This would sell well with the target audience.

He is the main feature on the article but there is also advertisement for similar artists. This will help to sell his music as if the audience know of these other artists they will take more interest in him.

It has the front cover of the CD which means that when people see it in the shops they will remember the advert and be more likely to buy it. It will also help to sell the music as if people go to the shops looking for the game, they will know what they are looking for.
