#334 The Best Album of 1989, Round 2 Match #83: Madonna vs. EPMD

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: A close up of Madonna's exposed belly and crotch of her jeans. The top buttons of the jeans are unbuttoned. Madonna's hands are on top of her jeans, her thumbs tucked inside. Two long pieces of jewelry hang (presumably) from her neck, strings with various gems and baubles and rings on them. They probably have Catholic significance but I do not know what. If you want to see Madonna's face, cf. Ciccone Youth, THE WHITEY ALBUM.  Second pic: Two young Black men, dressed in identical loose-fitting grey clothing, white sneakers and white kangol hats, each sit on the hood of a car. They look at the camera. The cars are parked facing each other at an angle. Beyond them is the ocean.
