Street Talkin'

Portion used

The front cover of the single, this is to signify the name of the song, the artist names, and to distinguish it from other hip hop singles of the era to have similar cover designs

Low resolution?

The resolution is not perfect, but it is acceptable as it is difficult to find a high resolution picture of a single that was not so popular and is before the 2000's when images on the internet started getting higher resolutions

Purpose of use

It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.

Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.

Replaceable?

As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. As with many song covers, it is not replaceable by free content, anything else using this image would be copyrighting, and anything not true to the original would be offsetting for identifying and commentating.
