Description
So yeah, this wouldn't necessarily be the end-all-be-all hip-hop montage I would rock personally, but these were the artists mentioned by the person I did this for. I intentionally lessened the amount of detail on the roots and Jay-Z so your eye would move inward on the entire piece, and there wouldn't be a huge struggle between the different elements.Related content

who's the guy sucking on his chain or biting his nails, next to Big Boi?
please tell me it's not that moron Paul Wall..
other than that, the piece is spot on, as most of your work usually is.. i love your Pac-BIG/West-East rendition and how Outkast is the centerpiece, though i don't understand Jay-Z and The Roots being in the middle..
top notch work, my friend..

Nah that's Scott Storch from the Roots... I'm sort of insulted that you would even think I'd put that fucking clown on anything I do, regardless if the client asks for it or not. I'd knock that dude's "GRILL" into the back of his skull.
Well, trust me, if I get the chance, I'm doing my own version with my own choices of lyricists on this. Unfortunately, I gotta do what people ask if I wanna make some scratch off it, you know?

oh hehe sorry, i'm not that much into The Roots, TBH..
and i can understand where you're coming from.. it sucks that you have to go against your feelings in your art (which is kinda counter-productive if you think about it), but hey, you gotta put food on your plate.. and you're lucky to be doing what you love to do, which is the most important thing..
either way, superb work on this.. can't wait to see your version..

Thats real cool.
I think with the right artists, it could be real dope. Drop Jay and Pac and throw in Dilla and Tip (heh heh).
Nice work fella.

Yeah man, you're preaching to the choir... That's why freelance work is a beast, you have to give the client what they want, regardless of your own opinion, you know?

wow. just...WOW!
this is easily the best hip hop themed vector piece i've seen in ages.
love the design, 'specially how you included pac and biggie here. (just went through your gallery and saw a piece with the same images of them, i think...i like this version better)
only thing as already mentioned before would be the corners, but that ain't enough to not fav this.
fantastic work!

Joey-Zero In reply to taw [2006-07-25 13:49:33 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I'm getting this printed, so that's just the extra bleed on it for when the cut the print, so those corners won't even be on there really.

Thanks dude... I personally would have had a different set of lyricists on there (which may be a project for the future...)

Thank you. I may eventually decide to re-vamp this and put my own choices of lyricists on this, who knows...

Joey-Zero In reply to phaze05 [2006-07-25 13:53:56 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I'm not either... But you know how it is, the client wants it, you put it up there, you know? Personally, Nas, Rakim, KRS, Kane or Kool G. would probably be my choice for that spot.
The boom box is actually from a font I found here... [link]
