Description
Like I said in the sketch, inspired by the track "You Ain't Fly" by the Roots... This is my interpretation of the "Soul Sister on the streets of five-two".I wanted to give that feel of when a woman walks past, that wiff of perfume you get and all that, you know? Just to add to the fact that she cold dissed my man ? like that.
Other classic hip-hop joints touching on the same subject in some way (women, heartbreak, fucked up relationships and such):
Passin' me by-The Pharcyde (my absolute favorite)
Ex Girl to the Next Girl-Gangstarr
Whatever you Say-Little Brother
The Yo Yo-Little Brother
Why-Organized Konfusion
Wildflower-Ghostface
Ms. Fat Booty-Mos Def
Da Bichez-Jeru the Damaja
I got a man-Positive K
Fancy Clown-Madvillain
That's just a few I can think of... I can go on for days.

*Love* it. Great linework, and the bg with its masking/textures is fantastic. Gives off an awesome vibe. I'm sick of seeing pieces where someone just has "Here is the person. There is no background. There is no feeling." Your piece is SO the opposite of that! Awesome!!!
Also love the fact that along with a sweet illustration, I get a sweet track listing
Thanks for sharing!!

Love it! Sassy. I love her jewelry too. I must admit I sport the crazy door knocker earrings. The only way to go

Nice. Those earrings rule... Do they strain the lobes?

Hell yeah they do. It's not attractive when you have to brush the dried blood off your ear lobes.
