Hip-Hop with a touch of "W"
We're back at it one more time on the Photoshop tip and right where I left off with last week's Native Dubz post. It's summer time and I'm seriously on chill mode- that also goes for some of my projects. Since I don't have to work on high res prints for game signs, I'm taking a time out and rocking out with Photoshop CS3 and using smaller resolution files. This week I'm collecting a number of past Hip-Hop favorites and sprinkling a touch of Golden State into it...
A brief breakdown after the jump!
This is one concept I've wanted to do for a while... So many heads referenced Patrick O'Bryant to Biggie Smalls due to the name similarities (but never lived up to any hype of course!) Let's take it a step above and get this guy ready to believe! Whether or not he's gonna show up next season, it's always a pleasure to poke fun at him!
This was actually a good Idea from a friend wanting to see an EPMD throwback using a Warriors theme. I actually love EPMD's use of colors within the logo and title so I flipped it and had BD and Stack Jack hold it down. Classic material for some classic players!
With everyone talking about how much to pay Monta and BD I thought a shout out to Eric B. and Rakim's "Paid in Full" would do the trick! At the end of the day, I'm sure it's gonna happen!
A personal favorite flipped. Raekwon's "Only built for Cuban Links" featuring Al and Stephen on the cut! Thank goodness I had the font for Harriongton's name used in Rae's debut album. The concept is just too funny... yes! Al's head is on fire like his 3's when he's hot!

Tony is the man!!
hahaha had me crackin up!!! Classic records especially that Raekwon “Verbal Intercourse” track on “Only Built For Cuban Links”
The NBA, where Bipolar Warrior fans happen...
Stack Jack = Tony Starks
I need that “Harrington” album cover as a t-shirt. If Al was as aggressive on the boards and defensively as he looks playing the part of Tha Chef, the W’s would have made the playoffs.
Better album overall: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” or “Supreme Clientele?”

Excellent question
Dammmmmn! I’d have to go with “Only built 4…” don’t get me wrong, “Supreme” was ahead of its time and a a huge bright spot in the Wu’s dynasty but when Rae’s album first dropped, there were so many classics that made the summer of 95 an unforgettable one. “Apollo kids” is up there on my faves of all time too…
You pick up Rza’s Digipak album? Just dropped last tuesday and its the best and most focused Rza album outta the 4 currently out. I also picked up the new Immortal Technique and all I gotta say is… I’m pissed! The guy opened up my eyes in the real world!
I'd have to agree...
“Supreme” helped Ghost assert himself as the most prolific and successful solo member of the Clan, but in terms of changing the game, “Cuban Linx” was the most important Wu album besides “36 Chambers.” I wish Rae would finally put out the sequel to “Cuban Linx,” it’s like he’s Dr. Dre telling us he’s just about ready to drop “Detox,” only he’s been saying that for about 6 years.
Based on your critique, I am going to go get the new Rza ASAP. It’s all about Bobby D!

my fave

bwahahahahahahaha. notorius. i’m probably the only one with hope the w’s can re-sign him.
"Go ahead. Make my day."
The Harrington one is my favorite...
...maybe it’s because that Only Built for Cuban Links is one of the best albums of all time.
