OFF TOPIC: RAPPERS AND GREAT WORKS OF ART

Yesterday, P. Diddy posted this mesmerizing picture. You didn't think the Mona Lisa could be improved? YOU WERE WRONG:

The internet beheld the potential here. Great works of art, while still great, can't level up into the Prestige 70+ online without some assistance. Thus, the call went out, and lo, the collective responded. Compiled here, we present the only way one can improve the great artworks of Western Civilization: depicting them as viewed by the elite rappers of our time.

These all have a high degree of brilliance but I’m partial to the Straight of Conclave one, myself.

T-Pain and the Impressionist

gets it done for me. But then I’ve always been partial to the Impressionists.

The Photoshop/MS Paint work is great

But the number of “elite rappers of our time” is pretty low.

Also, I can’t find the Photoshop work in the last one.

Is it sad that I had to look at the labels to find SISQO, but knew that he’s standing in front of Boticelli’s The Birth of Venus without looking it up?

No....

…it just makes you very, very white. How white? Jim Tressell and Frank Broyles are downright ethnic in comparison.

But, but…I listen to Louis Armstrong! I can’t be that white!

The Oath of the Horatii

Probably has the most compelling back story (brothers taking an oath to their father to fight their crying sisters’ husbands) and is just visually awesome… Kinda like the Bowdens taking a pledge to Bobby to fend off unemployment… (ok maybe a stretch, but i think it works)

Probably a good thing...

that we didn’t see 2 Live Crew and Courbet’s L’Origine du Monde. Gotta keep it R rated around here.

What?

They missed a ton of obvious rappers.

With Apologies To Randy Edsall, The Big East Remains Mostly Harmless

Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
