PrintYesterday, 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.

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 that Black Jim Tressell?

SISQO is standing in front of the sexiest Virgin Mary painting I have every seen!
Man, the Renaissance was kinky.
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.
... beware the anger of the legions
The painting will be on loan to the Boston Museum of Fine Art...
Sponsored by the Gillette Razor company. Reminding of you the glory of the common safety razor.
What?
They missed a ton of obvious rappers.
I vote for Kanye West in a face zippered Tiger Hoodie paired with Hieronymus Bosch – Garden of Earthly Delights

Not going to let a Year of HS Art history, and a semester in college go down the tubes…
