MaximumFluoride :

Thats pretty much how i have always understood it.

bdix :

"Hip-hop" is the culture (used in the wrong context in today's media). "Rap" is just one element of the hip-hop culture. BTW, great poster.

rockologist :

leia-cool story. if murs picked the image, then it doesn' get more 'authentic' than that. i gues thinking about it, it's actually very cool that it doesn't feel like what we all expect for a rap show.

ZELIG :

In light of recent events, one of the funnier things you'll see is when Chuck D tried to interview Strom Thurmond before an aide spirited ole Strommy away.

standard :

Yeah, hip-hop does not equal rap to me. It's almost an old-school/new-school distinction in my untrained eyes. Like, despite being wildly popular and more slickly produced, I think Will Smith is still a rapper. It's all in the phrasings. Brian Fellows? Well, he's hip-hop.
"..and a BABY DOG!"

perkins :

Public Enemy is the bomb, & I never considered them hip hop. I always thought hiphop was shit like TLC & Destiny's Child. Shows you how much I know...or care.

MaximumFluoride :

Of course I don't think your a racist. That story pretty much clears up the issue. If the actual artist picked the image then it definetly fits.

Leia :

The real story: This was an after-the-fact poster. MURS came to Kilby COurt last year with Atmosphere and I did a poster for that show, but this one I found out about too late. When Murs got to town, he was all, "this tour has been rough, and I was excited to get here and see my poster!" oops, no poster. he was bummed, so I told him that I'd still do one and he could pick the drawing. THIS IS WHAT HE PICKED. Murs is super cool, and I hope you all don't think I'm some sort of racist...

Grzeca :

I dont know what to label anything anymore. All I know is I made a great comp last night that alternates Wierdos tunes with a bunch of stuff including "wicked" by Ice Cube. Röks.
Like this poster Röks.
Nice batch as usual leia.
I wonder if theres a little andy warhol-like factory at leias house. I blink and there are 10 new great posters.

Dirk Fowler :

I think Leia just wanted to draw a monkey. I mean, look how cute he is! He's drinking milk.
I remember an old comic book ad trying to recruit kids to sell photo enlargements door to door. The prize was a real live monkey! I wish I had been alive in the 50's! Selling products for payment in live monkeys. I love America. I hate rap though.

2003-06-26 22:36:21

Unitus :

hip hop=rap.
tlc=pop with an r&b tip.
that's if you're gonna lable things.
besides, that monkey stole my credit card! i'm gonna kill it!

MaximumFluoride :

I think I would not put a monkey on a poster for African American rappers, but thats just me. I'm a white man I would get pegged as a racist in like 2 seconds flat.
Public Enemy are not (in my opinion) Hip Hop, they are rap. Hip Hop is more R&B influenced correct? Like, T.L.C. are Hip Hop right? like you wouldn't call NWA Hip Hop would you? P.E. are definetly legends though. One of my all time favorites. Same with NWA and Ice T. I like pretty much most "rap" music up till Dre's The Cronic. After that it seems like it got too watered down. Not all of it, but most of it anyway. Still get into the West Coast Gangsta Rap.

Platinum Rich :

brian fellows IS great. that monkey has DEVIL EYES!!!

2003-06-26 18:30:34

Platinum Rich :

i like posters that are unexpected but don't think this is great. great style, but not a great poster/advertisement.

2003-06-26 18:29:25

rockologist :

mike-that's funny! there's a german imstructor i have to deal with and he acts just like brian fellows. he looks just like him too. it's hilarious.

needles :

it's a white supremisist statement leia's in Utah hip hop= monkeys

2003-06-26 18:27:38

rockologist :

hmm. see, i really like leia's posters, and i have to say that for most bands this would work. but for a hip hop show, i just don't know. it definitely doesn't 'feel' like murs, but it's a great poster.

2003-06-26 18:26:00

Platinum Rich :

that's a ridiculous comment. murs is from a crew called "the living legends" so it was applicable.
kool g rap, big daddy kane, krs. all legends.

2003-06-26 18:07:55

DWITT :

Public Enemy are hip hop legends.
There you go, it works.

2003-06-26 18:05:04

perkins :

"Hip hop" and "legend" shouldn't be in the same sentence

2003-06-26 18:03:51

DWITT :

Brother Ali is from the Twin Cities. Hip hop as well, and he's a 250 lb. black man, who is an albino. You can't miss him.
He's real good.

2003-06-26 17:59:58

Platinum Rich :

wasn't this a possible melvins poster? seems like worlds apart. maybe he'll love it cause his music is humorous. just don't think i would've put a monkey on this poster.

2003-06-26 17:55:32

MaximumFluoride :

Doesn't feel very hip Hop.

2003-06-26 17:47:44

Platinum Rich :

that's "coast"

2003-06-26 17:45:03

Platinum Rich :
