15 years ago view-show 3,995,442

I decided to combine some dope artwork for you to check out into one post.  First is the cover for the new D-Block album No Security set to drop on June 2.  The other covers are re-designs of the classic Wu-Tang album covers by designer Logan Walters.  The designs were done in the style of the stylish Blue Note Record’s albums. I personally like the old ODB album version better, but the rest are dope.  Here are the first seven of the total 21 he plans to re-do.

Video: Chris Rock Calls My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy the “Greatest Hip-Hop Album of All-Time”

9 years ago view-show 2,979,306

Legendary comedian Chris Rock is certainly no stranger to hip-hop. The South Carolina born, Brooklyn raised comedian has published a list on his website documenting his 25 favorite rap albums, cowrote and starred in the 1993 film CB4 which parodies gangsta rap, appeared on rap songs by Ludacris, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and Ice Cube, and in the past has even criticized contemporary rap. But perhaps Chris Rock's hip-hop pinnacle was reached in 2010 when he appeared on Kanye West's now magnum opus album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rock was asked by 'Ye to appear on the song "Blame Game," in which Rock provided an extended monologue. So maybe Rock is a little bit biased when he recently called Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as the "greatest hip-hop album of all-time" in a HOT 97 interview. Check out the full interview after the jump to see what else Chris Rock had to say.
