Jay Shells' Rap Quotes - LA Edition
Here's a real cool video I ran across. It's a guerrilla style rap quote project that I found interesting. The artist name is Jay Shells' and he is famous for posting realistic street signs that read something else. I love the guerrilla tactics.. On this edition he comes to Los Angeles with a trunk load of famous rap quotes from LA rapers. The quotes make mention of a specific address and Jay drives there and permanently installs the signs. Here's a few of the quotes he used: "So I hook a left on 2-1 & Lewis, Some brothers shooting dice so I said let's do this" - Warren G. "It's hell hot, we pull up to Dockweiler, The scene is so lovely, it make me wanna holla" - Defari. "So now I'm down Rosecrans in LA in a caravan, passing Alameda my bass meter in need of a pump" - Kendrick Lamar. "Down LA Cienega to bust a left on Venice where you can find me and mines" - Xzibit. He ended up putting up 45 of these around LA. I wonder how long they stayed up and how manny if any are still up. Enjoy!
