Here ya go, my 1st ever pixel war...And before all of the grunge haters go ballistic, this is my first grunge attempt ever, I used it because I thought it fit best for the subject. Mos Def is my fav hip-hop musician by the way...

nm...i'll just vote already so that 40oz can get some relief
well i voted for 40 b/c it seemed more original, and the thought of people walking around with mic's for heads really intrigued me. hehe

good job tho adam, especially for first time in pixel war and first w/ grunge...

Something very traditional about his image. 40, i like yours too, it's very close

Adamtdot

if only because the mike head was a we bit small on 40's. But I really dig the originality in it. Great job the two of you, Id print em both.

It has a very original feel to it. Although the tone of the image doesn't say "Hip-Hop", the addition of Mos Def does, which made it fit. "Hip-Hop' is a very tough topic to put on "paper" in an artistic way, but I think you achieved it very well.

40Oz, though I like your image very much, it just doesn't scream "Hip-Hop". It looks more like cover-art for an 80's hair-metal band. Trust me, don't be offended by that. That was a comment.
