Dec 14 2008Rap Album Covers Get Minifig'd

Let's face it, rap and LEGO go together like heavy metal and Lincoln Logs: they were freaking made for each other. So it comes as no surprise that somebody went and remade a bunch of album covers with LEGO minifigs. Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I drunk on a Sunday night? The answer to these questions and more after I puke in the hallway!
UPDATE: Probably not, probably, yes, reddish-orange, eleven.

Pointless.

FAKE!!!!
Thats a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene from the movie Never Back Down where Max ate a bunch of bacon flavored ice cream, and some Del Tacos before he went to sleep, and he dreamed that all rap music was done by lego men.

Lego's racist.

Damn, I guess Daisy DOESN'T take weekends off. *cry* You've ruined my weekend, real Daisy!
12. joey joejoe - December 14, 2008 7:54 PM
look at me, i'm an anonymous racist!
13. Joust - December 14, 2008 8:06 PM
FAKE!!!!
That's a complete PhotoShop job. You can tell it's a fake because all the shadows are wrong.
This looks just like the scene in the movie "In Hell" where Van Damme takes a diarrhea dump that didn't quite look like the others he had previously taken.
14. Trevor - December 14, 2008 8:28 PM
i am really disgusted that this site allows all the racist bullshit to stay online, TAKE IT DOWN ITS OFFENSIVE AND WRONG, its not free speach its repulsive hate mongering.
15. reffear - December 14, 2008 8:54 PM
Don´t worry 14,
12 is provably just frustrated because he is a loser and once he wanted to be a rapper.
Don´t blame the website for the readers stupidity
16. Codie - December 14, 2008 9:39 PM
@ 14 ... That is why I try to stay away from comments. Most of the people who comment are nut jobs. The engines running, but no ones behind the wheel. Like Daisy. And the RACIST. They have to TRY and feel important somehow.
17. Bakamaroon - December 14, 2008 10:30 PM
Just so you all know Lego's are not white... There Yellow to represent all races so shove that in your pie hole
18. Douchie Mc Bagman - December 14, 2008 10:44 PM
@17 - How is it that yellow represents all races? Shouldn't yellow represent the yellow race?
19. Oregoneagle - December 14, 2008 10:47 PM
Of course yellow represents all races. When the alien races are added in. And the robots.
20. Neurologist - December 14, 2008 11:40 PM
Oh come on. There are so black minifigs. I remember they used to make sets of real life basketball teams. But to be fair, the white guys weren't yellow.
21. big brown - December 14, 2008 11:49 PM
if they made black lego mini figs they would have to make the eyes and mouth white to be able to see their faces, and that would look just plain creepy

Who wants to join the Klan? Initiation includes an elephant walk!
23. yokas - December 15, 2008 1:55 AM
man, do you really think this kid was being racist as he played with his legos and was listening and smoking the chronic?? and as far as legos go, i dont know if they are racist, but they defnetly are yellow.
24. Gizmoduck - December 15, 2008 2:20 AM
ATTENTION EVERYONE...
listen, I wanna be the very best
Like noone ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
now shut the f*** up and enjoy the ride
love GW

@22 - Go boil your head KKK licker!
27. Motorcycle Jackets - December 15, 2008 5:29 AM
I love this CD. Lego combined with music is simply stupid effort, some real nuts working hard to get nowhere !
28. Spam Artist - December 15, 2008 5:43 AM
Fake!
This is clearly a fake. The shadows are all wrong.
It is clearly taken from the scene in the film Tender Vampire where dracula's wife straddles one of the overdubbed french make up artist's after sticking a knife into his leg.
29. Benjamin Tudino - December 15, 2008 8:21 AM
@16 - Do you like Daisy, or are you commanding others to like her? Is it really so hard to stay away from the comments? If you really stay away we will promise to make believe we miss you.
30. Guy - December 15, 2008 9:26 AM
These aren't that good to be honest. There are way better things made from lego out there, besides copying and pasting some photos of lego men onto a CD cover.
31. Mr. Krinkle - December 15, 2008 9:27 AM
I think I like the Run-DMC cover the best. Wait, I mean, they are racist! How dare they have ambigious yellow figures representing black men! Completely racist.
32. Guy - December 15, 2008 9:30 AM
I'd like to add that LEGO decided to make all non-licensed legomen yellow so they don't have races or politics. That's why they don't make church sets and such. Thankyou.
33. Tony Huynh - December 15, 2008 9:58 AM
The fact that somebody took the time to make and pose these are pretty amazing. The wyclef was my favorite.
34. Magaciappi - December 15, 2008 10:35 AM
I think there's no need to warm up for such things.
The sentence from Daisy ( "Fake! That's a complete Photoshop job..." etc.) is just a joke, Daisy put it in every comment and it's an ironic comment.
LEGOs are yellow: not white, not black. Yes, probably they represented white people because their origin is Denmark, more than 50 years ago, from the inventor Ole Kirk Christiansen. So what's the problem? Traditional African stories don't mention white characters, should I feel offended? Should Africans add some white men to make white people happy, or should Lego add some dark orange Lego to make black people happy? I think these are stupid thoughts. Racism will continue for a long time if people don't relax.
35. Amador - December 15, 2008 10:47 AM
Why?
36. Poison - December 15, 2008 10:55 AM
Way to pull the race card...
But on a lighter note I found the "race" argument funny because 1- I am Asian (least half) and I constantly get called "yellow" (But clearly the lego men aren't Asian, hell look how round eyed they are, I bet the can see when they smile). And 2- my friend's birth certificate says "Race - Yellow" Seriously, that's what her birth certificate says.
That is all. Have a Racist Day.
37. Elmo - December 15, 2008 1:21 PM
they're WHITE mini-figs!!! uhh yellow?
38. Thumperchica - December 15, 2008 2:29 PM
These suck LEGO ass
39. SlowMonkey - December 15, 2008 7:08 PM
The Chronic was awesome. Probably the ONLY awesome Rap, ever.
40. Ben - December 15, 2008 8:43 PM
@ Daisy (#3)
shut up already. please.
you annoy the f*** out of me.
41. Trevor - December 15, 2008 9:14 PM
the comment that made me post about racism is no longer up, just so everyone knows, i didnt go on a rasicm rant because of yellow lego
42. His Majesty - December 21, 2008 6:17 PM
The only racism that drives me is against bears, mostly because Stephen Colbert says so ... goddamn bears.
43. guate6 - December 22, 2008 5:42 PM
Why are all the black people white?
44. guate6 - December 22, 2008 5:50 PM
And by "white" I mean "yellow" of course
Reading all these comments, interesting thoughts pop into my mind:
>white, black, yellow, (other) colored minifigs exist
>there is no such thing as "race," but only "race" as a concept
>interesting the creator(s) took the time to put in minifigs but didn't care or bother to change the minifig color (unless they're making a statement)
>people are idiots (a lot of commenters, mainly due to ignorance).
Have a happy Christmas everyone :)
45. Michael Morrison - December 23, 2008 10:43 PM
LOL who gives a @!%8 about the color of minifigs
46. )TAlk( - December 24, 2008 1:26 PM
Sorry But only idiots are going to be concerned with the color of the legos. I'm black and don't find this the least bit offensive.
47. vault - January 4, 2009 11:26 AM
can the admin or moderator here please ban daisy? im getting tired of this persons "photoshopped comments spam posted in every article on this site.
48. Melodizzle - January 6, 2009 1:47 PM
this is without a doubt the greatest thing i have ever seen. i apparently respect the rap community better...or wait...no, just kidding. I respect the LEGOs.
