Dec 14 2008Rap Album Covers Get Minifig'd

rap-1.jpg

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.

Hit the jump for several more of my favorites, and a link to the gallery with even more.

First !!

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.

What?--No black legos?

i like how no one else even tryed

LEGOOO!!

WTF is up with these replies of people saying photoshop job etc, shadows wrong etc... is this an automated replie? because it totally sucks a LOT, and wtf about the never back down, eat crap!

Where is the spare tire?

Leo's will rule the world.................... hahahahahahahahhahahaha
I'll bet they have some way cool tattoes

Quote from Albert Einstein:
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Lego's racist.

Damn, I guess Daisy DOESN'T take weekends off. *cry* You've ruined my weekend, real Daisy!

look at me, i'm an anonymous racist!

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.

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.

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

@ 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.

Just so you all know Lego's are not white... There Yellow to represent all races so shove that in your pie hole

@17 - How is it that yellow represents all races? Shouldn't yellow represent the yellow race?

Of course yellow represents all races. When the alien races are added in. And the robots.

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.

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!

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.

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

@24

=)

@22 - Go boil your head KKK licker!

I love this CD. Lego combined with music is simply stupid effort, some real nuts working hard to get nowhere !

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.

The fact that somebody took the time to make and pose these are pretty amazing. The wyclef was my favorite.

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.

Why?

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.

they're WHITE mini-figs!!! uhh yellow?

These suck LEGO ass

The Chronic was awesome. Probably the ONLY awesome Rap, ever.

@ Daisy (#3)
shut up already. please.
you annoy the f*** out of me.

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

The only racism that drives me is against bears, mostly because Stephen Colbert says so ... goddamn bears.

Why are all the black people white?

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 :)

LOL who gives a @!%8 about the color of minifigs

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.

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.

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.
