this bullshit with the wings has GOT TO STOP. dilla was not a fucking angel, he was a hip hop producer who liked blunts, bitches, and was a perfectionist in the studio.

most of this art is trash - a lot of it just remixes of photos by talented photographers - but the whole hoaky, sentimental shit with "rest in beats" and halos and shit is a trend that we need to put an end to. if these art4dilla people don't do it, fuck 'em.

PS: "Giclee print" is a fancy name for a laser print if you didn't know.
