Agent B biter?

Post by HomieDontPlayDat »

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't I recall Agent B or someone doing exactly this some years ago?

Deez Nuts is a new body of work, which began as a zine of the same name by Australian-born, Tokyo-based artist Mark Drew. Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts received a '90s hip hop makeover. For this exhibition, Drew has painted large-scale versions of the illustrations found within the zine.

not a bite exactly, but there are def strong parallels and this iteration is a bit lazy. i haven't seen all of them but it seems like he just juxtaposes a quote with a panel, the old oh word ones did a lot more than that with the idea.

here's the whole old Oh Word run, which to date remains one of the finest rap satires in history of the internet

s/o to ohword in general, this shit sparked a serious round of twitter handjobs to their legacy yesterday between myself and a few other friends familiar with their work

It bothers me that this guy can take someone elses art, make a minimal change, and call it his.

Not to mention the fact that he can sell it for money.

Peace to Oh Word, though. Too bad my Flash video got lost over there. Probably the best thing I've ever done for the baby blue.

This definitely a bite, and a really lame one. Faggot millenials.

best thing to do is contact agent b if someone is in touch with him, and then let him see what he wants to do with it.

I'm sure he has all the proof he needs to make this guy eat shit.

As the first exhibition of the year, China Heights is proud to present 'Deez Nuts';
a series of paintings on canvas accompanied by a self-produced publication by
Mark Drew.

As well as being the co-founder of China Heights, Mark Drew is an Australian
graphic artist, based in Tokyo since 2009. His works primarily reference music,
pivoting on a heavy nostalgia for 1990s rap music.
'Deez Nuts' is a new body of work, which began as a zine of the same name. For
this exhibition, Drew has painted large-scale versions of the illustrations found
within the zine. The works show Peanuts comics with lyrics from Nas, Wu-Tang
Clan, N.W.A, Gang Starr, Public Enemy and more, as dialogue. The combination
replicates the obsessions of a younger Mark Drew perfectly, as well as
encouraging a possible anima connection within the spirit of the subjects.

ha.

the reality is that shit like this isn't really worth chasing these days. the good part is that if this ever happens with my original work at my day job at IGN now, i have legal teams at my disposable. :wutang:

either way, it's nice to have internet archives and dozens of people to back me up when somebody bites my shit. years later and oh word is still one of the dopest, most original projects i've ever been part of. i'm immensely proud of that.

actually, "yo, you're the guy that made the Cam'ron rhyme book, right?" got thrown around a bunch on my first day here four years ago. good, original work gets respect forever and that's all that really matters.

i miss you guys. thanks for having my back all these years. shout out to gloss, keen, raf, thun, drizz, irina and the rest. love you fools.

Jeremy Scott is suck a hack for not even using some of the most iconic Jim Phillips Santa Cruz graphics like any of the Jason Jessee decks or the screaming hand.
