Hip-Hop Pop-Ups -- Kanye Style....


Kanye's Graduation.... w/ Spam

An online mp3 player that pops up the websites of Kanye's favorite brands in real time as he raps them. Hip-hop Pop-Up is a data visualization of the product placement in Kanye's new album, Graduation, and offers a glimpse at a potential trajectory of the current state of main stream rap music. (Make sure to turn off your pop-up blocker).

Source code and how to make your own here. There is a good chance I'll be getting some C&D's soon, so download while you can.

And the verdict is in....

Ket pleads guilty and gets probation, $3,000 in fines, and has to paint a mural for the DA. More importantly, this case shows that you can't be convicted on graffiti charges based on photographic evidence. More here.

(Thanks ER for the tip)

BA Graffiti Wrap Up.....


Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

The style in Buenos Aires seems to be defined by wide and highly chiseled markers. LOKY, LASER, and CHULL were my favorites.

Going Big In Peru...

VIVA EL PERU! Sometimes it takes leaving the city to find the really interesting graffiti. Traveling around the Cuzco area in Peru we kept coming across these giant dirt tags carved into the sides of mountains. They are cheap, long lasting, and fucking huge.

Just got back from two weeks with Michele in Peru and Argentina. We took a ton of photos.... I suggest the "one second" setting.
