I urge everyone to READ the interview before commenting though It should also be mentioned that the latter pages of that topic are now discussing the existence of God (wtf)…

Sure, it has been done before, but to this magnatude? To have nearly 500 rappers on a poster AND a quick history lesson on the back? I mean the interview states it all too, its not like he was going for the detail that some of these other posters have, but he got the job done. This, is literally an educational tool, some of the other posters like this, really aren't. I do think Kagan was extremely original in the fact that he wanted to get so many, even the most obscure rappers on this (albeit, I just found out he missed 2 pretty important southern ones!), and to compare a lot of more "detailed" works to this isn't fair, because sure, they are more detailed, but they aren't having as many rappers on it. Do I think Kagan "Did it First?" No Do I think Kagan did THIS first? Yes.

It's truly amazing to see how far he has come since the days of drawing war scenes in 4th grade! Keep it up and keep it real! This guy is a sick artist and has been since we were kids.

Much love to K for delivering this golden piece. I didn't even "find" it, I was just the one presenting a lot of it. And don't sleep on the questions either, some great shit in there, specially regarding Eric B! word, the comments are bringing a smile to my face people.

Man, I KNEW I should be going to more of these Hip Hip Karaoke jams in the T-Dot. I'm on the Facebook group, but I always puss out in going. One day I'll get up there and rock some EPMD. Well done.

This is the greatest thing I've laid my eyes on since the Maxim with Eva Mendes. Deez stays slaying the hip hop journalism game. we can't be stopped. I've been meaning to cop this for a while, too. It'd be the 4th poster in my room with 2pac on it lol Awesome work Kagan. This is the greatest thing I’ve laid my eyes on since the Maxim with Eva Mendes.
