PEN AND PIXEL: BEST ISH EVER
Remember when the whole dam rap world seemingly was f***in with these cats? There’s been a few Pen+Pixel retrospectives floating around but none of them have my colorful commentary
This one was a smash when it came out……Master P before Lil Romeo started stealing his shine…. Fuck that lil dude I liked P when he was Bout it Bout it but the last few ………
That one was a smash hit… this one was a smash shit I can smell it from here…..I think me and home girl use to smoke dust blunts together in back in the days…..she got that look in here eye’s either that or glaucoma…..Female Baller mmmmm not so much……..Female looking for a rock maybe…
How craze was this? House of Pain ain’t got shit on the funky Leprechaun…..Had a bowl of these this morning shit was horrible…..Who knew Lil Flip was an Irishman….Wonder what Everlast thinks of that?
Peep this….Pen+Pixels creepy owner designer talking about his design estethic….I love his breakdown on the subject of Gangster rap…..This cats knows his subject matter ya heard….Whites stealing black culture much? Dude got some ill slacks on he gotta be a Jew like me thats the only way he could rock those with a straight face..are slacks HipHop I wonder?
When this came out I was bummed…Dude put my baby’s mom on the cover……I’m still tight dukes….Playa G cats on that pimp shit ya heard……and to think I bought her that bathing suit….
This is my favorite one right here…….Latino/Black connection right there don’t sleep….In bizzaro world my rap name would be Pizza Bagel….Imagine us touring together…..Rap needs more politically correct duo’s……Too bad this picture looks kinda gay…. No homo
Speaking on being politically correct glad Pen+Pixel embraced the Latino and religious markets… I want to see these dudes conduct mass…..I wonder if it’s a bi lingual service? Shit would be hard fool! Talk about God Body….
And after I attend a sermon I always get a little blood thirsty ya know? This record is sooooo scary…….Anyone remember horror core? I always called it horror corn myself……Still this shit is dusted!
Wanted to give my southern cousins a little shine……There a little different down there but family is family ya know?….I’m curious am I allowed to say Wigger please?
They say people only remember the hits but me I like to remember …
The shits they’re way funnier to me…. Fila Phil’s gonna battle my man Spot-Built Steve for worst MC name ever….
I love this one….my question is if crime pays why is he in jail? Seems like a contradiction of sorts to me but what do I know….You ever peep how popular the Jason mask is in the hood? Cats line up for that costume on Halloween….. It might be the only thing black people like about Hockey….My question is this though…..
Whats more gangster the Jason Hockey mask or the traditional ski mask my homie 211 chose? Love my dude 211 ’s fronts….Them shits must smell really nice….. I have to agree hustlin does pay my bills I just think me and the homie 211 might have different definitions of the word…..
This one is classic…. Soulja Slim…dude was hard body…first rapper I ever heard of addicted to heroin….that’s gangster son….. Slow motion was also his joint kinda sorta…. I think he inspired BG to sniff Ron or some shit…..Anyways he was raw dawg real talk heard a lot of ill shit about dukes over the years
I know yall remember this one….it may have been Snoops lowest moment and Pen+Pixels high point….. Funny how that works….. Even all the chronic in the world couldn’t make Snoop on No Limit feel right to me….I wonder what senior Dogg thinks of this one now….Woof woof son…..
This was my loving tribute to one of the best/worst most truly Hiphop design firms ever… they defined a very questionable moment and movement in HipHop for better or worse and I have to respect that. Pen+Pixel was a ghetto phenomenon much like loosies, babymoms,malt liquor and Bartman shirts and thats always gonna be fresh on some level and thats the beauty of it all……
Enjoy

Dante, you’re a FOOL for this one! LOL I always thought them shits were super cheesy. A movement is a movement, though, bowel or otherwise.
