Rewind Effect, Spring '09

WHERE MY KILLER TAPE AT?
"Yo, Meth... where my Killer tape at??!"  This shirt was inspired by the infamous skit featured on the Wu-Tang Clan's seminal debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" (which was, in turn, inspired by John Woo's cinematic masterpiece, "The Killer" starring Chow Yun-Fat.)  This original design depicts a famous scene from "The Killer" on top of Raekwon's classic quote.



TROUBLESOME
"Let it be known, I'm troublesome..."  Love him or hate him, you can't dispute the legendary status of 2Pac's legacy.  In his later years, his off-wax persona almost garnered him as much notoriety as his passionate lyrics.  This shirt features a famous image of Pac spitting on reporters just as he emerged from court, set against a backdrop of his lyrics from one of his greatest unreleased songs.



I BELIEVE
"I believe the children are the future..."  The superstars leading the way in the rap game were once just kids with dreams too.  This collage incorporates well-known youthful images of now-legendary hip hop icons emblazoned with an inspirational quote from a classic 80's R&B tune.  (If you can't recognize 'em, you just ain't hip hop.)
