Raekwon and Gangstarr did this before, but it was for album insert/promo. Everybody grew up with a Last Supper painting somewhere around the house.

In fact some of us had this joint hung over the dinner table. :lolbron:

This one of my favorite paintings actually. I love how "Jesus" in the center has his back turned to the camera leaving his face to your own interpretation. One of the best works of African American art.

Breh, I remember me and all my cousins being rounded up by our parents and asked who we each interpreted in the painting, just as an exercise. :russ:

Man, that 80s/90s era of African American paintings was great. This one along with the Budweiser African Kings and Queens serious was EVERYWHERE in NYC back in the day.

And lol at Yvette Carnell or Tariq Nasheed being behind the camera :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol: TLR always wildin.

Oh shyt, nice bit of trivia there! You know as a kid I use to always wonder what was the set of stuff next to Jay in the photo, cus I had no clue about cigars :russ: Spent years trying to decipher some symbolism and shyt only to realize it's just a cigar cutter and ashtray.
