How much are they paying the rappers they're paying "homage" to? I bet if a rapper put out an official album with a Marvel Character, they would have lawyers at their concerts serving them legal papers. :ill:

More culture vultring from cacs.

[The Mad Titan]

[CACarot]

For those wondering

 

[CashmereThoughts]

shyt is dope to me, there's def a connection between hip hop and the comic book world

 

[prophecypro]

So where's the Illmatic cover, Marvel?

 

[Cabbage Patch]

This would have been way doper if they would have just made the rappers look like super heroes instead of replacing them

That's also something to think about.

Because it ain't that deep to Marvel.

Hell, they actually filmed a scene in the first "Ironman" movie with Ghost, but they cut it out due to the movie going too long.

And the song Jon Farveau (director of the first "Ironman") used to announce he was directing it was "Return Of The Ironman":



So I assume they have no problem with him.

Or DOOM

Not sure about this. It's possible he's under the radar enough they don't care, or maybe they just don't care like with Ghost.
