Growing up, two of my favorite things were Lego and hip hop music. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to play with Lego anymore; however, hip hop still reigns supreme in my life so I was thrilled to see that after the buzz created by the recreation of some Beatles and other classic rock albums, rap now gets its chance.
You don’t have to be a Lego or even rap music fan to appreciate the spot on recreation of albums covers, from hip hop heavyweights including the likes of Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Nas, Wyclef, Outkast and the Old Dirty Bastard (may he rest in peace).
