Kid Cudi is playing Basquiat, and Basquiat was already hip-hop long before the art world crowned him. 👑

Cudi announced Oct 21 that he`ll write, direct and star in "Jean," filming in 2027.

The receipts:
Basquiat produced "Beat Bop" in 1983, a ten-minute battle between Rammellzee and a 15-year-old K-Rob. He pressed about 500 copies on his own Tartown label with his own cover art. Now it`s one of the most valuable rap records ever made.

In Blondie`s "Rapture" video, he`s the DJ. Grandmaster Flash didn`t show, so Jean stepped in.

Who else should play an 80s New York icon? Drop it below.

Two kids from Queens made the whole record themselves. Every credit on A Wolf in Sheep`s Clothing reads McLean and Titus. 🐑🐺

Black Sheep dropped their debut on Mercury on October 22, 1991. The Native Tongues cousins who cursed at the dinner table.

🎷 "The Choice Is Yours" rides Johnny Hammond Smith`s "Big Sur Suite."
💿 Gold by April 1992. "Strobelite Honey" hit No. 1 on the dance club chart.

35 years later, you can still get with this, or you can get with that. Full story at the link in bio.

Before NxWorries dropped a single album, Knxwledge already had a production credit on To Pimp a Butterfly. Yes Lawd! is 10 🔥

October 21, 2016. Stones Throw drops Yes Lawd!: Anderson .Paak on the mic, Knxwledge on every single beat. 🥁

19 tracks of two-minute grooves and loops that end right when you`re locked in. That`s the Stones Throw blueprint, same lineage as Madvillainy and Donuts. 📼

Eight years later, Why Lawd? won a Grammy. Full story in the link in bio 👆

The Doggystyle cover wasn`t drawn by a label art department. It was drawn by Snoop`s own cousin. 🐾

Snoop Dogg turned 55 on October 20. His mom called him "Snoopy" after the Peanuts beagle, and the name outlived every alias. 🎂

📼 It started with a 213 tape Warren G handed to Dr. Dre.

🎤 "Lodi Dodi" is credited to Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick. A 1985 Harlem record, redone in a Long Beach drawl.

🏆 Doggystyle debuted at No. 1 in 1993 with 806,000+ first-week copies.

🎨 That doghouse cover? Darryl "Joe Cool" Daniel, his cousin. Family art.

Two rap debuts dropped the same Tuesday in 1999. Both built on Godzilla. One became a blueprint. The other got sued by Toho 🦖

👹 MF DOOM`s Operation: Doomsday, on Bobbito`s Fondle `Em. Self-produced, Sade`s "Kiss of Life" looped, credits full of Monsta Island Czars: Rodan, Megalon, King Ghidra.

🎤 Pharoahe Monch`s Internal Affairs gave us "Simon Says," built on Akira Ifukube`s Godzilla theme. Toho sued in 2001. Out of print until 2019.

Same monster. Opposite fates.

Hip-hop samples the records. It samples the covers too. 🎨

Three classics that flipped an older image:

Redman, Dare Iz a Darkside (1994). Reggie buried up to his neck is a nod to Funkadelic`s Maggot Brain (1971). He even named a track "Cosmic Slop."

Boogie Down Productions, By All Means Necessary (1988). KRS-One at the window restages the Malcolm X photo, and the title flips "by any means necessary."

Camp Lo, Uptown Saturday Night (1997). A homage to Ernie Barnes` The Sugar Shack, the painting from Marvin Gaye`s I Want You and the Good Times credits.

Which flip goes hardest? Drop it below 👇

One Tuesday in October 1994 put three classics in the same new-release rack. Brooklyn, Houston, Fort Greene. 📀

🎙️ O.C., Word...Life. Wild Pitch, Buckwild on most of the beats.

🕯️ Scarface, The Diary. No. 2 on the Billboard 200, platinum before the year was out. One guest verse on the whole album: Ice Cube. And yes, that`s "No Tears" in the Office Space traffic jam.

🎷 Digable Planets, Blowout Comb. Guru on "Borough Check" over Roy Ayers. Inner sleeve styled like the Black Panther paper.

Same day, three lanes. Which one you running back first? 👇
