MC Is My Ambition: Poster Design Inspired by Hip Hop's Paper Chase by Abdi J Noor


UK-based graphic and web designer Abdi J Noor visualizes lyrical quotes from classic Hip Hop recordings as poster art using a combination of creative logo and type design with bold, stylized imagery. Each of Abdi's designs are striking, eye-catching and convey a sense of power visually to match the strong degree of ambition contained with each song's message. Each poster has one thing in common, they present the dreams of an MC by transforming lyrics about aspiration into great works of graphic design.

The proud owner who displays these posters in their home can feel a sense of empowerment and determination as they view the immortal words of Nas, B. I. G., Wu Tang Clan and Snoop Dogg. These works use the power and message of visual art to symbolize Hip Hop's idea of "the come-up".






In 2013 Chamber & MadJha remix "C.R.E.A.M." towards a more rugged low-budget demo feel than the original, a vibe which matches the production feel of "Enter The 36 Chambers". In the new age of beat making technology this one shows the dirty approach to Hip Hop which Wu pioneered is still alive and appreciated.


Cobra Wolf Shark completely flips the mood of Wu's original song and the remix above with vocoded vocals and some synthy goodness. This remix of C.R.E.A.M. for The Beat Inn (c) Facebook Group Therapy Chop #71 utilizes a sample from "Alonzo" by Al Jarreau.
