CONTEXT PRATICAL: LYRIC SAMPLING

From the examples I found I had to choose 3 to continue with to design. I decided to choose the following

— 1. 

"I got 99 problems and a bitch aint one" — Jay Z in 99 Problems (2003)

"I got 99 problems but you won't be one" — Iggy Azealia and Arianna Grande in Problem (2014

— 9.

Oh she's a gold digger way over town That digs on me — Kanye West / Jamie Foxx - 'Gold Digger' (2005)


She give me money when Im in need, Yeah she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah — Ray Charles - 'I Got A Woman' (1954)


— 5.

"La da di da di, we like to party" — Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick in La Di Da Di 1985
"La da di da di, we like to party" — Miley Cyrus in We Can't Stop 2013



As I felt that the artwork from these artists was the most striking and had the highest DPI also because the comparisons were very clear and undeniable. With these decisions made I will now focus on developing the design.
