I'd call this stylistic rather then a disaster. Its not like he has a shriveled limb.
oh.
so it isn't only the grammar rappers are trying to kill.
Is that the car that appears in that advertising in the middle of Robocop 1?
@Dave West
If his arm is resting on the roof of the car, there's no way his feet are adjacent to the front wheel.
WV: jimpato
So his car springs from his pocket, where he keeps it while he's not using it. So? Doesn't yours?
It's not stylistic when it's just a car badly comp'd into a photograph. If the buildings were stylized, etc. But instead, this is just a magical, floating, foreshortened car.
Not to mention that given mainstream rappers are so concerned about their rep and showing off how wealthy they are, this disaster is even worse. Context!
haha. this is so funny and terrible.
looool
He is standing next to the front wheel while leaning way back to lean on the roof.
Clearly this man is extremely tall and laughs in the face of gravity.
This is of no surprise since my sister can do the same thing...
If I had a sister.
The good thing is that the guy's name isn't Misko.
And he doesn't have his arm resting on the roof of the car. He is playing an invisible violin with one hand while he ponders the situation with the other. That a perspective distorted limo appears from his armpit is just an transdimensional coincidence, not a photoshop disaster.
He is actually quite deformed, if you see him live. He is disproportional in a triangle shape, such that his head is too big to match his shoulders, which are too big to match his torso, which is too big for his waist, etc.
The result is that when he leans away from the camera, perspective makes him appear to be normal looking and standing upright.
So yeah, no PSD here. He's just making up for being naturally foreshortened.
I can do that.
I don't know who this guy is...but seems like he must not make very much money if he can't even afford to be photographed with a real car.
It's obviously symbolic... see his pensive stance and hand placement?
Swagg through da roof. He's so swaggy that da roof of da car is trying to catch up to meet him. But it will never happen, as he so swaggy that perspective can't touch that.
It's amazing. He looks both tiny and gigantic at the same time. So bizarre!
Lean back.
Oh my, this is awful!!!!
Isn't there and PsD competition? People should vote for their favorite horror picture, I'm pretty sure this would be one rough nominee...
Dear Jeepers, What is wrong with that CAR? (did it get a nose job?)
wv: singstai (thought it oddly well-suited to this particular PSD)
whoops...perspective bad, and not cropped properly.
there's a black curve on his right hand that faded off halfway. the lighting seems wrong, and his reflection is not shown on the car, lol
Stylistic indeed. As in, no style at all. It's fine if you want to make the vehicle look "stylistic," but it still has to look like it's actually there. He's probably really leaning on his mom's 78 Malibu Classic.
Isn't it kind of unfair to pick on hip-hop album covers? It seems like PsD's are part of that style. I have minimal interaction with the genre and even I can't count the number of lens flares and filter effects I have seen.
No wonder he has that thoughtful look gangstas and teen girls on MySpace strike: he's wondering where the back end of his ride is.
@Frog
That [i]was[/i] a Chrysler 300C, I believe.
HTML fail^ :[
Pimp dat vanishing ride...
Another fantastic Escher-esque optical illusion. That's two in a row. Please keep up the great work!
What amazes me is that it would have been easier to just take a picture. Sure, lighting and all that is a pain, but the results are real. Theeeen you go into photoshop and tweak away if you like.
Mike's still pretty proud of da cd cover no doubt!
wv : untionn
u should tag that as reflections too, 'cos the gangsta must be a vampire, he ain't reflected on tha car.
This doesn't require question or analysis, its blatently aweful. Nuf said.
@Jolene that's the butt of the pistol in his over-large, seems to be pretty obviously comped-in hand. If you look reeeally closely you can kinda see the barrel sticking out by his index finger. Another stylistic fail -- a proper gangsta would want his piece showin' and no question about it.
It could be my imagination, but isn't the reflection in the shiny shiny metal actually of a lawn?
It's quite good.. ! :)
This reminds me of the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" where everyone pretends to hold it up... he's just sayin.. Look I'm leaning on a car that's not really here, but I'm sure they'll find me a sweet ride to pretend it's mine....
Sure, the perspective is off and it's a bad comp job. But, what really draws my eye is that he's missing a foot. The leg tucked behind him simply disappears. With those great, big yellow shoes, we should be able to see at least part of a second foot.
At least they tried t cover their track with that wisp of stategically-placed smoke/steam/poison gas.
WV: actin
psssshaw
my car can do that
No self-respecting rapper would ever correctly spell "through". It would be "thru", pronounced "fru".
@Melinda, you got me looking hard in finding his second shoe. he seem to be wearing a black shiny shoe if you take a closer look. its weird, cos he is wearing a yellow shoe on the other. haha
and now i've taken a second look, the top of the car seems like reflection of clouds?
Too much disasters on this piece. i see alot of photoshop effort that the designer had put in, good effort really... :)
What's with the big H on his right hand? Is that supposed to be some kind of "bling?"
wv:lisesa
I am thinking the same thing truebleholder, immediately i saw that image i remembered robocop 1, its similar to an image in a post on my blog
This IS NOT a PSD, it is the long sought after proof of Einstein's theory of relativity! I'll explain:
The car is actually going the speed of light. That is why it is nighttime, but still daytime in the reflection on the hood (the Doppler effect of light compression). This also explains the foreshortening of the car, like when ships enter hyperspace in sci-fi movies. He is actually leaning on the roof of the car, the light just has not caught up to the camera yet (like how astronomers see distant stars that have already burned out). Further bending of light is evident in the shadows, the car's falls slightly to the right while Mike's is far to the left - a common effect of breaking the time/space continuum. He can chill in microsecond bursts (balanced on the edge of his one foot) to ponder whether to 'hit that booty' or to 'pop a cap in her badonkadonk."
Mike has instructed us to ignore his relativistic light and time distortions, this is the 'gap' which we are to 'mind'.
You people clearly do not understand physics.
The biggest, hugest mistake I see it's the name of the rapper. How come hee doesn't have a bad spelled name, DaRidah, or Mic Diounz? How can a rapper's name be as simple as Mike Jones? Come on, wasn't he from The Clash? (or da klash;-) )
WV: dilaw - oh, a ready-made joke!!
Zombie_attack, will you marry me? I needed that laugh.
zombie attack: You people clearly do not understand physics.
No but I understand humor and your comment was the best of a very funny lot. Hilarious.
The pensive look is due to him pondering how long he will have to lean back with his elbow in the air before someone tells him its OK to sit down.
wv: hypste--must be like a hipster but more so.
where's his right feet?
I'm probably not the first to notice this, but I think the car is a shoddy CG render, due to the jaggy aliasing on the hood.
This surely brings rappers to perspective.
Alex: I don't think it's a CG car render, but I do thing someone sized the image of the car badly, or possibly got the car from an image with a different pixel ratio than the rest of the image.
I do some work in 3D, and the image will generally not look like "that" on a bad render
It is, most assuredly, a major disaster though, I hadn't noticed the antialiasing before your comment.. I was distracted by the other side of the image..
Word Ver/my new rapper name: Nousc, bacqks
"Clearly this man is extremely tall"
Yes, and not to mention extremely small, as the RR's front wheel goes up to his hip.
yo son that whip is official any of yall can do that homey wif photoshop
i photoshopped stuff with my nine yo
wow waht is wrong wit that car. like i mean it would be awsome( spelled wrong) but totally cool effect. Really mind blowing
Go Go Gaget Escalade!
where is the back of the car?? smh
OK. For real. The car is a Rolls Royce Phantom. PHANTOM being the key word there. It's art, not PSD.
Don't hate on Mike Jones.
Keepin' it real!
Here he is braggin' bout his swag and he can't even get someone to actually let him touch this car for a photo shoot.
