Rap music and hip-hop culture, in general, are expanding more and more. Hip-hop has become more popular than rock music in 2017. This shift is not a coincidence, many artists, labels, trends, and culture pushed hip-hop to the top. The genre has not built upon a simple style, technique, or flow. Everything about hip-hop has changed since the ’80s and ’90s but it still protects its core values. As a general music enjoyer and hip-hop listener, it’s not that hard to witness the impact of hip-hop on art, and pop culture. French artist Stephanie Macaigne combines her passion for hip-hop and art. recreating the existing album artwork and portraying them on a new medium.

If you like hip-hop and look at Stephanie Macaigne’s work, you feel like entering a rabbit hole. Seeing DAMN., Flower Boy, Rodeo back and forth and asked myself instantly; “How many art pieces does Stephanie Macaigne create? I bet she likes every one of them as well. But which ones are her top 3?” and so on and on. This thought process led me to an old idea about creating new pieces while information is an abundance. Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson is a cool and inspiring video essay about creating new art pieces by using already existed and executed ideas.

This creation process feels like contributing and giving back to the hip-hop community. Everyone has their own interpretation of music, visuals, or artworks. But Stephanie Macaigne’s works show themself as a whole. Although this pattern and vision show us how artists differentiate from each other. We previously featured Aaron Fahy and Euphoric Supply‘s work, but everyone’s work is unique and captivates the viewer.
