Check out Fly Art, where classic paintings meet hip-hop lyrics

“An homage to the finer things in life: art and hip hop.”

That’s the tagline of Fly Art, our new favorite Tumblr. Described as “a project born out of boredom, frustration, and the internet,” Fly Art was inspired by similarly-themed mash-up sites Swoosh Art and Carter Family Portraits.

They’ve been at it for some time, and they’ve come up with some gems, like Kanye and Picasso, Drake and Hopper, Beyoncé and Botticelli, or the one above, The persistence of Ms. Jackson.

For more like this, check out B4XVI, the Tumblr that pairs rappers with ancient art to investigate the “timeless representation of swag.”
