The graphic designer Jay Shells has hit the streets of New York to mark the corners mentioned in a load of rap lyrics, including those of Jay-Z, Mos Def and Big Daddy Kane. It's an amazing way to chart pieces of Hip-Hop history, and a refreshingly smug-free method of 'street-art'. Hopefully in 20 years someone can do something similar in London. Actually maybe not. It will just be some shit Professor Green Lyric about stabbing flung up next to Cargo.

More Rap Quotes. More Jay Shells. More art criticism @JackBlocker
