A Little Bit About Lils

$130.00


So many Lil rappers, so little scrutiny.

For this hip-hop infographic, we investigated a few of the hundreds of rappers using the “Lil” moniker, and found that, yes, a number of them are in fact little (i.e. shorter than average height), yet there were a few surprises. Lil Nas X is reported to be 6 foot 2 inches–not so little/lil’.

Along with Lil Nas X, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil’ Kim, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, and Lil Yachty are featured in this Lil examination.

Lil? Really? We’ll be the judge of that.

 

Artwork text:

Throughout the annals of time, the affectionate diminutive, the term for offspring named after a parent, and the diminishing insult have been a part of the global lexicon. In the domain of hip-hop, this article has been used broadly, to no clear linguistic end. Research of limited scope shows us that application is rather uneven when applied to its chief dimension, height. Savvy readers will note that Lil՚ Kim is the actual, ah, well, ‟Lil՚estˮ, clocking in at 4′ 10″.

The original artwork is printed on archival, acid-free Kodak Endura Premier paper (210 gsm) in a low glare satin finish using archival, pigment based inks.

Framed piece features a scratch-resistant acrylic insert and comes ready to hang.

Care instructions: Wipe clean with a lil’ damp cloth. Good to go.
