Cop Your XXL Merch Now Wax figures can be hit or miss. There are the times when people get it right. Like Post Malone‘s likeness created by the famed wax sculpture-making company Madame Tussauds that left him awestruck in June of 2024. Or the life-like Takeoff wax figure that went viral in January of 2024. But then there are the ones that people have deemed objectively bad. In the 2000s, the Madame Tussauds in London housed a wax figure of rapper-actor Will Smith that few fans were able to get jiggy with because it looked more like a pleading pauper than the Fresh Prince. In October of 2023, a...

Cop Your XXL Merch Now As one of the biggest rappers from The Big 3 generation to impact hip-hop, Kendrick Lamar’s debut album, Section.80, served as a warning for what was to come. K-Dot’s breakout project established him as not only an insanely talented rapper, but the future voice of a generation. In 2010, the Overly Dedicatedmixtapeintroduced a young Kendrick Lamar to the world as a conflicted starving artist “tryna to go beyond the margins.” Instead of continuing to rely on his rambunctious bars to establish rap dominance like most hip-hop newcomers would, Section.80, released in 2011, el...
