Rest In Peace - MCA from the Beastie Boys Painting

RIP - MCA 

Painting byGlen E. Friedman

Glen Friedman is one of the forefathers of hip hop art. He was down with the Beastie Boys way back in 1984 when they were the random white rap group that showed up in that scene from krush groove the movie. Glen Friedman was big in the early hip hop scene of New York and still shows hip hip influenced art around the world. 

I caught this billboard on Venice Blvd the other day.

I wish Los Angeles had more came appearances by artists painting billboards than

those boring advertisements for Jim Rome is now on CBS.

Thanks for keeping it real.
