# Superimposed Rap Covers The Emceez Ansari Tumblr Adds Humor to Hip-Hop By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-08-09 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emceez-ansari-blog References: [emceezansari.tumblr](http://emceezansari.tumblr.com/) Adding humor to iconic hip-hop covers, the Emceez Ansari blog is a display of [hilarious photoshopped visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface). The name choice for this blog is a hybrid wordplay on the comedian Aziz Ansari's name with the word 'MC.' As a well known hip-hop aficionado, Ansari is no stranger to meme parodies on urban culture. Along with his appearance in a Watch The Throne 'Otis' video, he also popularized his own brand of [Watch the Throne Comics](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-the-throne-comics). These new Tumblr images are fusing hip-hop with the famed comedian's rap notoriety, as Aziz Ansari's face is superimposed onto the [iconic imagery of popular rap albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musicoverai). Ansari versions of A$AP Rocky's 'Live, Love, A$AP,' 50 Cent's 'Get Rich of Die Tryin' and even the 'Pink Friday: Reloaded' album by Nicki Minaj are hilarious. The hybrid imagery is witty banter on the absolute popularity of both comedy and hip-hop culture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Memetic Album Art:** Opportunities lies in creating humorous and creative parodies of iconic album covers as an effective way to capture attention and increase engagement. - **Comedic Brand Collaborations:** Collaborations between popular comedians and brands within the music industry can strengthen brand image while simultaneously creating shareable and humorous content. - **Nostalgic Mashups:** Creating mashups between iconic cultural references from different eras can create a sense of nostalgia and humor, giving rise to content that is both shareable and engaging. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Comedy:** Comedy production houses can collaborate with artists and brands in the music industry to create comedic content that effectively targets an audience. - **Marketing:** Marketers in the music industry can collaborate with popular comedians to create content that is both humorous and brand relevant in order to effectively capture audience attention. - **Entertainment:** Mashups of nostalgic cultural references can be created by entertainment companies in the music industry to create humorous and entertaining content for a large audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Engaging Rap Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rap-trivia.md) - [Celebratory Hip-Hop Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphop-collaboration.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Artful Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-carpet.md) - [Music-Informed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roc-nation-and-moncler.md) - [AI Humor Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-me-ai.md) - [Hip-Hop Craft Beer Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-collab.md) - [Instant Photo Roast Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinger.md) - [AI Cover Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albumcover-ai.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md)
