# Lyrical Mashup Art The 'Fly Art' Tumblr Presents the Perfect Mix of Hip Hop and Art By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-07-19 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hip-hop-and-art References: [flyartproductions.tumblr](http://flyartproductions.tumblr.com/) If you happen to have an appreciation for both [hip hop and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-carpet), you're definitely going to want to check out 'Fly Art' on Tumblr. The images uploaded to the account feature bold white lyrics from popular songs overlaying [classical art pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arts-every-time-art). It's common for artists to source from the past and it's not even unheard of to see [crossovers between music and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece). However, each of the lyric and painting choices on Fly Art are perfectly matched. William-Adolphe Bouguereau's 'The Dance' featuring females frolicking in the clouds is mixed with lyrics from Pharrell's Happy, while a painting by Mabuse of Adam and Eve is matched with lyrics from Kendrick Lamar's 'B*tch Don't Kill by Vibe,' warning: "I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lyrical Mashup Art:** Opportunity to create unique artwork by combining elements of hip hop lyrics with classical art pieces. - **Music and Art Crossovers:** Exploring the intersection of music and art to create innovative and engaging visual experiences. - **Bold White Lyrics:** Utilizing bold white lyrics as an artistic medium to add a contemporary twist to classical artwork. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art:** Potential for artists to incorporate hip hop lyrics and popular music culture into their classical art forms. - **Music:** Collaborative opportunities for musicians and artists to create compelling visuals that complement their music. - **Digital Art:** Digital artists can leverage Lyrical Mashup Art as a source of inspiration and explore new creative techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sneaker-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip.md) - [Celebratory Hip-Hop Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphop-collaboration.md) - [Artistic Hip-Hop-Inspired Cereal Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/follow-your-ears.md) - [Hip Hop Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-fly-and-fabulous.md) - [Lyrics-Inspired OOH Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyricsinspired-ooh-campaign.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Personalized AI Album Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-album-covers.md) - [AI Lyric Analysis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyriko.md) - [Hip-Hop Craft Beer Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-collab.md)
