RapQuote.com took the typical Vegas-style poker deck and flipped it with high-minded design and [classic rap quotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-la-soul-x-levis) to create the Hip Hop Playing Card [collector deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-x-miu-miu). Showcasing 54 quotes from legendary east and west coast artists, this deck covers a gamut of classic quotes from Rakim, Kendrick, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Snoop and Biggie.

A limited print run of 1,000 decks has been printed on premium-quality, air-cushion (linen) finish playing card stock. These have been created with intricate design details, including metallic ink that will satisfy the hip-hop collector and bring the street vibe into [poker nights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wpt-arsham-poker-set).

RapQuote.com has been delivering fresh quotes about love, life, money and more since 2001. Its store features rap quote-laced gear with impeccable aesthetics for the collector, gift-giver or straight-up rap aficionado.
