# Rapper Re-Interpreted Books A Kanye West Dr. Seuss Mashup Results in the Best Titles of All Time By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-06-11 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanye-west-dr-seuss References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/jenlewis/if-dr-seuss-books-were-actually-about-kanye) If you've ever wondered what a Kanye West Dr. Seuss mashup up would look like, Buzzfeed writer and illustrator Jen Lewis just did you a solid. These re-imagined book covers come after Kanye announced he planned to record a Dr. Seuss rap for his daughter North before she was born. Whether or not the rapper goes through with this plan remains to be seen, unlike this hilarious re-interpreted [children's literature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-eggs-spam1). Lewis uses frequent exclamations West makes on his tracks and inserts them into book titles. So Horton Hears a Who turns into Horton Hears a Hanh?! Other elements of the Kanye West Dr. Seuss title pages include Kanye-isms such as interrupting and fancy coats. Lyrics are also incorporated, as can be seen in [The Grinch Who Stole Christmas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grinch-x-crocs). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rap-inspired Mashup Art:** Expresses creativity through the mixture of seemingly unrelated cultural elements. - **Hip-hop Children's Books:** Creates innovative literature for a new generation of readers. - **Celebrity-inspired Fan Art:** Brings together two different fan bases through a shared appreciation of pop culture icons. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Publishing:** Injects new life into children's literature by combining different cultural touchstones. - **Art and Design:** Creates opportunities for artists and designers looking to capitalize on the trend of mashup art. - **Music and Entertainment:** Provides opportunities for rappers and other musicians to expand their creative output beyond traditional musical forms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Children's Book NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-seuss-nft.md) - [Whimsical Cartoon Diapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-bello-1.md) - [Affordable Luxury Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20-dollar.md) - [Festive Grinch-Inspired Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-8.md) - [Highly Affordable Fashion Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-supply-1.md) - [Personalized AI Album Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-album-covers.md) - [Storybook Food Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-eggs-spam1.md) - [Creative Premium Collaborative Initives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-by-balenciaga.md) - [Rapper-Designed Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zne-01.md)
