The Mynority Classics playing cards are a gangsta deck of cards that feature hip-hop heavyweights. A great collector's item for classic hip-hop fans young and old, this deck of cards can facilitate a fun card game while also getting admired as a work of art -- you just have to fit in a card game in between spitting crazy rhymes.
All of the drawings on the Mynority Classics playing cards are done by illustrator Sayori Wada. She uses a black Japanese calligraphy brush to create the caricature portraits of rap superstars. Rap legends that are featured on the playing cards include Busta Rhymes, NAS, Beastie Boys, Easy-E, Snoop Dogg (or is it Snoop Lion now?), Jay-Z and Public Enemy.
The Mynority Classics playing cards can be ordered online through the company's website.
