Comparing Quarterbacks and Rappers
Creativity and imagination went a long way at Hardly Art.
Where else will you ever see a comparison between Trent Green and Kanye West? Here are a few of Hardly Art's comparisons.
Trent Green = Kanye West
So exciting out of the gate. Won a ring in the early goings. Destined for mediocrity.
Drew Brees = Lil' Scrappy
You're better than I thought! Gifted one year wonders stand up!
Jake "The Snake" Plummer = Talib Kweli
Baffling. Just when you think they've got it, poof, 3 picks and nothing to show for the effort.
There were a few that went unmentioned.
Nas = Doug Flutie
Most famous for a pinnacle achievement at the beginning of their careers (Illmatic and the Hail Mary), these two mostly flew under the radar for a decade before returning to the limelight in New York (or Buffalo).
Ok, so far as hip hop goes, that one's blasphemous.
Mobb Deep = Aaron Brooks
Spent a few years watching how it was done. Once unleashed they turned out to be raw. But after awhile, fans turned against them when their productivity started to decline.
Vanilla Ice = Ryan Leaf
Is an explanation even necessary?
