Cole often raps about his crappy deadbeat father who abandoned him. What makes him an ironic choice for a Nova cover is that this is very much a father-son book J. His ability to relate to listeners with common themes and wrap it up with great music is one of his charming qualities. How well does it fit?: Cole is one of Hip-Hop’s brightest stars right now. Cole’s Born Sinner (2013)īest Tracks off the Album: “ Crooked Smile,” “ Power Trip,” “ Rich Niggaz,” “ Born Sinner” Marvel Creative Team: Sean Ryan (Writer), Cory Smith (Artist) Howard, though, might not have the same FBI file as Dirt McGirt, which includes a shootout with NYPD. His shining characteristic was being able to grab his nuts and throw up his middle finger to the authorities – any authority – just like our fowl friend, Howard. He was one of the few to transform his Wu-Tang membership into a solid career. How well does it fit?: Before his untimely death in 2004, ODB was one of the grimiest dudes in rap. Hip-Hop Album: Ol Dirty Bastard’s Return to the 36 Chambers (1993)īest Tracks off the Album: “ Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” “ Brooklyn Zoo,” “ Raw Hide” Marvel Creative Team: Chip Zdarsky (Writer), Joe Quinones (Artist) Hip-Hop Album: Lil B’s Black Flame (2011)

Marvel Creative Team: Dan Abnett (Writer), Luke Ross (Artist) Here’s hoping Drax won’t flop on his own. His early success that was launched almost solely from Kanye’s sound floundered around until he began his “acting” career. How well does it fit?: Drax has been gaining tons of popularity for his sardonic sense of humor, but really hasn’t done anything to make me want to invest time in his solo career. Hip-Hop Album: KiD CuDi’s Man on the Moon II (2010)īest Tracks off the Album: “ Erase Me,” “ Revofev,” “ Wild’n Cuz I’m Young” Marvel Creative Team: CM Punk/Cullen Bunn (Writers), Scott Hepburn (Artist) Wale isn’t nearly as popular as Deadpooly over here, but he gets to have brunch with Jerry Seinfeld, which is kind of zany for a Hip-Hop artist. How well does it fit?: The album name definitely fits here, as Wade Wilson is one of the most absent-minded characters in pop culture. Hip-Hop Album: Wale’s Attention Deficit (2009)īest Tracks off the Album: “ Pretty Girls,” “ Chillin‘,” “ Beautiful Bliss” Marvel Creative Team: Gerry Duggan (Writer), Mike Hawthorne (Artist) With Lemire writing this new X-Men series, it’s about damn time the X-series got back to its roots.

How well does it fit?: De La Soul were on the front lines of the wacky, relatable, and socially responsible rhymes. Hip-Hop Album: De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising (1989)īest Tracks off the Album: “ Me, Myself and I,” “ Buddy,” “ Say No Go,” “ Eye Know”

Marvel Creative Team: Jeff Lemire (Writer), Humberto Ramos (Artist) October 2015 Hip-Hop Variants November 4th We’ll be doing this each month for as long as the All-New All-Different brand keeps putting out variants! We’ve tracked down each cover, provided information about the album inspiring the variant cover, and given our two cents on whether it fits the subject. After immense success with putting Hip-Hop duo Run the Jewels on the cover of a few of their books, Marvel has expanded the idea to give each and every single book in their All-New All-Different line-up its own Hip-Hop variant.
