Music Geek: Tough Guy Goes Urban!

In 2005, I did the illustrations for MTV.com's MUSIC GEEK column, wherein a rotating list of writers (including myself) waxed poetic about something music-related (I know, odd for MTV). Below are the illos I did for some columns outside of my normal realm, being the hip-hop / R&B world. I have no idea whether these worked or not (I did have to redraw the Fat Joe one because I drew him flashing a peace sign and wearing his FJ bling, something that the editors decided was not a good idea).
