I turn classic rap songs into Shakespearean-style iambic pentameter. All of the words I use in my rewrites appear in Shakespeare's works.
Future Shakespeare -- Wicked (Future's Wicked)
Drakespeare -- When Thy Messenger Alights (Drake's "Hotline Bling")
Notorious Soliloquy -- 'JVICY' (Biggie's "Juicy")
Ice Cube -- 'Twas A Good Day' ("It Was a Good Day")
Rick the Ruler -- 'A Knave's Tale' (Slick Rick's "Children's Story")
Shakespeare ReCited, a Selfridge's campaign, in collaboration with High Snobiety, to showcase modern British musicians on the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's death
The Reviews Are In:
