Just A Couple Thoughts On Kevin Durant's New Tupac Tattoo...

This may not be the most popular of opinion, but I don't think it's all that bad. And yes, I fully acknowledge that is solely because it's starting to remind me of my favorite childhood poster...

In fact, my biggest problem is that KD didn't recreate the whole damn thing. A contextless Tupac - tagged with a random Wu Tang logo for god knows what reason - undoubtedly looks silly, and if there's anything I know about silly tattoos is that the best way to make them look less silly is to surround them with extensive ink and spread the attention around. As far as I am concerned, he's got to throw some more rappers on there and all the sudden all eyez aren't on Pac anymore. Just straight up turn his entire lower body into an ode to classic hip hop and it wouldn't be too long before his legs would be considered a canvas for art instead of a target for jokes. Not everyone that gets a tat has to immediately turn in to J.R. Smith, but when that tat is the nearly life-size face of a deceased rapper hovering over the famous symbol of a completely unrelated group from an entirely different coast then they kindddddda do. I think that actually looks a little more like Mr. Shakur than people are letting on but sandwich it between a Biggie and a Big Pun and it won't even matter, because sleeves are always bad ass - no matter what appendage they cover.
