It Takes Two Hats
Description: This bold black-and-white tribute captures the energy of the iconic duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, featuring their legendary hit "It Takes Two." The artwork highlights the raw charisma of 80s hip-hop with sharp monochrome photography, oversized block typography, and the unmistakable Profile Records logo. Their confident poses and stylized wardrobe reflect the golden age of rap culture—making this piece a nostalgic essential for old-school hip-hop fans and music history lovers alike.
Description: The “Middle Way” in Buddhist spiritual practice exemplified by a bird is more than a belief - it is the truth. It’s also common sense. Wisdom without compassion can be cold and harsh. Compassion without wisdom can be sappy stupidity, what's often called "idiot compassion." The bird needs both wings to fly. The background for these words is a beautiful photograph taken by Sharma Abhishek, courtesy of Pexels, and slightly modified by me for this beautiful design.
Description: Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock. 1988. "I wanna rock right now, I'm Rob Base and I came to get down" — the opening line of a Profile Records single that went platinum and never left the party. Built over Lyn Collins' "Think (About It)" break — the same drums James Brown produced in 1972 — It Takes Two turned a soul record's rhythm section into one of hip hop's most reliable breakbeats. Set in Pump — white fill, a dark brown inline, then rings of orange and deep red stacked around it. Built for black. Every My Type of Lyrics shirt carries a Spotify code. Scan it and the original plays. Instant. If you were there — you already know. If you weren't — scan the code first, then order the shirt.
