Awesome of the Day: Young Jeezy and Clipse Ad-Lib Posters

If Lil Jon popularized the hip-hop ad-lib, Young Jeezy elevated it to an art form. For the uninitiated, an ad-lib is something that a rapper shouts during a verse to add flavor to their songs. Remember that no-longer-funny Dave Chapelle skit where he made fun of Lil Jon’s oft-hollered WHATs and OKAYs? Those were ad-libs that Chapelle was mocking.

Now that we’re all caught up—trap-rapper Young Jeezy (whoops, just Jeezy) is still the world’s premiere slinger of ad-libs, even if the quality of his music has done a pretty steep nosedive in the past two years. If you’ve heard one Jeezy song, you’ve probably heard almost all of his ad-libs: “jyeah,” “deeeyum,” “ayyy,” “ha haaa,” “yeeeaaahhh” and, of course, “thaaat’s riiiiight.” At this point, it’s pretty much safe to say that the ad-libs are the best part of his music.

Enter graphic designer Jermaine Davis, who took it upon himself to design a series of awesome infographic-style posters immortalizing Jeezy’s ad-libs. And if you prefer your coke rap ad-libs N.Y.-style over Dirty South-style, he’s got you covered with a poster of Clipse’s battle cry: “EGHCK.” Now, let’s hope that Davis starts selling prints of them, because these babies would make a quite a handsome addition to your home or office décor.
