These pictures this week are great. They are like some social commentary or something. This picture seemed to be about changing nature of hip hop genre. The golden painted chains, or so-called 'bling bling' culture championed by the 50 cent and others. There are some aspects of racism and prejudice that could be brought up by this image too. As for the contest, timeless was quite short in comparison, but try not to let that cause any bias here. Vulgar had an excellent storyline, the scene setting was great, all the language contributed well into creating the rich atmosphere. The names were also great too, perhaps some small research went into this, because it seemed quite authentic. Also, the use of apocryphal story at the end was great, showing how reality can become legend. This seemed to be the message of the story more so than the actual plot itself. Timeless had great multiple rhymes, my main gripe is I think you were opposite to the picture. The picture is quite negative but you wrote it as if it was a positive thing. The he wasn't clear until the end, and maybe its my unfamiliarity with USA history, but the Abraham Lincoln reveal didn't feel like a great payoff. Voting for Vulgar.
