My Main Man Pat: Madvillain
This week My Main Man Pat’s got some dope Madvillain designs check em out below.

ALL CAPS

Quasivillain
Well folks, we have arrived at week 100 and I’m giving myself a gift to celebrate. If you’ve been following the site for a minute, you can probably guess my personal favorite MC, and if not this week’s designs should make it clear. His name is MF DOOM, and the fact that both of these are related to my favorite album of his is just the icing on the cake.
As promised last week, I’d also like to give you a little something to mark the occasion. So, everyone who replies to this email with a link their personal favorite MF DOOM track in the body will be entered in a draw to win a free tee. For every 10 entries I get I will add another free shirt so your odds will be pretty good and I’m really looking forward to this playlist.
Big shouts to the artists, first time collaborator Jacob Hoopes and practical resident Ready2Rumbl, for making this week possible. The designers are the main reason we’ve come this far and these two will have a ton of personal meaning.
Finally, biggups to all of you for getting us here! I don’t think I have to explain how none of this would be possible without your support, but did want to add that it goes further just the dollars. Your feedback has shaped the site, and most of our growth has been because of you rocking our gear and telling your friends. I can’t thank you enough fam, looking forward to the next 100.
Salute,
Pat

My Main Man Pat: Nas x Gang Starr

My Main Man Pat’s back with a couple great designs.


We are in our 99th week, and it’s only right our last one in double digits will be spent with two golden era classics on the page. We try to keep it current but this right here is the hip-hop I grew up on, and will continue to be a big part of the site in the next 100 weeks. With that said, here’s why I’m loving this week’s fresh ink…
A standing ovation goes out to the homie Alan J. Thatcher for combining two of my favorite things in life with his “Heineken Brew” joint. Illmatic + cold beer = the quickest way to my heart. The man even put a condensated finish on the label…on point as per always Alan.
On a more minimalistic tip, the two words that come to mind on Ollie Sawards “Just To Get A Rep” are eye and pleasing. Like the message of the song and the artwork it inspired, it’s amazing what people will do for just 5 simple words.
Before I dip, with next week being the big 1-0-0 you know we’re going to do something to celebrate. It will involve a giveaway of some sort to those that get the newsletter, so make sure you peep next week’s email for details.
Bump good music this week folks,
