Hip hop music can be thought of as poetry set to music. Did you also know that the early hip hop culture has been thought to help reduce violence in the inner city by replacing physical battles with both dance and artwork battles? Since graffiti art is both beautiful and creative some type of graffiti art could be found on a variety of hip hop art posters. In addition, since DJing is an essential part of the hip hop culture it is possible to find a DJ poster in a music store that sells DJ tiesto posters.

Therefore, it is a certainty that there are many children and teenagers that purchase hip hop artist posters of these and other musically gifted hip hop artists from time to time. Although it is possible that buying hip hop posters with either Kanye West or Jay-Z on them would be very popular because both of these hip hop music artists have a top selling hip hop CD this year. Jay-Z’s CD is called American Gangster and Kanye West’s CD is called Graduation. In fact Graduation sold over 2 million copies in its first week out in music stores.
