Kehinde Wiley Vs. Ingres

Napoleon On His Empirial Throne Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1806



Ice T Kehinde Wiley, 2005

What is Kehinde Wiley trying to do here? A cover, a remix or a streetview on classical painting? Or maybe he wants to tell us how kitschy Ingres paintings were already, we never realized?
The Perversion of postmodern theory - by penetraiting past aesthetic values even the real heavy stuff becomes cliche... Not even to mention a rappers desire to start verbal wars! Name me one rapper who's name is not Napoleon?

And if you never heard of Ingres please move yo ass over here.
