My Heart Will Go Uhh! | The Genius 1997 Collection

Опубликовано 11 мая 2017, 20:42

Released in late 1997, the epic disaster romance film Titanic became the biggest movie of all time, and its theme song “My Heart Will Go On” turned Celine Dion into the undisputed queen of pop music. At the same time, Southern gangsta rap was finally breaking through to the mainstream thanks to the success of Master P’s “Make ’Em Say Uhh!” and Grove Street Party. The gaudy, over-the-top No Limit album covers, and others like them, were created by Houston’s Pen & Pixel and the Bay Area’s Phunky Phat Graph-X, two independent design companies who mixed tragedy and luxury using state-of-the-art computer software.

Genius’ “My Heart Will Go Uhh!” t-shirt—part of the 1997 Collection—is a tribute shirt to Celine and the Titanic that uses the distinctive visual style of underground rap album covers from the era. It depicts “The Heart of the Ocean,” the fictional blue diamond necklace that was prominently featured in Titanic, as well as the film’s must-have double VHS set.
