This month, Male Model Humpday is taking a break from the catwalkers and Blue Steelers to bring you the hottest men in music, starting with the hunks of Hip Hop and R&B. Whether spitting hardcore rhymes or crooning smooth love ballads, these urban daddies always keep the ladies — and gentleman — screaming for more.

As further proof that rockstars are real people too (still debatable), there’s a set of 10 note cards now for sale with photos of musical legends and their loving animal counterparts. Did you realize that John Lennon was such a cat lover? Or that Patti Smith had a (presumably lucky) black cat? Or that David Bowie has a dog other than Diamond Dogs? The Morrison Hotel Gallery is giving 100% of the sales from this $20 box of cards goes to the charity Rational Animal, which raises awareness and money for the homeless animals in NYC and nationwide. See a sneak peek ahead and get all gooey inside.

“Nelly has the attitude, the swagger, and most of all the physique that our customers can both aspire and relate to … And let’s be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign,” says a spokesperson for Sean John.
Daniel and I were discussing this venture over the weekend and come up with the conclusion that these ads are not that exciting. I thought Sean John was trying to revolutionize men’s clothing by moving completely away from any “ghetto” stereotypes. This ad in particular is so stereotypical of what is “ghetto” in fashion, with his jeans ultra baggy, hanging so low that the underwear are revealed and they are so long they bunch on the floor. Now what is soo cool about this? Yes, Nelly looks hot, he has an amazing body, no one is disputing that, but this campaign is in no way stylish, trendy, or revolutionary. Very disappointing!!!
Give the modern hip hop loving black man a collection he can actually appreciate or get the fuck out of fashion Diddy.
