What better way is there to have a picture definition of self reflection than to have your favorite major pop icons watching TV? that is what rapper XV intended in the mix tape called pop culture. society has an influence on people today and arguably has too much. XV has taken that into account and decided to use this work of art to express the idea of Immanuel Kant's concept of moral duty.
Looking into this picture, you have characters such as Goku, Snookie, Beavus and Butthead, the bald guy from breaking bad, and others plopped in the living room of the Simpsons' house. And right in the middle you have XV, bad over his head chilling as well. Some may argue when looking at the picture that the artist has become a pop icon. Maybe if XV did not have the paper bag over his head, i would agree. With it, he does not like to associate what other pop icons are doing nor does he want to know whats going on. Following the way of Immanuel Kant, he is saying how these people do not follow moral duty and these people are being watching everyday. XV is here, telling them that they are not doing their job correctly. XV is their wake up call.
Every one, yes and i mean every one, want to be famous or at least get their 15 minutes of fame once in their lifetime. How people do with it is another story. if you take the time to listen to XV's mix tape, he'll tell you how he's going to do with it.
I love Goku in the background, definitely brings back the kid in me
