Clay Patrick McBride: Jay Z and Kanye WestClay Patrick McBride (American, b. 1968) Jay Z and Kanye West, New York, 2004 Archival inkjet print Signed lower right, titled, dated and numbered "8/10" lower left, unframed. 60 x 40 in.FootnotesClay Patrick McBride - "In this shot, I recreated Hank Walker's famous shot of President John F. Kennedy conferring with his brother Robert Kennedy, using President Shawn Carter and his little brother Kanye West. Jay-Z resided over the Def Jam Recordings oval office from December 2004 until December 2007, just as President John F. Kennedy had done in the White House from January 1961 to November 1963. Hov was to be proclaimed the "Leader of the Rap World" in August 2005 by XXL magazine, and they wanted to feature President Carter and his cabinet. I looked to the 1960s for inspiration, using Jay's Presidential status at DJ and his Roc-A-Fella Records roster to recreate famed shots of John F. Kennedy and his Camelot cabinet".
