Taylor Hill, Getty Images Ironically enough, the idea of America being the “land of the free” could one day lead to the song those words inhabit no longer being the National Anthem. Recently, a man named Dero Anthony used his freedom of speech to try and do just that. On Friday, Anthony started an online petition to have Dipset’s eponymous track “Dipset Anthem” replace Francis Scott Key’s “Star Spangled Banner” as the National Anthem. “The current National Anthem is BS,” reads Anthony’s very straightforward description for his petition. The petition already has over 1700 signatures. With Anthony’s petition gaining a bit of momentum, we have to wonder how Colin Kaepernick would feel about signing it. After all, it was probably his decision to reject the National Anthem at NFL preseason games that inspired Anthony to create the petition in the first place. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said, explaining the motivation behind his controversial protest.

“To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” If you’d like to see the U.S. adopt “Dipset Anthem” as its National Anthem, you can sign the petition here. 20 Mixtape Phenoms That Didn’t Live Up to Expectations Subscribe to XXL on Twitter Reacts to Explicit Photo of G Herbo Look-Alike Fans Choose Which Artist Will Win Best Rap Album at 2017 Grammy Awards Here Are the 2017 Hip-Hop Music Festivals You Need to See Twitter Reacts to Eminem’s Verse on Big Sean’s “No Favors”NIGHT FOUR NEW YORK CITY A photo posted by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on Aug 8, 2016 at 11:15pm PDT Drake has taken over New York since August 4, playing four nights at the iconic Madison Square Garden alongside Future as part of the Summer Sixteen Tour. While he’s been in town he’s taken shots at Hot 97, surprised fans at Mad Decent Block Party, and had NY native A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie open one night of the show.

Last night, August 8, was Drake’s last show at MSG, and he went crazy with the special guests, bringing out J. Cole, Dipset, T.I., Fat Joe, and Remy Ma. He also couldn’t help but take some more shots at Hot 97, saying “This was the real Summer Jam, what have they done for NY lately?”

Drake – "This is the real Summer Jam, what have they done for New York recently? — Dody (@vietbrah) August 9, 2016Earlier this year, Disney was shilling T-shirts with Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures cover in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s face.

While Crass made no peep, the skull poaching was not welcomed by MIIB: founding member Eric Wood unleashed his fury by way of Facebook, calling the band “FUCKING LOGO STEALING LOSERS.”

Despite the polar reactions in these two instances, there is a long-standing tradition of appropriation of rock iconography. From Dipset to Ryan Gosling, here are a sampling of the weirder ones. DIPSET/RAMONES Rappers were taking the unwritten rule that you don’t wear a band’s tee to their concert a little too seriously when this shirt popped up. Hip-hop was having a moment batting for another genre, and even Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul and Juicy J were rocking Metallica and the Misfits T-shirts on their MTV reality show, Adventures in Hollyhood. But Cam’ron and the Diplomats go hand-in-hand with the Ramones: a band of hometown brothers united in their efforts to buck others’ notion of what’s weird, especially when it came to fashion. There have been many Ramones logo knock-offs before and there will continue to be, but this one makes the most sense. RIHANNA/NIRVANA Ghettotech and crunk hybridists House of LaDosha not only have a penchant for vogue ball-style rap performances, but pop culture fusion that extends to the queer-themed merch sold on their site.

This flip on a definitive Nirvana wearable could be conceived as adorable irony, but is more a nod to Rihanna’s icon status. The shirt is appropriately festooned with a frowny face — a nod to Nirvana’s tongue-and-cheek smile and the right representation of a girl who’s “ran out of fucks to give.” THE MEAT HOOK/VAN HALEN The Meat Hook is a Brooklyn butcher shop that specializes in a variety of creative homemade sausages, barbecued pig’s heads at their outpost at food bazaar Smorgasburg. But what solidifies their soulmate-like connection to the band that penned “Hot for Teacher” is what’s to be found in the shop’s Twitter feed, a hotbed for booze-soaked antics and boundary-pushing concoctions (like the epic brunches they used to host in their shop) that feels a whole lot like the culinary manifestation of David Lee Roth’s rattling wail. AYE JAY/COMEDIANS Artist Aye Jay is known for a skewed take on pop art, from his Gangsta Rap Coloring Book to his street art-referencing posters for comedians like Patton Oswalt and Neil Hamburger.

For the company Shirts and Destory, Jay riffed on punk and metal logos as representations of stand-ups and comedy writers. But part of his approach combines suitable bands with their funny counterparts, like merging the late, dark satirist Bill Hicks with the Misfits logo or adapting Dead Kennedys’ DK with an image of equally polarizing Louis C.K. While the union between Jerry Seinfeld and Social Distortion is a little off-base, Jay’s profundity for bopping pop culture on its head is deftly displayed through the series.2011 was a watershed year for Gosling. He had five films in theaters and for those who had forgotten about him since The Notebook were re-enthralled, marking him as America’s Boyfriend for the year. In the wake of his resurgence, Tumblr became a hotbed for Barbie-ing the actor into a bevy of fantasy roles from feminist to typographer, building on the Fuck Yeah Ryan Gosling/Hey Girl meme. Each blog posted pictures of him, replete with persona-appropriate love notes.
