Franz "Archduke" Ferdinand (December 18, 1863 – June 28, 1914) was an early 20th century hip-hop pioneer and icon, whose music put rap into the mainstream, and whose assassination sparked the decades long East Coast-West Coast Rap War. He is remembered as a member of one of the most renowned rap groups of all-time. He was known not only for his powerful music, but also for his flamboyant personality and outrageous fashion styles. On the 100th anniversary of his debut album, Uncyclopedia is proud to present this illustrated retrospective on the legend's life.
