Rick Ross and Andy Samberg High-Lar-I-Ty!
Omg….look at Samberg’s face!

I’ve been bugging Complex EIC Noah about when this cover would go public ever since he gave me a sneak peek last month….it might be their best cover image ever. Art director Brent Rollins (Egotripland fam) and photographer F. Scott Schafer killed it with this spoof of the classic 70’s JAWS movie poster! Humor and pop culture reference like this recalls the great George Lois-designed Esquire Magazine covers from the 1960’s and it’s refreshing to see it amidst all the oversultry blue-steel celeb glam shoots. (see Complex’s reference image and some Esquire classics in this gallery)

Check out another amazing Rick Ross and Andy Samberg photo from Complex….as well as an excerpt of Joe La Puma’s cover story (plus a link to read in full!)
After the jump

Amazing! U can watch a short clip of Ross and Samberg on Complex, and read the full cover Q&A that JLP did, but here are 2 short excerpts that I liked:

What’s a lazy Sunday for Rick Ross?
R: Lounging in my Jordan shorts, my Gucci sandals, an ounce of weed, and a real thin Polo tee. And make sure it’s Polo because those T-shirts are real thin. You feel like you’re naked.

Andy, what’s a lazy Sunday for you?
A: Exactly like the song we do. Get some cupcakes, go see Chronicles of Narnia. If it’s not in theaters, watch it athome.

It’s safe to say you guys might not hang out on Sundays.
R: It’s a possibility. If I get stoned enough I could watch the shit he’s talking about.
A: That’s true. And I could easily wear a T-shirt that is very thin.
R: With some Jordan shorts.
A: With some Jordan shorts! See, we’re both super open-minded!

I also appreciated this awkward moment ; )

Does comedy rap get groupies?
A: No comment. [Laughter.]

We take it you have a girlfriend.
A: Yes.
R: She knows he has groupies. [Laughter.] He just doesn’t “at” them on Twitter.

DMs only, right?
[Laughter.]
A: We have lovely fans. Lovely fans and they’re all very supportive.

lol! Unclench, Andy.
