French artist David Redon's "Ads Libitum" Tumblr blog is a play on the latin phrase "Ad Libitum" (ad lib) that means "at one's pleasure" or "at liberty." Redon uses the blog to share his reimagined vintage advertisements that replace the actual subjects with all of your favorite rappers, singers, and other celebrities.

Kanye West becomes Rosie the Riveter, Outkast sells soap, and Pharrell is "happy" to sell toothpaste. Aaliyah, Nate Dogg, Micheal Jackson, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Bob Marley, and tons of others are featured in the funny images that we wish were used to sell these products. We included a gallery of a few of our favorites above, but you should definitely head to Ads Libitum to see the rest.
