Good Rap

For the bitches and the bling, I'd say.

Malik B., who is no longer with the crew, due to his awful drug habit. I've also seen Skratch beatbox with G. Love (of G. Love and Special Sauce) and partied with Black Thought at the St. Patrick's Day party. All of the original guys were students at CAPA in South Philly. That is the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts. Their new white-guy bassist (Owen Biddle) is the scion of one of Philly's richest and oldest families, and he was in The Trolleyvox, an indie-rock band who played my house in West Philly. I've partied with so many musicians and actors, I am practically a Philebrity at this point.

Here is a video from the ultimate Philebrity:

There's only one rapper impressing me right now. I think his name is MURS, or something like that. He's the guy with the weird hair.

Also, I heard a rapper named Papoose do a rap where he went all through the ABC's and back, only rapping with words that started with A, then B, and so on. Very impressive.

As far as I know, MURS has no hair. Are you talking about Shock G? He did a video with MURS, and also brought his alter ego, Humpty Hump.

YouTube - Murs - Risky Business(ft. Shock G and Humpty)

Edit: NVM, Murs has weird hair now too. But perhaps not as weird as Shock G's. He was hilarious on Loveline a couple of months ago btw.

Edit again: that video is NSFW.

This is MURS. I'm pretty sure. I tried to do a image search for Shock G, but all i get back is those damn watches.



edit: and Ivy knows about hip-hop?! Whodda thunk it.

BTW you can see a bald MURS as well as a funny-hairded Shock G (and of course HH is always fun) in that video I linked to.

Alphabetical Slaughter - Papoose

He is/was deff one of the big underground mixtape artists out there. If your interested I have a bunch of songs by him.


Lets play monopoly - Papoose feat Mario( I actually don't mind him singing the chorus in this, granted it is ripped from one of his most commercial songs, which by the way i hated)


Head of State - Papoose and Saigon

I liked that video. Humpty is hilarious, especially his opening rap. Hopefully this kind of rap starts to replace what mainstream rap has going on now.
