Ok, I don’t understand it. Here in Phoenix, we have KISS 104.7. It’s a top 40′s station equivalent to Z100 in New York. They play a lot of rap songs and recently, for some reason, I’ve been listening.
I’ve noticed at the begining of rap songs rappers identify themselves. I am noticing more and more frequently that their is an increased amount of collaboration between rappers. So in the beginning of the song there is this medley of rapper names. I’ve decided that when I call people from now on, I’ll introduce myself with a bass rich beat. Then, I’ll commence to say things like, “Z Unit, 04. Until I am dead, and in a box. Uh. Yeah. I’m holding it down gangster style.” Then, I’ll add in some catchy horn sound effects or maybe a really cool violin melody. Followed by the obligatory, “Little John, WHAT!?” and then finally, ‘Yo, it’s Josh.”
God help me, I’m way too white andI love making fun of Hip Hop way too much.
