Speaking to other "what the fuck is he?" and mis-diagnosed artists like Celph Titled, Louis Logic and Danger Mouse...it seems that although I have this problem the most, we all get pretty tired of it. Despite answering the questions in numerous interviews and in songs, it just seems to get worse. Once again something irrelevant takes on more importance than the music itself.

Am I funny looking? Fuckin A right! My name is Kill Pretty and don't you dare get it twisted, hoe. Handsome Heartthrob is never me...EVER! And I can see people being confused, but even when I answer the questions...it just doesn't stop. Somebody actually asked if my Grandmother (who is brown skinned) is really my Grandmother...hahaha wow. I live in a neighborhood thats mostly Black Caribbean, so you may see somebody that looks like me more often (just not as funny looking). But you see all different skin and hair colors, features, etc. and they're not necessarily a product of mixed race parents or grandparents. That's just how it works. Enough genietics I ain't no damn scientist.

Pete Rock and Heavy D are cousins. Think about that. I normally wouldn't bother to entertain retarted shit like this (I held it off for 8 years), but people can't seem to let it go. In message board forums and various name drops on the internet, I've been labled Black, mixed, Mexican, White, Chinese, Uzbekastanian, Eskimo, one of the best Latino producers, one of the funniest White rappers and of course "it don't matter, he sucks anyway". I love that one...Mwah!

So (insert drumroll) without further ado...I present the "what the fuck is he?" Rapper Race Chart!!!

(Insert Game Show styled Theme Music here)

Here are our contestants-

J-ZONE: BLACK (and funny looking)

CELPH TITLED: CUBAN (with a flawlessly perfect beard)

LOUIS LOGIC: HALF BLACK/ HALF PUERTO RICAN (and little kids think he's Lenny Kravitz in the airport)

DANGER MOUSE: BLACK (and verrrry successful. making way more $$$ than you. green is the ONLY color that matters!)

MAJIK MOST: ITALIAN (and loves donkey ass and moonlights as a dolphin trainer)

MIGHTY CASEY: HALF WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN/ HALF BLACK JAMAICAN (and makes funny ass songs about White Girls)

waiting on confirmation from more "what the fuck are they?" rappers...more names to be added very soon...

There's the truth once and for all...and we're all proud of our races, whatever they are. But all that matters is the music, so go back to saying we suck as artists anyway. We like that...

The Pipettes - Mulder And Scully

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Gatalog (that's the four CD one, right?) is a fucking weird album to listen to because it's not in chronological order, so his voice switches from his Dutchmassive trill down to that BHB baritone. The end result is similar to watching Macauley Culkin in that Richie Rich movie.

towers of london - 'all you good good people'

― That one guy that quit, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, because ILX needs another "Nick Southall doesn't understand the young kids" thread.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

This album (although the title would of course have been "Excellent indie bands of today pay tribute to excellent indie bands of ten years ago") would have been quite nice, hadn't it been for the fact that I have generally very little interest in that kind of covers albums. It's OK if they come with Uncut or Mojo as a freebie, but otherwise, no.

― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

As for the compilation "Shit hip-hop-acts of today pay tribute to shit hip-hop-acts of ten (or even twenty) years ago, it would have to be delivered as an iPod with gigs and gigs of space.

Geir can you never type 'of course' ever ever again? Cheers

― blueski, Thursday, 19 April 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

In this case it was very much needed. Today, like 10 years ago, those indie bands are among the very best music out there. They are what the Billboard Hot 100 should have been crowded with, not the stuff that dominates today.

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 19 April 2007 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

also never write 'should' again.

― blueski, Thursday, 19 April 2007 12:19 (nineteen years ago)
