my favorite emcee...

okay. i know. he's white.
so anyways, playdough is the illest!
i used to apologize for the fact that he's white and why is your favorite rapper a white dude, first eminem is hailed by XXL as the greatest rapper alive (to which i say "whatever..."), and now samax's favorite rapper isn't most def or common, it's some white dude!

yeah, but he sure can flow...

like many white rappers who don't try extra hard to "sound black" (for best results, picture me rolling my eyes), playdough has been tagged by some of his critics as having a voice that is "annoying at times", but i'm giving props here because i cut for this cat's rhymes. that makes him sound cool to me...

whether rhyming 'longside any one of the several groups he's in (ill harmonics, phonetic composition, and the mighty deepspace5... i think that's it...), guesting on other cats' records, or flyin' solo, this man is the real deal! even when he does a song i don't like (can't make an omelet without breakin' some eggs), he always spits nice!

so for what it's worth, he's been my favorite, for a while now (it was mos def before that... he needs to do some new stuff if he wants his spot back!). his only real competition for my top spot right now is Bavu Blakes... but that's a whole 'nother blog... so if you're watching playdough, bask in the glory!

go here and peep a samplin' off his unrealisticly dope debut solo joint, Lonely Superstar. that record is crrrraaaaazy! also, go to his mySpace page and listen to joints from his new record, Don't Drink The Water.

anyways, that's it. happy hipHop fam'ly...
holla!
samax.
