NY based producer Blockhead & rapper Open Mike Eagle join MC Nocando & Jeff Weiss this week to talk about alter egos in a special episode taped from Jeff’s apartment. The guys discuss Rammellzee, Positive K’s female vocals on “I Got A Man,” Bushwick Bill’s “Chuckie,” Kool Keith as Dr. Octagon, Eminem’s evil alter ego Slim Shady, the super villain MF DOOM, Madlib’s high pitched rapping alter ego Quasimoto, and Blockhead’s Party Fun Action Committee. Plus, they talk about the more recent alter egos such as Serengeti’s Chicago Bears fan alter ego Kenny Davis, Flying Lotus as the cartoon rapper Captain Murphy, and Snoop Dogg’s Rastafarian awakening as Snoop Lion.

Open Mike Eagle is fucking legit. Jesus I wished I lived on the west coast.

it is ridiculous to have a conversation about rap alter-egos and not talk about spice-1 and ray gangester*. Spice passes out and dudes get "bucked in dey mouth" by a jamaican dude.



I understand, you guys are studio gangster as fuck.

PS Obscure-ish gangster raps are mostly the purview of area whites, yeah?

NO LUV 4 HUMPTY HUMP?

We had to cut out the Humpty Hump segment because it got long and rambling and drunk. Very drunk. And also, no one liked my Humpty Hump impression, which I still insist is excellent.
