White rappers used to be a novelty, some better than others, but by now we are all used to the phenomena of the honkey flow. The 90’s saw an over-saturation of white-boy wonders, the new millennia, however, stepped it up a notch. A Hassidic rapper, eh? Listen, if you aren’t spraying bitches with beer cans or don’t have a giant inflatable cock at your live show, then you aren’t breaking any new ground. Your pc, culturally diverse, novelty image is perfect for this millennium’s 99 cent bin. I know – I might have a bias, you put out that shit 2 weeks before my Bulgarian-thunder mixtape dropped. Yeah, ass-wipe call this beef, call it novelty beef and watch your back.

uhhhh, this isn't rap dude....have you heard of reggae?
- robrockstar0
He is good. And he has something to say. Unlink MOST any of the other rappers out there. Who know about 20" rims and 'Big Pimpin'. I'll support him.

i think it's great. reggae has always been religious in nature.

Going to see him next month.

They play him all the time on the radio here. He's talented no doubt, but I'm growing a little tired of hearing his songs 3 times per day. I heard his live performance is top notch btw. I think he's going to be at cochella too.

He's coming to my city next month. I would be interested in show good the live show is too.

he's fun live, he's got about 5-6 super tight songs, and you can see more jewish people smokin' splifs than you can imagine. def. a memorable show.

(Feb 21 06, 11:16)actually he's not. hasidic reggae acts have been around for years, they are just now getting popular.
you should also check out Yosi Piamenta, aka The Hasidic Hendrix http://www.piamenta.com/main.htm…
he's also quite talented.

Don't beleive the hype.
He turned Hasidic when he was 18. He also makes reggae. Reggae is for black people from Jamaica. Not from white nouveau-hasids-hippies from Pensylvania who turned Hasidic cause he was "bored."
- reggae may have come from Jamaica, but it's not ONLY FOR them. fuckin' amonospaced
- yup, like saying indie is only for the UK considering it all came from the beatlesmoldero
- ohhhhhsnap0
... no one saw that coming.
no, wait...
i did!
