But now name me some other rappers named after specific drum machines.

these guys all are (or started out) as human beatboxes, not rappers. that's why they're named after the most common drum machine of the era in which beatboxing flourished.

D-Nice called himself "the TR-808" a lot, Ready Rock C was the "Human Linn Drum" etc etc

so Pete Nice was named after a guy named after a drum machine, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
― some dude, Friday, 11 May 2012 14:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
wait, there a d-nice and a pete nice? so confusedd

Also I knew davy dmx but not human dmx
Though I think it's kinda weird for pete nice to drop it in there and have ppl not assume he's talking about DMX....dude had been around for awhile before he blew up, with that born loser stuff, but it's not out of the possibility that a really young dmx and just could have performed together

Edward III, it's ready to get them confused, just remember pete nice was the prime minister of canada at the the time and also rapped in the ny scene, camron and company did a concept album about his life called ”diplomatic immunity”

to be fair it was a Deadspin editor's job to clean this up, not Pete Nice's

Pete Nice probably forged the anecdote like he forges baseball memorabilia amirite

That's awesome, but they could not have picked a less MCA-centric track, bass aside.

The bass is that song though, ad much as the suspenders and mustaches.

I'm sure Yauch would rather these people spend some time reading up on Tibetan oppression or do a shift at a soup kitchen, but I'm not gonna deny people the opportunity to deal with his death in a way that makes them comfortable.

"Sabotage" video is credited to Jonze, not Hornblower (whereas "Sure Shot" is credited to both)

yeah, there's the misconception lately but it was definitely a Jonze video
