Mia gave me this CD: 'Live it out' by Dutch singer /
songwriter Alain Clark. A couple of great songs that I've enjoyed much lately.
She was actually looking for Sean Kingston as I particularly like his song
There's nothin'. (featuring 'The DEY' and Juelz Santana).
This made me remember a sketch I've made a while ago,
after seeing rapper Eminem's official acting debut, the semi-autobiographical
movie "8 Mile".
As Eminem has said, this movie (released in November
2002), is not an account of his life, but a representation of growing up in
Detroit. An important part of this film is based upon a rappers battle. Tough neighborhood,
tough life, great way to express yourself on stage though. Now rappers are
great marketeers. In almost each and every song they will mention their own
name. Add a little bit of 'slang' of the 'hood' and you'll understand the
title. Rappa. My name is Rappa. Please let the chorus go, Sean!
