I’m rarely at a loss for words… but Tropical Storm Terrence… I mean Hurricane Chris has brought me to that point. He was recently interviewed (for some odd reason) by SoJones.com and he talked about his upcoming album Unleashed, which he says is made up of mostly freestyles (yesss!), his sequel to the song “Halle Berry” that will be named after a popular R&B chick (more fire!) and then he went and said this….
“I’m the best rapper alive, put a mic in front of me and you gon’ see what’s up! You know they duckin’ me they dodging me; I’m that new kid on the block they’re scared of, that they know is gettin’ all the girls! But they be like ‘oh him?’ (laughs). But you know it’s hurting your feelings every time I get on the freestyle and wreck it till they can’t even listen to an instrumental no more. We got a lot of cats who say they freestyling, and you turn on the radio and you hear the same thing that they said they was freestyling a minute ago, you hear that wrote down, you know? A lot of these clowns is just what I said: clowns.”
*sigh* Look, I don’t care if you’re sober, drunk, high or being waterboarded there’s no excuse for this type of rhetoric. There’s so many reasons why his comments border on the edge on delusional and good ol’ fashion insanity, but here’s four right off the top…
1.) Prior to even hearing him rap one word, his rap name alone disqualifies him from even being mentioned in the same breath as “the best rapper alive”.
2.) His only 2 “hit” singles are “A Bay, Bay” and “Halle Berry (She’s Fine)“. I really shouldn’t have to go into any details regarding either song and how they don’t even put him in the same stratosphere as someone who should be considered “the best rapper alive”.
3.) Look at the picture of Hurricane Chris above……he looks like he could be Da Brat’s fraternal twin sister. I’m sorry, but if you’re a man and you look like a woman, who looks like she’s trying to look like a man….I just can’t take you serious.
Bonus:
Da Brat – B-Side Ft. Notorious B.I.G.
I think a lot of people forgot about this song.
4.) Back in June he was invited to rap his song “Halle Berry (She’s Fine)” for the Louisiana House of Representatives (why I don’t know). The best rapper alive, let alone any person with an ounce of common sense, would’ve graciously declined that offer due to fact that they would look like a complete ass. But nope, not Tsunami Samuel….unfortunately he proudly rose to the occasion…
…to make matters even worse, when asked how such an opportunity came along, his response was:
“Well you know that’s the spot where they do a lot of deciding for laws and regulations that’s gonna affect my people and my community. I don’t see nobody from the heart of my community that get to sit down and voice their opinions on how they feel it should be ran. So I had to give it to em’ from my point of view. A lot of dudes and a lot of women be making laws that ain’t right… so I’m comin’ in sayin’ ‘nah, we may need to do this a different way!’…I’m coming from the younger generation so I kinda know how to deal with my people.”
Oooohhhhh! So the song “Halle Berry” really has a deep political meaning and it was made to promote change throughout the impoverished communities of New Orleans. Okay…..now I like that song.
