Doc Brown's favourite unintentionally funny rappers

Dig deep into this East Coaster’s back catalogue and you’ll find gems like, ‘Fuck that, live nigga of rap/And you can catch me with a Teletubbie, holding my gat’. Let that one sit with you for a moment…

When you sound as much like a goose and look as much like an extra from ‘Rastamouse’ as Ja does, it’s hard to keep a straight face through lines like: ‘Don’t get caught up in your Range Rover, pullin’ over/On the Westside highway shoulder, nigga I’ll blow ya’. Okay, Ja, if you say so.

Similarly gruff-voiced, DMX was once ruler of camp three. Passionate and very angry, X was consistently generous with his unwitting work for comedy fans. ‘I been doing this… 19 YEARS/Wanna fight somethin’? FIGHT THESE TEARS!’ will forever be a highlight for me.

Slurring his words in a gimp mask in the video for ‘Devil Wants My Soul’, Frenchie’s attempts at deepness (‘Hood got young niggas stressing, going bald/Came up, I was poor, now rosé I pour’) smack of that uncle who hasn’t moved on with his life getting drunk and doing impromptu speeches at your mum’s barbecue.
