IMO the greatest rapper of all times was a cat named Orange Juice Jones who caught his girlfriend fooling around on him. He did a hit record called The Rain to her and he instantly became the hero of all males from my generation. Here is a little bit of the rap:

Hey baby how ya doin, come on in here. Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you. First thing let me hang up your coat. How was your day. Did you miss me. You did? Yeah, I missed you too. I missed you so much that I followed you today. That's right now close your mouth, cause you were cold busted. Now just sit down here. I'm upset with you and I don't know what to do. My first impulse was to run up on you and do a Rambo. I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you. But I didn't want to mess up. That thirty seven hundred dollar lynx coat you wearing, come out of it. I called up the bank and took out every dime. Then I cancelled all your credit cards. I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought you. Don't look in that closet because everything you came here with is packed up and waiting for you in the quest room. I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds and guccci handbags. I gave you things you couldn't pronounce but now all I can give you is advice. Now get out of here and go on with that alley-coat-wearing punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumcake I saw you with cause you dismissed. That's right silly rabbit, tricks are for kids. You without me is like cornflakes without the milk. This is my world. You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut. Now git on out of here.

I tell you Queen I can barely say the words without singing and crying. Juice was a genius. I don't know why males loved this song so much or why this song was Juice's only hit record.

Eminem's got skillz, no question. He wouldn't have been my choice, but I can't throw salt on him, either.

Queen, I went back and re-read the lyrics to Walking in the Rain. The marvelous creativity, sheer beauty and unique genius of the lyrical styling of Jones made me cry all over again. Jones picture should be placed on that high hill with the 4 presidents for this great moment of pure genius and clarity. Men and little boys were wayward and without the proper way to leave a woman until Jones had this great moment of clarity, gave us directions and set us free.

Equally, compelling is Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five for the song, The Message.

Of modern times rapper, though; I gotta go with Dr. Dre of Compton, CA. Em and Nem is a good rapper though. He is what he say he is otherwise why would he say he is.

I love that Orange Juice Jones piece, Walt. Thanks for making my day. The only thing missing is sending copies of the nude photos to her boss.
