For Spoke Art’s 2nd annual, “Bad Dads: A Tribute to the Films of Wes Anderson” which opens this Saturday October 29th, 2011 at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco.
The agreement between the Oakland rapping guys was this: Each rapping guy would be allotted one section of the rap song to rap about whatever he wanted. The only exception was the Two Pack rapper, who would be rapping during the first and final block of the rapping song. This was because he was the leader and if the other Oakland rapping guys had any misgivings about that, then they certainly knew better than to say anything.
Even the backup rapping guys who were only allowed to chime in occasionally to respond to the lyrics knew that.
“We should all remember to rap about some of our own positive characteristics,” said one rapping guy. “That way, the listener trusts our interpretation of the subject matter.”
“Good idea!” said another rapper. “Then it’s like a resume!”
“Not bad,” said a backup rapping guy.
“Actually, I think perhaps we should each use our turn to compliment another rapper in the group,” said a voice from across the room.
Every head in the room turned, and there, standing in the doorway, was The Two Pack Rapping guy!
He continued.
“If we each choose a different rapping guy in the group to compliment, then by the end of the rapping song, each of us will have had something nice said about us.”
The rapping guys smiled. Some of the older ones shook their head in disbelief. Two Pack had done it again.
But suddenly, Two Pack frowned.
“What’s the matter?” asked one of the guys.
“I’m worried,” said Two Pack.
“Oh no!” said a different rapping guy.
“I’m worried…that I BROUGHT TOO MUCH HENNESSEY!” said Two Pack as he swung his arm out from behind his back, revealing a gigantic bottle.
The rapping guys cheered.
THE END.
