Little Rappers
Wassup all!
I’ve been slacking on my search of craziness this month but decided since PassTheMic.com is site to promote the small independent artists I’d take it one step further and highlight the real small artists, midget rappers.
These people while not being tall enough to reach the microphone still rock the shit out of it. I’ve scooted about the web trying to collect enough information to make this somewhat informative but since I’m terrified of midgets I had to have someone help with my research (shout out to my man Dave). I didn’t want to see the pictures and have nightmares again.
Phife Dawg: Height: 5 feet 3 inches
Coming in at the top of the height chart the “Five Foot assassin” would barley come up to my shoulder? Standing on top off all the money he’s made he’d probably be somewhere around 50ft tall.
Too Short: Height: 5 feet 1 inch
This nasty rappin’ West Coast rapper comes in a close second and has been on the scene forever. I remember being like 12 or 13 and hiding in my friends basement listening to “Blow Job Betty”. Everything he lacks in height he spits in game.
Akil: Height: 4 feet 7 inches
Somewhat newer than most of the people on my diminutive list Akil from Jurassic 5 seems like some kind of freaky Hobbit/Dwarf with an octopus on his head. Its no wonder on the intro of their website (www.jurassic5.com) they have him sitting like 10 feet closer to the camera.
DCQ: Height: 4 feet 2 inches
The head of Medina Green is DCQ, who barely makes it to the knees of the other big time rappers. Like most vertically challenged rappers, DCQ suffers from a Napoleon complex and seems to try and be a little too hard for someone so small.
Joe C (RIP): Height: 3 feet 9 inches
Kid Rock's pint sized partner was not only legally a midget, but had the lifestyle you'd expect in a midget performer: heavy drinking, weed smoking, and big time hoe pimping. He’s also dead, peace out bro.
Bushwick Bill: Height: 3 feet 5 inches
My mind must be playing tricks on me. This dude is just nuts. The first time I saw Bushwick he was on Oprah talking about the rap scene. He was wearing his normal clothes and a machete hanging around his neck that went down to his knees. After they hit it big Bushwick went to town on a bottle of Everclear and ended getting one of his eyes blown apart with a gun by his girlfriend (check out the cover of “We can’t be stopped”). Ever listen to his sex rhymes? Based on his height and the lengths of his arms, unless he's got midget hoes, the acts he describes would be impossible.
