Cruel,
Cruel Email From Deep Within the Bowels of Slacker Hell
Send all comments or ideas
to Shizzy Joyce.
These
are actual emails from actual humans... plus Shizzy. THEY ARE REAL. Please
forgive us and enjoy!
Greetings Shizzlers!
Slackers like myself usually don't listen to rap music but after listening
to Eminem and watching 8 Mile, I figured it was about time to start my
own [imaginary] record label so that other aspiring rap artists could
compete for the chance at a lucrative record contract. Now that my parents
are charging me rent to live in their basement, I need some income...
Enjoy!

Hello!
This is Alan from Berlin. Thank you for your e-mail. I want to introduce
me to you. I am very talented. I already recorded a disc,
and I already had many performances in clubs and in schools. And
everybody liked it. They were bouncing like at a real concert.
I can send you my CD if you want to. Here I sell it myself. I sold
About 50 cds. The lyrics and beats are made by myself. It took about
1.5 years to record it. And everybody here like it and think that
I can be on the same position like many other internationally known
rappers. If you give me your address I will send you my CD. So please
write back if you are interested. peace up
ALAN (Master Alan)

Hello!
This is a text called MY LIFE. I wrote it by myself.
MY LIFE:
I like rappers like you 50 Cent and I want to be there where you
are Too. But its a hard way, but it may someday yo happen
I mean somebody Like Michael Jackson Cause I study hard my first
performances in clubs
----BREAK!!!----
lets go I dont want so many years till I am a big male
because of all the pain and all the tears I want to get my records
now , can you tell me how ? --- WOW thats it than I can do
it Cause I have my own style while other motherfuckers imitate Dmx
and Slim Shady But I am ready and steady to go , and to create our
style the MO I dreamed about that For example Mack 10, who got Ferraris
and Mercedes Benz
Refrain :
This is my life from the beginning to the now
Yes I did it(yo) I take the wow
A one like Lil Bow Wow now you say wow wow
And you ask me who who??
I started at home, I wrote a poem
And I made it on my own
I gave up? not I tried again and again
Till Ive had my fans.
I always wrote songs in my free time, tried to rhyme, word by word
Sometimes it hurts, because it was against my fucking Dad but I
went
On with The pen in my hand, just had twenty cent, bought a new one
and to have fun again, my brother too when he got home with a chic
from a club and then always the words I heard
listen (ahhhh)
Next day, I went to school one step nearer to rule
Come home, stay home, study at home to get my way and everything
on
Its hard work either people think you just make some concerts
But thats not all because you have to be strong and tall in
this Business which can be very long
Refrain (1x)
I dont know when I started but I loved that , to make beats
and lyrics
in the backseat I went to the studio and recorded beats which meet
my voice which can bring much noise some were annoyed but you cant
tell me --hey-- Because I do my thing , I cant be stopped
, and I dont get rubbed And I dont give a fuck !!!
And I dont want to live in his block 85, everybody has a knife
And they beat there wives and speak the same dialect not very weak
Because of 20 gram Weed so they are flying and trying to get more
Arent you bored with taking it and hating other for your faults
I have created my own world the MO which is getting bigger so..
Refrain (3x)
Hope you like it
Master Alan

Well done Alan! I like your style. We initially got hundreds of
submissions and I can already tell you will be on our shortlist.
We are asking that our next submissions premise be a song
about a topic of relevance in the world today. The war in the Middle
East, AIDS in Africa, unemployment here in the States, rampant herpes
among adult kayakers, etc, are all issues in the public consciousness
that we feel aren't addressed enough by rap artists. We here at
Shizzy feel that the "bling bling, my rims are bigger than
yours" party rap scene is doomed. We feel that a more politically
aware rap scene will emerge. So, we are asking our finalists to
pen a rap song about a relevant topic concerning the world we live
in. We know this will be challenging, but we feel that rapping about
having money and blasting people is becoming a thing of the past.
We want Shizzy to be on the forefront of a new era in rap music.
Rappers who care! I look forward to reading your next submission.
Sincerely,
Richard Callahan

Hello!
This is just a short text about the topics you asked me to write
about. It's not a whole song.
Text:
So this is about the middle east, my feelings are very deep, for
Example when the US plain coming hes pushing the red button
result explosion like when a ocean is exploding/ this is what is
happening over there, where you have to fight for your life, US
is coming there [where] this is what people are thinking over there
/ they can not go anywhere is that fair no I dont think so,
so why dont you stop doing this shit to them /and are taking
life away / they want to keep it/ they do it every night and day
they pray for it/ but
Although they have nothing eat (eat) they dont know where
to sleep
Some hours/ they can not take a shower without being scared they
have to beware of you I pity you for being in this situation; it's
the fault of the US Nation
Many people are doing war for money some people do it and think
its Funny
some are felling nice and think they are sunny boys but dont
you give the kids a short smile with some toys
..theyre
the future the boys and girls all over the world So give yourself
motivation with helping other poor nations
..
Tell me what is coming to your mind when you try to find a reason
for poorness diseases and war. I mean do it yourself and work work
moreThe one who are seeing the world from one side are damaged in
their brain. They never had a fucking aim, they just stayed the
same, the one who should blame themselves for living in wealth cause
of their parents help.

Alan ,
I am very impressed with your lyrical content and the flow of the
song. Many of the aspiring rappers we have been in contact with
have not sent us a song as good as yours. I actually almost cried
-- especially about the part where you say the girls and boys are
the future. Anyway, we applaud your effort and recognize your ability
to pen a song and teach us a lesson about the Middle East at the
same time. We have broken down the list to four finalists and I
am happy to report you are one of the four. In tournament fashion
we are pitting the four finalists against each other in a battle
rap situation. We are aware that battling is something usually done
live but at this point we will have to stick to email. Our four
finalists are from different regions in the world including Britain,
Los Angeles, Chicago and some whigger in Okahoma. Here is where
you stand Alan. You will be facing a guy from Chicago that goes
by the name Dr. Darko. He is quite gifted but don't worry because
he wrote a pointless rap about our the US reliance on oil consumption
and the possibly of hydrogen cells powering cars. How stupid is
that?
Anyway, You get to fire the first shot in the battle. Simply write
a short bit about why you are the best rapper and how the competition
will get stoned if they face you. Your typical battle rap. . I hope
you are up for playing. Upon receiving your submission I will send
it to Dr. Darko and I'll get his response to you.

Hello!
This is Master Alan. Here is the text against Dr. Darko :
Darko listen!
I am the best cause I got a new flow and a good (good) represented
Show
Which is shown by me the one the world havent yet seen
Which you wont ever be, I dont have to be mean
But its me who the world wants to see
Sorry DARRKO BUT I AM CLEAN
I got the right head to be a rap-superstar
Cause I can also mention topics like the war
So please DR. DARKO wait, you need a little break
Because against my lyrically style youre a fake
Look here Im taking you the deal away, so better stay in Chicago,
Mrs. Darko Maybe Im from a place where rap is unknown like
Glasgow
But you cant be better than me cause its of my interest
if you have
Grown up in Chicago or from NYC
I am writing this rap-letter, to tell you who the fuck is much betta
I let ya feel deep, I am the one who is coming nearer to a contract
with my feet I gonna fire you in the ground cause I got a 100 times
better sound So you can be sure that you are out of the deal
Cause its always of my interest how old you are, how tall
you are
cause I trust myself That Im a rap-superstar
And Im a cool guy, you ask me why? Try to find out I tell
you Darko
Cause this is what Im all about
I swear No doubt!

Alan,
I've got unbelievable news about Dr. Darko. I have just gotten
word that we have been fooled and that Dr. Darko is actually former
rap legend Vanilla Ice (aka Rob Van Winkle ) and he has been messing
with us. We would really like you to break it to him that we know
who he is and that we are calling him out. Do it right and there
will be a future for you at Shizzy Records.
Richard Callahan
P.S. Be ruthless, Alan because we are quite angry at Mr. Winkle
for ruining rap music for white people.

I tell ya, youre out of the game, so stop blaming yourself
In your diss you said you dress like a crow
Thats the reason why you fucker arent shown

You are so unknown I dont know where are you from!
Maybe from the dirty south
You wont ever be on my lyrically side
So VANILLA ICE be sure that you will be called out tonight

Yo Yo Yo Master Alan and Callahan,
This is Vanilla and I ain't no whigga.
I apologize for straight up hijacking your competition. Yo I am
just crazy illin here lately and I don't know what got into me.
Usually nobody wants to battle with me cuz they jealous of my licks
and try to copy my hairdo, but I invented white rap and I can do
it again better this time, just watch me. I gotta a new image that's
off the hook. I'm gonna make Eminem look like Boy George. I do this
whole pirate thing now and nobody knows who I am because of the
patch and hat. My great great grandfather was a pirate so I'm paying
tribute to him. I would like to battle Master Alan with his best
pirate rap. Sorry for messing with ya but I think you are a punk.
Vanilla Ice

Alan,
I'm glad Vanilla was mature enough to apologize. He's been trying
to get on Shizzy Records since we launched so he shows up every
time we have a competition. We might be interested in signing him
since this whole pirate thing is so original. I hope you don't mind
but could you please try to do a pirate rap. It's between you two,
so give it your best shot.

Hello !
I have some questions at you: You said that Vanilla Ice, me, the
one of Los Angeles and from Britain are the finalists.What is happening
with the one of Los Angeles and from Britain? And what is about
me? I would like going on in the competition and I have a lot of
motivation now, but tell me why I should write something about pirates.
That weren't my great great great parents, so I really don't know
a lot about this topic. And can you give me maybe a website of Shizzy
records? I believe in Shizzy, but you have to know that this is
just the internet, and you can't be always 100% sure that you are
at a real company. This is not against you but it would be good
for me. I will give it a try (rap about pirates), and I hope for
answers towards my questions.

Alan,
I understand your skepticism. Vanilla Ice blindsided us with his
phony entry into the competition and we apologize for him. The Shizzy
Records website offline but just temporarily until we pay the phone
bill. Fucking collection agents! Anyway, the company is new but
we are really coming together right now. We just got a water cooler
and everyone here is excited about the new record player. I assure
you that Shizzy Records is real. Don't get intimidated because of
Vanilla Ice. I'm sure you can write a pirate rap a lot better than
he can. If not, then I thank you for your time and wish you luck
on future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Richard Callahan
Will I actually get someone to write a rap about
pirates? Of course I will!

Hello!
Here is the pirate rap. Hope you like it:
Text :
Check it out ....this is Master Alan
My great great great father was one too
People were scared about them and they laughed about you
He was a pirate they went from state to state from place to place
They fight from face to face their whole days of the life
They tried to find gold
Years later they people sold it
This is vanilla ice, my new style, during and while
You were laughing about me and thought that Im so shy
I found a new sound kids count 5, 6, 7, 8,
Part 1:
This is Master Alan takin you to my roots
When pirates killed for gold and some boats
This is the way my grand father chose
Im telling you about it cause I got a new flow
And Im proud of where I come from
Pirates always have a big mouth
Im telling you who Im against
f.ex. the south where politicians come from
they are sitting in the parliament
and takin peoples last cents
so you see pirates in the parliament
pirates havent yet die
they just dont like my great great great dad
what makes me sometimes sad that really isnt meant cheering
up
I just want ya to know that pirates havent yet stop
Theyve just changed in a way
But they play the same roll
But without a big show
Pirates always grow
In the past they were in the front known
Master Alan

The goal of this column was to get someone to write a rap about pirates.
I have no idea why.
Peace out,
