How many rap show end with the rapper getting a titty-twister from some zit-faced teenager in the crowd?
Can you imagine 50 Cent finishing off his set, covered in sweat no shirt muscles bulging, when some fan jumps up yanks his nipple and runs off?
50 Cent would shoot him dead right there, along with half the audience and about 30 members of his entourage. The kid would be Swiss cheese.
But that is exactly what happened Tuesday night at the mc Chris show in Denver. Some random kid felt it was necessary to tweak mc’s nipple as he bid farewell.
It’s just one of many things you see at a mc chris show that would never happen to any other rapper.
Mc Chris, real name Chris Ward from Illinois, persona is far from the image most have in their mind from his squeaky high rhymes on his record.
The 32-year-old rapper strolls out on stage plops down his Apple notebook pulls up I-tunes and plugs I his mic. Frankly the short little white guy looks like any one of ten guys at the bar drinking cheap beer, which chris was most likely doing prior to going on stage.
After cuing up the ghost buster theme song and firing off a few quick lyrics, mc tells the audience, composed mostly off overweight Star Wars fans and skinny stoners, to shut up while he tests his levels.
Chris is quick on his feet and a genuinely good rapper, but it is hard to the where the persona ends and the character begins.
Most of his songs revolve around comic books, Star Wars, getting beat up and marijuana. But then keep in mind he got his start in the music business as the MC Pee Pants, a rapping spider on the Carton Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Over the course of his half an hour show at Denver’s Marquee Theater, Chris talks as much as he raps, including a five-minute tirade about how much it sucks that they killed off Captain America.
“If you don’t read comic books now would be a good time to get a beer or talk to a girl,” Chris yelled, before going into his tirade
It’s also worth noting mc chris was the opening act for Piebald, and by the time Piebald hit the stage majority of the crowd was gone.
Mc’s fan base runs deep and is loyal, because the bottom line is he is entertaining That’s why a 12-year-old hip hop fan can stand next to a 30-year-old Star Wars fan, whose only similarity is they both still live with there parents, and appreciate a middle-aged white guy joke about the cops not finding his stash.
Surreal? Perhaps, but his favorite kind of nut is the macadamia, so what are you going to do?
