Today I learned something quite extraordinary, yes extraordinary! Turns out Tom Green is an amazing freestyle rapper. OK maybe “amazing” doesn’t quite explain the skills the man has. How good you say? Well Imagine a rapper with the skills of Mike D, Ad-Rock & MCA combined oh and maybe throw an Eminem in there with a little Jin and Canabis. That Good!
Just listen how he lays it down with Xzibit when he had him over for the The Tom Green Show some time back.
Turns out Tom had a little career in rap in the early 90′s with some success. Via Wikipedia:
[Tom Green's] Rap career
In the early 1990s, Green had a short-lived career as a rapper in a group called Organized Rhyme. They were nominated for a Juno Award in 1993 for Best Rap Recording. He came back in 2005 with his rap group, The Keeping it Real Crew, featuring DJ EZ Mike of the Dust Brothers. In late 2005, Tom released his first solo rap album, titled Prepare For Impact. He has received offers from such rap artists as Spice 1 and Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys to appear on his raps. He has performed with Too Short, Flava Flav, Grand Buffet, Mickey Avalon, People Under the Stairs, Xzibit, and other popular rap artists on his Tom Green Live show. In early 2008 a second solo rap album titled Basement Jams was released in download only format. On his website, Green has stated intentions of releasing a new rap album in 2010.
