Thought that Bushwick Bill was the only player in the Short Rap game? You thought wrong. Actually, you’re pretty much correct, but there have been a couple of other minor contenders that you may have forgotten…

Bar None

Once a rap group reaches a certain level, they can spawn off-shoot groups. There was a brief craze of naming crews as the ‘Baby’ version of an established brand, which resulted in The Poison Clan being dubbed ‘The Baby 2 Live Crew’ on their first LP and Too Much Trouble taking on the ‘Baby GETO Boys’ title. In sticking to the script, they attempted to out-do their seniors by recruiting a white midget redneck to the group. Bar None had a brief but glorious run, and will forever be remembered for his contributions to Ignorant Rap on songs such as ‘Invasion Of The Purse Snatchers’ and ‘Take The Pussy’. You can see him in action in the ‘Fugitives On The Run’ video, before he was unceremoniously kicked-out of the group after Ghetto MC and Drunk D tried of the gimmick.

Joe C

Kid Rock‘s weed carrier is sadly no longer with us, but during his brief time in the spotlight he informed us that he was ‘three foot high with a ten foot dick’ and got himself a Simpsons cameo.

Verne Troyer

Not actually a rapper, but he did a parody video of ‘Hard Knock Life’ in one of the Austin Powers movies and had a sex tape, which is more important these days than actually rapping.

Bushwick Bill

The Little Big Man is the undisputed GOAT of little rappers, as ‘Size Ain’t Shit’ demonstrated. It’s also worth noting that ‘Ever So Clear’ is one of the greatest rap songs ever, as it manages to perfectly combine comedy and tragedy as Bill recounts that infamous night when he tried to get his girl to shoot him in the head. Salute!
