Some rappers happen to be thoughtful, intelligent people. Sometimes Rocks Off has some of them here discussing issues relevant to their culture.
This Week’s Panel: Bun B, ESG, Delo, UZOY, Surreall, Les, Hollywood FLOSS, Eskabel, hasHBrown, Yves and more.
Not Invited: Plies again. That guy, sheesh.
This Week’s Prompt: What is your favorite non-rap activity?
Delo: Bowling and humming the national anthem in empty soda water cans.
Surreall: Go-cart racing would have to be my fav. But I just went skydiving and that really tops everything.
Kyle Hubbard: Reading. Mostly comics.
Rap Round Table: Which ones?
KH: I stick to Batman mostly. There is a reason why those movies are so good. The source material they borrow from is brilliant.
Les: Cars.
RRT: What do you mean? Like, build them? Fix them? Eat them?
Hollywood FLOSS: Watching Parks and Recreation episodes.
Eskabel: Working out.
RRT: I probably could’ve guessed that, what with your arms looking like crocodile torsos.
hasHBrown: Easy. Playing golf.
Yves: Homemaking.
UZOY: Video games, XBOX in particular.
RRT: Which games?
U: Mass Effect 1-3, Call of Duty Black Ops, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3.
RRT: I’m sad that I only know what one of those is.
U: Do yourself a favor and don’t learn about them. That’s about 120-plus in game hours combined.
D-Risha: I’m a huge horror movie buff, so I watch a lot of ’80s slasher movies/sci-fi and anime.
ESG: PS3 online.
KAB: I play 2K [basketball video game] and smoke.
Dustin-Prestige: Origami.
Bun B: My granddaughter.
Scooyunda: Being a father.
Noon: I hike the trails at Memorial Park with my daughters. It’s fun and free.
