The hip-hop world is a less than sensible place - lots of times, you're even required to clarify when bad means bad and when bad means good - so once a week we're going to get with a rapper and ask them to explain things. Something you always wanted to ask a rapper? Email sheaserrano@gmail.com.
Note: Scruncha Roo is super drummer Kyle Vento. We hear he's also referred to as God's Arms but we haven't verified that yet.
This Week's Rapper: Scruncha Roo
This Week's Prompt: T-Pain has a new project he's accidentally decided to call The Heath Ledger Project. Your task: Name as many tapes/songs/albums with equally bad names.

De La Soul's Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump Hey, let's try and make the title as ridiculous as possible, then let's go on TV and shout about how "rap with substance" gets overlooked.
Keith Murray's Rap-Murr-Phobia: Fear Of Real Hip-Hop Because when you think of hip-hop, you think of Keith Murray.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
