Raw Shit and Rubber Duckies

A summer's day in Newark, where famous MCs roam but unknown MCs make better drama

This experiment resulted in a lot of hesitant "Oh shit, it's . . . a paper plate!"lyricism, but it makes for surreal, compelling drama when a hardass dude looking to outshine Big Daddy Kane is forced to wax rhapsodic about . . . a rubber ducky. When Big Daddy Kane himself took the stage hours later, he first politely rattled off the titles of all the demos, mixtapes, and DIY releases he'd been handed throughout the day, giving the feverishly self-promoting unknown studs a brief moment of celebrity. Then he ripped through "Ain't No Half-Steppin' " to rampant crowd elation. A little half-steppin', though, can sometimes be more fun.
