he is on the phone commercial with Jermaine Dupri and Jeezy. Who is he and where did he come from? Im listenin 2 some shit by him that is crazy as hell. Talkin about sodomizing my father and then spending the night at my mom's house! Crazier than Em just about.

Info?

I read something about him the other day, got booed opening for the Chili Peppers or something (and the Chili Peppers defended him). But then I saw that ad and was totally confused at how completely lame he was.

But this is kind of, um, interesting. He's kind of annoying, but there's something sorta brave about it.

I like him. I don't know how the whole adrogenous, flamboyant thing is gonna play over in hip hop but maybe he'll be the frontrunner in a new sub genre of hip hop where that'll work.

I don't know, man. He fits better in the artsy rock genre where he can be free to express himself the way he want to WITHOUT trying to rap. I mean, why he's trying to Iggy Pop-ized hip-hop?

I don't know but I'm on youtube right now searching for his videos and I like every song I've heard so far. I think it's crazy enough to work. I don't see any middle ground either this guy is gonna be insanely huge or he's gonna be absolutely nothing mark my words. I really think it can work though, not as hip hop as it is now but as new sub genre because I don't see the hip hop stations rushing to play this guy here in Dallas.

I'm thinking the way it's probably gonna go is like it has went previously when someone tries something completely different, he'll never be hugely popular but he'll inspire someone who'll water what he's doing down enough to be publically accepted and that guy will be insanely huge.

I have seen some of his videos. The guy is obviously off his rockers, then again, those guys always seem to be cool to me. Maybe that's why Mickey was kinda interesting to view. His lyrics are bonkers tho.

Being a bisexual prostitute on drugs is harder than Eminem. I didnt think any1 can rap about this stuff with no thought about whomever may judge him. I really like this dude, and I am gonna buy his album

I listened to the other tracks, and I don't really like them at all. Beats aren't very good.

"Waiting to Die" is going on my iPod though

this dude got his start working with simon rex. how serious should he be taken?

i've known about him for a while too and considered getting his cd because he seems so different but his beats are not strong enough perhaps i'll pick up his next cd if it ever drops.

Not very, with rhymes like this:

"I'm Mickey Avalon, the kosher salami. For $20 you get Chachi, but $40 gets you Fonzie."

Yeah i know...he just needs a good producer and some good promotion. His first album is more like Eminem's "Infinity"

The beats aren't really straight hip hop, I don't know if I'll call it alternative... hey, yeah thats it it's alternative hip hop. I like the music on everyone I listened to personally.
