B-Lite, Blind Rapper


I could feel bad about putting B-Lite in a box, immediately relegating him to a specialty act: Blind Rapper. Except that the title on his home page reads "B-Lite, Blind Rapper," so to hell with it. B-Lite may not be for everyone. Imagine very white rapping combined with a strictly gangster lyrical sensibility. Actually, there's no reason to imagine, there are almost a dozen tracks available for free download.

B-Lite is crazy on drugs, and B-lite will break into your house and steal your fucking shit, okay? If it has not yet been made clear, B-Lite's music is profane, so use your context judgement. B-Lite's website looks, to be very frank, like it was designed by a blind person, and it is also totally awesome. Fear and respect B-Lite.

umm, b-lite's website says he's a video rap star, it doesn't mention being blind at all. also, he's credited for video collages in the audio-visual goodies that come with his cd. we were promised a blind rapper. that's a bait and fucking switch, my friend.

Buddy, don't you even start with me. Head on back to B's website, take a look at the title - not the page itself, but what it reads in the top frame of the browser. B-Lite, Blind Rapper. Take a look at the source code on that baby, you will see the exact phrase "B-Lite, Blind Rapper" is repeated no less than 6 times. Google the exact phrase "B-lite blind rapper" and see what comes up. Notice the first entry as well as the many, many other matches. Finally, I submit to you these lyrics from "B-Lites in the Neighborhood":

"I'm ripped to the tits
and kickin' the jams
I can't see shit
but I don't need a hand."

Nice prejudice assuming a blind dude can't create visual art though. Haven't you ever seen the video for Lionel Richie's "Hello?"

Now step off, MC Needledick.
