I went to Sirius Satellite Radio and did my show, Rapping With Rip.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
I rap on 'Front Porch Junkies' and 'Whatcha Got in that Cup.' I try to channel my inner Lil Wayne and Drake. It's fun to be able to freestyle over a country melody and say country words over a rap song.
When I discovered that I could tune into American radio stations after dark, this was the hippest thing to me. It sort of saved my life.
If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.
I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.
I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
My dad being a DJ, I heard all the hits, no matter what. My mom always had on the radio because my dad was on it.
Rap was my drug.
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
