Not just an excuse to post a pic of Jean Grae, here’s a snippet from HHC Digital 002’s stunningly-original look at the most entertaining rap types to follow on Twitter…

JEAN GRAE
You’d expect a rapper named after one of the X-Men to have an opinion on Wolverine. Jean’s verdict is “ehhhhh,” although she admits, “I give Hugh Jackman and his workout regimen an A+”. Elsewhere, Jeannie endures a master cleanse, quotes Michael Scott from The Office and raves about Grey Gardens ( “Brilliant jobs by Drew Barrymore & Jessica Lange”) and the doco that begat it. Damn, is this shit the new Scarface or something?

PHONTE
Whether sarcastically linking to a Guru solo joint (“Dear Guru: You’re a legendary MC with nothing more to prove. It’s okay to just quit now”), trading spam-themed puns with Babu (“Spamson and Delilah”) or coining his own reggae name (“Mad Walrus”), Tigga’s out for laughs. He also tackles the big issues though, pondering whether gospel singers using Autotune is sacrilegious and revealing that he’d rather watch a Helen Mirren sex tape than a Kim Kardashian one. Takes all sorts, as they say.

HEX MURDA
“Fuck sharks, lions, tigers, bears & shit,” opines Detroit hip-hop’s answer to Ari Gold. “With bird flu, swine flu & mad cow disease seems all the hoe-ass animals are tryin’ to kill us, too.” Away from current affairs, Hex critiques the rap game (“I wish JUST-ICE would come bak & shoot every rap nigga under 25 in the face”) and drops tweet-of-consciousness gems like “Fuck shit hoe bitch damn cunt muthafucka buckeye slut felcher fluffer goat-monkey”. Hey, we’ve all thought it.
