The Most Amazing Rapper You Never Heard Of

This is dedicated to all of you who wonder why Plies is famous, or who he is in the first place...

Our friend Frosty teaches an after school music program (recording, writing, mixing etc) and on the first day of school usually the kids go around and introduce themselves and say their age, school and favorite music among other things.

The majority of kids said they liked:

1. T Wayne. Not T Pain or Lil Wayne, but T Wayne

2. Plies. one kid even said, "Plies, of course."

This might not seem that outrageous to you unless you know who Plies is. But the thing is, no one knows who Plies is. He sort of erupted onto the scene if you can call it that since he's still relatively unknown. "Da Realist" seems to have some fans I guess, or at least some people pretending to be fans (apparently he has a large following of women).

Then, last night I heard this guy on the radio promoting his new album. Apparently this is is 4th or 5th album to date which drops December 16, his last album coming out a only 9 short months ago. Also, the dude said this is his best album to date, which the DJ agreed with and alluded that other reviewers had said as much. Plies also explained how he is an excellent business man because on this new album he has done what no other artist has achieved in the history of music: He expects to have 10-13 of the tracks off his album to be club bangers and be played throughout clubs and radio stations throughout the US. (His words)

This fool must be incredible.

Plies Update 11.17:  When I first heard his name I thought "Plies, oh, like pliers?"  Then I thought, "No, he's not that stupid" but apparently, he is.

Also word on the street is he has a masters.  In the words of Wildman (see comments), "He ain't no gangsta."
