The Mad Rapper Returns With Brooklyn’s Finest
Tell 'em why you mad, son!
As a member of Bad Boy’s Hitmen collective, Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie was undoubtably one of the greatest hip-hop producers of the '90s. While helming countless hits and mentoring a young Kanye West, D-Dot’s other claim to fame became his hilarious alter-ego, The Mad Rapper. What began as a skit on Bad Boy albums that parodied player-hating underground MCs culminated in a full album on Columbia in 2000. And in a strange case of life imitating art, D-Dot allegedly assaulted an editor at Blaze magazine for exposing his character’s “secret” identity.
Nearly a decade later, D-Dot still works sporadically with Bad Boy artists, but his bitter persona has been pretty quiet until now. A new Mad Rapper song called “Brooklyn Let’s Go Part 1″ leaked a few days ago, and D-Dot is trading bars on it with the younger generation of his borough: Red Cafe, Maino, Wais P (from Da Ranjaz), Papoose and Joell Ortiz. Hear the song after the jump.
