I Can't Help It...I Love White Rappers: Epick & The Motherfuckers
Ok, so full disclosure: this dude Epick is Allison's brother. YES PPL, Allison's brother is a white rapper. BWHAAAAAHHHHHAAA.
Look, here's Epick and Allison's sis during Christmas. Which is interesting, since I thought Allison was a Jew. But anyway. Here's another one with them all water skiing or some shit.
As all your asses well know, we barely ever post any music shit around here. It's mostly cause I listen to like 9 songs on my ipod, Phoenix's last album, Jay-Z's last album and that's about it. But I srsly dig Epick...and I kinda love the shit out his song "I Don't Mind" (vid up above). And I totally would have posted this mofo even if he didn't used to share a bathroom with Allison.
He collabed with Elle King on this jam, and while I had never heard of her either, I also kind of love the shit out of her too.
So we decided to dive deep and get some more scoop. We talked puppets, bedbugs and Mexican people.
Name:
Epick
Age:
The age of jesus - 33
So you're an actual real-life white rapper?
Yup, we exist.
Are there any other white rappers aside from you, Asher Roth and Eminem?
Wow, where the fuck have you been?
Do you have a puppet fetish? Also, what's the diff between a puppet and a muppet?
No fetish for me, although I really did enjoy acting with the puppets (especially the sex scenes).. I made the director and crew kind of uncomfortable with those cause I got a little too into it and was suggesting different positions etc.... But doing this video has made me love them all the more. And I was a huge Muppet Show fan as a kid and watched it every night. Animal was my shit. Now just cause I did a vid with puppets doesn't mean I'm a puppet expert or anything but I'd say muppets are puppets, period. Not every puppet is a muppet though, it doesn't go both ways.
I noticed you shot part of your video in front of the Pavilion movie theater...did you get bedbugs from standing in front of it?
HA! I used to live down the block from the Pavilion before bedbugs took over the city. While we filmed close to that shithole, we weren't close enough to get the bedbugs or aids that live in there. I should ask the director Jonah though cause he lives right near there these days. I do live near the magic johnson theater in harlem though, and I'm honestly scared to go in there. I consider Bedbugs the vilest most disturbing little fuckers that ever were. If I ever hear someone say sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite again I swear to god I'll slap them in the face.
Have you ever had bedbugs?
Wow! Is this coincidence or did you do your research? Cause not only did I have bedbugs three years ago, (it took a very painful year to get rid of them) but I also started a group on Facebook called Bedbugs Suck which has grown into a forum for people to vent and share their war stories.. I can send you a picture I took of my ass after a pretty horrible evening of being eaten alive if you'd like.. I wouldn't even mind if you posted it. My girlfriend says my ass is small but perfect.
Do you know if bedbugs can be transmitted via email?
No.
Elle King is pretty...how come you didn't put her in your video?
She is pretty isn't she... and her voice is like an angel's. She was living in LA when we filmed and our budget wouldn't allow us to fly out to Cali. We have some other songs together though, and when we do videos for those maybe I'll be the voice with a puppet face...
Describe Park Slope in 5 words?
Once Puerto Rican, now white. And if Puerto Rican counts as one word then add "moms" to the end.
If you're the type of person that doesn't illegally download music, you can buy shit from Epick on itunes. He does shows too sometimes and sometimes those shows are at Southpaw, so if he does any soon we'll let you know. Also Allison has already promised to wear that bathing suit up above to any of Epick's shows in Park Slope, no matter what the weather or the time of year.
