You're probably not used to seeing porn stars like Pinky fully clothed or standing upright but as of late many have been taken to rocking the mic in the traditional sense as MCs -- but can we really take them seriously?
Pinky 'Bad B*tch'
Lately, more and more porn stars have been picking up the mic and putting down the KY Jelly in an effort to demonstrate their skills as MCs. Popular black porn star Pinky is the latest to test her talents with the music video for the song "Bad Bitch." Pinky isn't the first -- and probably won't be the last -- porn star to make an attempt to transition into the role of a rapper.
Porn icon Heather Hunter tried her hand at hip-hop and released a rap album in 2005 titled 'Double H: The Unexpected.' But the real unexpected part was the fact that she connected with self-proclaimed porn aficionado DJ Premier for the song "Freak Like Me" and also featured production from Scott Storch on the album. The fact was that Hunter wanted to be taken seriously as an MC. But regardless of who she had help her, it was still too difficult to see a woman known for the use of her body's orifices as a real "spitta" and not just a swallower.
Heather Hunter 'So Serious'
Other porn stars have given rapping a shot. Semi-retired porn star India owns her own record company Black Widow Entertainment and released an album in 2006 titled 'Role Play.' She released a video for the song 'Get It Girl' but again, nobody cared. Jake Steed also dabbled in rap and featured his songs on his porn series title "Freaks, Whoes & Flows."
Probably the most notable name to grace the blogs is Brian Pumper who has been trying his hardest to be noticed as a rapper. He's dissed Rick Ross and exploited Morpheus Lawrence Fishburne's daughter in order to get people to pay attention. We've paid attention, heard the music and the verdict is that it is flat out horrific to the degree that we'd rather stage dive into a bin of hypodermic needles rather than hear him spit 16 bars about "Oh and It's Shaved." Yuck.
The bottom line is that most of these porn stars turned rappers flat out suck. That's not to say that there isn't a porn star somewhere with some skills, but nobody thus far has demonstrated ability on the mic that would blow anyone away. Taking into consideration that they have sex on camera for a living and it's quite difficult for the general public to care about what they have to say. And it's not just because they do porn. We've treated athletes, actors and just about anyone who comes from another industry the same when it comes to infiltrating the music business. Porn stars pique our curiosity, but that's about it. Stick to what you do best.
All I can say is WTF?
