Tell Em Why U Madd
The Madd Rapper
Crazy Cat Catalogue/Columbia
Who is the Madd Rapper and how does he, an artist that previously appeared on records as a skit or transition, get a deal to do a record with proven artists like Ma$e, Tracy Lee, Puffy, Eminem, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Jermaine Dupri, Lil' Cease, and the Beatnuts? It helps to be schizophrenic, but being one of the Hit Men, the elite production team that makes the award-winning music for Puffy's Bad Boy Entertainment, makes for a better excuse. The Madd Rapper battles himself on "Dot Vs. TMR (The Mad Rapper)." "Dot" is Deric "D-Dot" Angelttie-the executive producer that led the album introductions of Ma$e, Faith Evans and Puffy. What's the deal with the TMR? Why is he so mad? From a schizophrenic standpoint, D-Dot is the "established" rapper with the "gold rings and things," TMR is hustling for the deal. No rings. No things. He's mad.
