‘Snow’s slick tongue brought them fifteen minutes of fame. Vanilla Ice dug a deep hole for all that followed in his footsteps. Eminem filled the hole and brought them their first signs of hope and respect. Ill Mitch, though, opened up a whole new world for white rappers.
Next to potato vodka and mail-order brides, Ill Mitch is arguably Russia’s best export. Complete with headband, sleeveless life vest, and a penchant for systematically destroying every rule of grammar in the English language, Ill is determined to be happy as a recording artist. Successful? Well, that’s a different story.
Ill Mitch is badass. His debut English CD is entitled “Punch While Rap,” featuring such songs as the homage to skateboarding, “Fast and Danger.” In addition to “rap and ride on my skateboard,” Ill loves to hit his boxing bag, to which the album title, “Punch While Rap” alludes.
As one message board posting fan suggested, “His rhymes flow like the great Mississippi River.” Ill, himself, suggests that his music is for fans of Gangstarr. While both of these statements are debatable, you can count on him for a laugh at least. As a matter of fact, you can go out on a limb and say that he is the greatest parodied Russian immigrant rapper who loves skateboarding and rap.
“On full moon I ride with boner,” sings Ill Mitch on the hit “Fast and Danger.” It’s kind of like Vanilla Ice, except the creative mastermind behind Ill Mitch must be making this as a joke intentionally. It’s sick, dope, def, and so on.
