The Easter Rabbit

To everyone that's celebrating it this weekend, Happy Easter! As usual, I'm putting up some tracks that are (very marginally) related to the holiday.

To everyone that's celebrating it this weekend, Happy Easter! As usual, I'm putting up some tracks that are (very marginally) related to the holiday. Easter was a tough one. Despite the fact that its almost a rapper requirement to have a Jesus piece or an iced-out cross, I couldn't find any songs dealing with Easter. There are a bunch of rap songs about Christmas, though, a fact which someone more cynical than I might use as a way to comment on the materialism that's become prevelant in both the Christmas holiday and rap music. Not me, though.

Since I couldn't find anything directly related to Easter, I had to go with one of the main symbols of the holiday: the Easter Bunny, or in this case the Easter "Rabbit." Specifically Eminem, who played Rabbit in 8 Mile. Yeah, its a stretch, but you gotta work with what you got. Anyway, here are a few Eminem freestyles. The first two are from the Sway and Tech show, from before he signed to Aftermath Records:

Rabbit Freestyle #1

Rabbit Freestyle #2

Rabbit Freestyle #3

If you really want to hear an Easter Bunny rapping, go check this out. Its an Easter version of the Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight, featuring a bunch of chicks (the feathered kind) and a rabbit. Its about as corny as you'd expect it to be.
