"Internet b-boys wanna know what race I am/ black white or spanish, you figure it out/ learn how to rhyme off line and take the dick out ya mouth" (J-Zone, 2001)


"Some debate about my race or may think I'm a mutt, no/ y'all act like y'all never seen no light skinned brothers..." (J-Zone, 2006)


"Hell no ho, me and Zone won't answer race questions, faggots/ We in the detergent aisle cause we far from crackas" (Celph Titled, 2006)


Here we go again. At every show I do or public appearance I make, in youtube comments sections, on message boards, in my email box...The race questions and debates. They used to be amusing (the fact some people spent so much time on them as opposed to getting paid, laid, an education or their own success), but now they're getting annoying.

Speaking to other "what the fuck is he?" and mis-diagnosed artists like Celph Titled, Louis Logic and Danger Mouse...it seems that although I have this problem the most, we all get pretty tired of it. Despite answering the questions in numerous interviews and in songs, it just seems to get worse. Once again something irrelevant takes on more importance than the music itself.

Am I funny looking? Fuckin A right! My name is Kill Pretty and don't you dare get it twisted, hoe. Handsome Heartthrob is never me...EVER! And I can see people being confused,  but even when I answer the questions...it just doesn't stop. Somebody actually asked if my Grandmother (who is brown skinned) is really my Grandmother...hahaha wow. I live in a neighborhood thats mostly Black Caribbean, so you may see somebody that looks like me more often (just not as funny looking). But you see all different skin and hair colors, features, etc. and they're not necessarily a product of mixed race parents or grandparents. That's just how it works. Enough genietics I ain't no damn scientist.

Pete Rock and Heavy D are cousins. Think about that. I normally wouldn't bother to entertain retarted shit like this (I held it off for 8 years), but people can't seem to let it go. In message board forums and various name drops on the internet, I've been labled Black, mixed, Mexican, White, Chinese, Uzbekastanian, Eskimo, one of the best Latino producers, one of the funniest White rappers and of course "it don't matter, he sucks anyway". I love that one...Mwah!

So (insert drumroll) without further ado...I present the "what the fuck is he?" Rapper Race Chart!!!

(Insert Game Show styled Theme Music here)

Here are our contestants-

J-ZONE: BLACK (and funny looking)

waiting on confirmation from more "what the fuck are they?" rappers...more names to be added very soon...

There's the truth once and for all...and we're all proud of our races, whatever they are. But all that matters is the music, so go back to saying we suck as artists anyway. We like that...
