The Next Episode The Lineup 33RPM

Lil' Flip Does the Hokie Pokey 

Christopher Gray  Fri Apr 20, 12:55pm , 2007


Lil' Flip: "Rest in peace to e'rbody."
Texas rapper Lil' Flip, best known previously for styling himself as "The Leprechaun" (he's from H-town's Cloverleaf neighborhood) and sampling Pac-Man on his 2004 hit "Game Over," has gone all Neil Young-9/11 and pert-near instantaneously weighed in on the Virginia Tech tragedy with a track called, imaginatively, "Virginia Tech Song." Go to his Myspace page and, like some 10,000 folks before you, check it out for yourself. As he mourns, Flip lets us know "I got a white candle lit right now" and does some Nancy Grace-like legal analysis: "His screenplay shoulda let you know he had a problem." All the while, he samples Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"; considering how often school/workplace shootings show up in the news, it's a perfect choice. A little further down his page, you can stream a cut from Flip's brand-new album, I Need Mine, which he doesn't hesitate to remind you is in stores now. It's called, um, "Bust a Clip." Let the healing begin.
