What was supposed to just be a light-hearted rap freestyle may turn into the catalyst that launches pop sensation Justin Bieber’s rap career.
Yesterday, the teen sensation posted a freestyle video on Twitter, where he rhymed over Vado’s club hit “Speaking in Tungs.” During the clip, he poked fun at himself for being white and proudly proclaimed that he “murdered it.”
Vado was highly impressed by Bieber’s rendition, and let it be known that the young superstar is welcome to jump on his upcoming remix.
“I was shocked, he killed it!” Vado told the NY Daily News. “When I seen it on Twitter, I didn’t believe it. We need to keep his verse for the remix! We might finish the remix this weekend, and let Justin go first. I’m definitely going to contact him.”
Although the freestyle was the first time Bieber has ever rapped, he was recently a part of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Friday series, appearing with Raekwon on the song “Runaway Love.” Under his rap persona, Bieber goes by the name Shawty Mane.
The 16-year-old singer became the youngest solo act since Stevie Wonder in 1963 to top the charts with his last album, My World 2.0. Vado’s debut album, Slim Flu, was released this past Tuesday (October 12).
At press time, Justin Bieber has not responded to Vado’s offer.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
***************************************************************
I know (hope) Vado wasn’t serious about the Biggie comment, but some things you shouldn’t joke about.
Their lanes are completely different, but Vado and company would be insane not to try and capitalize on this. Vado is a new artist, and being associated with a star like Bieber can only help him, even if it doesn’t make an immediate impact with albums sales. And if Dipset can get anything out of it, great, because their reunion has been met with a lukewarm reception at best.
Ironically, Bieber appears to be tight with Kanye West, who Cam’Ron recently dissed in a weak ploy for attention. It’d be funny if Kanye stepped in and advised Bieber not to work with them.
$5 says if this comes off, Bieber outshines Jim Jones and Juelz Santana. Y’all ready for a bunch of teeny boppers and MTV next year proclaiming Justin Bieber as one of the hottest emcees in the game?
