The Most Bizarre MC’s
From the Clown Prince of Hip Hop to a super villain hell-bent on revenge, we look at seven of the most out-there MC’s of all time.
7. Biz Markie
One of the MCs responsible for bringing rap to the mainstream, Harlem’s Biz Markie made hip hop history when “Just a Friend,” his off-key anthem to unrequited love, became a top ten hit. Even though the Biz’s other tracks like “Pickin’ Boogers” and “Toilet Stool Rap” wouldn’t find the same success, he’s had some memorable career moments, including paying tribute to Elton John on The Chris Rock Show and showing off his ample belly on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club. What else would you expect from an MC known as the Clown Prince of Hip Hop?

they forgot my dog ODB rip dirt Mcgirt big baby jezus A son. He had material on everything form partying to stds real talk and extremly talanted and unique brotha. Give credit where credit is who else had a foodstamp on and album cover dirty who actually went to a check cashing joint with his montly check in hand and cash it on camera Dirty. Never forget OLD DIRTY BASTARD HIP HOP PIONEER

what about MC Scat Cat?

Bodymore says:
Definitely left: ODB and Dr. Octagon/Kool Keith/all his other alter egos. Def fathered MF Doom’s and Del’s styles. No one could touch ODB Enter the 36 Chambers. Way more interesting than Shock G.

Radnuw says:
Sadly, ODB light burned out in October 2004… I agree swifthustla that he was a real hip hop pioneer and .. his style.. (Old and Dirty and a Bastard because there is was no father to his style (at least that what was written in the Wu-Tang Manual) Thanks…

Mr. Gerbik says:
Kool Keith (a.k.a Dr. Dooom, Dr. Octagon etc.) That guy was proper mental and deserves to be in this list, if not the No.1.

b's grrl says:
i’m not sure whats scarier, the fact that biz markie is on Yo Gabba Gabba, or that I can’t look away when it’s on

deac says:
Flav isn’t that weird…especially compared to Kool Keith. From Ultramagnetic to ultra weird…but still dope. Leaving Black Elvis/Kool Keith off was a crime but a Del write-up with no mention of him founding Hieroglyphics? Come on…
11.25.08 at 1:05 pm
guy says:
umm kool keith dude
11.25.08 at 1:11 pm
scott says:
Flava flav is a hypeman not a rapper. Untalented one at that. I agree kool keith should be on this list as well as odb.
11.25.08 at 1:12 pm
d says:
Kool Keith. Dr. Octagon.
Quas (Madlib) simply for the cool recording technique
11.25.08 at 1:12 pm
ryan says:
Yeah, ODB should definitely replace Flavor Flav. In fact he is probably one of the only weirdo rappers that could replace MF Doom at the top of this list. Mf Doom kicks ass (especially his Mm Food album) but ODB rocks.

mr bubbles says:
No Kool Keith? What planet are you on, dumbass.

WTF says:
HOW THE HELL IS THERE NO KOOL KEITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11.25.08 at 1:24 pm
burtb says:
yeah, kool kieth is the best/wierdest….lame list without him….at least you recognized MF DOOM tho….bizarre or not, hes one of the best ever.
11.25.08 at 1:47 pm
Lowridyr says:
I believe Tech N9ne should be top 5 if not #1. Without him on this, it’s major fail

The 10 Most Bizarre MC’s could be a list of only Kool Keith’s aliases….

Eric says:
Kool Keith, period.

botics says:
WOW! Strange that the 7 strangest are all of mass appeal with full international distribution, big fancy record deals, and many of equal or greater note-worthiness on the subject are oomitted or left out…. Where is Kool Keith?!?! Where is Chicago’s infamous street rapper maniac impromptu genius Sharkula?!?!?! Who wrote this–someone from NARAS?!

Aonghus says:
Something told me MF DOOM would win, but no Dr.Octagon?? and remember “all caps when you spell the man’s name”

Octagon3k says:
for real, no kool keith? Watch the poppa large video from his ultramagnetic days, that alone should have put him #1 on this list.

Another legendary bizarre rapper who has been left out has to be Rammellzee - only released a few tunes, but man they were legends…
