There's a Dutch rapper called Typhoon who can rap but speaks with a stutter

Looked up a song and this interview, seems to check out

Interesting. I guess it's not even having to put a tune to the speech, just trying to work it with rhythmn seems to help (at least Typhoon).

EDIT : I remember an interview where James Earl Jones (among others) have said they took up acting to help with their stuttering.

Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn't ever stutter when he sings.

Ozzy Osbourne is nigh unintelligible when he speaks, but then sings incredibly well.

ETA: fixed intelligible to unintelligible

Really? From his work in sabbath, he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, which is basically what he is.

And I'm a fan of Ozzy era sabbath, precisely because he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, wheras Dio is the far better singer. Which took away from the atmosphere of sabbath. That and Iommi for some reason started to write a lot more in line with other people in the 80s.

I mean, his later solo stuff takes a lot of cues from classical music.

I used him a LOT in a classical music appreciation class in college.

At the end, I was asked why I didn't take the other music appreciation class - rock?

Because it was only offered at 7am. Really counterintuitive for the crowd who grew up on "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day!" You can't do that with a 7am class.

Sorry, who is the he in this case? Dio, Iommi or Ozzy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My bad, sorry, Ozzy.

Don't get me wrong, respect for both Dio and Iommi for their contributions to the genre as a whole, but I was speaking specifically of Ozzy in this case.

Sure, no problems, the only issue was the ambiguous use of he.

If the Scatman can do it so can you.
