That was unreal.

And to answer, he is/was on MadTV.

Excellent! Fantastic! Here's the same clip on YouTube.

Re-reading my post above, it sounds a good deal more pissy than I intended. Allow me to clarify:

Those impersonations are uncanny. I liked it.

Now prepare for a ride on the one-link-you-tube pony.

Holy crap! His LL Cool J started weak, but then it was quite good! Snoop was the best though.

I honestly couldn't believe he was doing Jay-Z. I know it's Spears, but sounds just like Jay-Z..Wow.

His Snoop was good, but his DMX was weak.

His J and his Snoop were tight, DMX sounded like it wanted to be Method Man, and LL could've been anybody. On the radio, I bet it sounded awesome, though (since you can't see that it's the same guy doing them all).

Also, ridiculous? What, cause it's a darkie pretending to be other darkies in a minstrel show for your amusement? Because if that was all freestyle, that was talent. Nothing ridiculous about that.

I must now kill myself, because nothing will ever be that awesome again.

That was really good.

Yeah, DMX was the only weak spot. I "watched" the video with it open in a background tab, so I could only hear the audio, pretty damn impressive.

Jay-Z called, he wants his voice back.

brooklyn, stand up

Anyone else hate morning DJ's?

Aries Spears was good, though.

have y'all heard Supernatural spittin Biggie?

DMX wasn't *that* weak. It was a Notre Dame in a field of Ohio States.

Everything - the laughs, the idisyncracies. And while rapping. Made my day.

Now do Fed-Ex!

No, you're the only one. And airline food? That's just you, too.

Nice find!

Can't say Im up on DMX, but his Snoop and Jay Z were, as they say in the hood - tight.

Oh wow.

The Jay-Z laugh was perfect.

He was much better a coupla weeks ago on Def Comedy Jam

The Jay Z was the only one that impressed me, to be honest.
