AKA The Rubix Cuban AKA Top Chef Celph Boyardee AKA The Motherfuckin' Landmine Lieutenant?
Saw his name mentioned by a few people along with myself in the best punchline rapper of all time thread a week or so ago...



Known as underground feature specialist, 'gun rapper' extraordinaire and king of punchlines, with one of the greatest baritone voices in hip hop... Part of both Army of The Pharoahs as well as Demigodz. Appearing on many songs with fellow popular rappers Apathy and Vinnie Paz, along with a solo interlude on Fort Minor's The Rising Tied, a hit album executive produced by Jay Z.

But Celph is far from the typical underground artist that talks about illuminati, reptilian blood, and aliens.... He has two very well received albums released in 2010 and 2011 that more people should have listened to -- Nineteen Ninety Now & Nineteen Ninety More , both of which are produced with Buckwild. He also has a 4-disc compilation of 75 or so of his features and unreleased tracks.

Here's some good tracks to give you a taste of Celph...


A lot of people denounce him as nothing more than a 'punchline rapper' whose good for a few lines...but a lot of people don't know that he has some great serious songs...like this beautiful tribute to the 90s.



One of his hottest verses, from the AOTP song Dump The Clip (Celph Starts @ 1:48)



Sweet verse from Styles of Beyond song, Take That (Celph Starts @ 2:00)
You heard us now from word of mouth, and yes we hotter than ovens
But now we got the market cornered and smothered, plus this records on Warner Brothers
Mothafuckas!



Dope story-telling track describing how he came up to being a rapper...


3 Minutes of great bars
