Im-B-cile

That should be this guy's name. You don't think it would fit? C'mon, there are rappers named Juvenile, Da Brat, etc.

Alright, alright. How about Een-Coherent?

Well, anyway, his real name is Paul Wall and he was recently on Howard Stern's radio program. Howard had him on because he has a certain "dialect".

See notes from his appearance below and at Howard's website:

Howard had Paul Wall, the white rapper who sounds black in the clip from MTV Howard has been playing recently, into the studio. Howard told Paul that when he first heard the clip, he was sure he was listening to a black guy. He added that not even Eminem has mastered the black dialect the way Paul has. Paul mentioned that he is from Houston and that he was exposed to so many different types of people growing up that he always talked this way. Paul also claimed that he is not trying to sound black and that he couldn’t talk differently unless he really tried to fake it. Despite his argument, Howard suggested that Paul would learn how to talk white really quickly if he ever had to go to court.
