Your Own Personal Not-Jesus
Those of you who live in New York are probably familiar with one of our local characters, the six-foot-seven-inch-tall rapping Jew. He goes around town doing on-the-spot freestyle rhymes about the subject of your choice. (Last time I ran into him? First Avenue, near Two Boots Pizza.) He’s one of the potential Messiahs in Andy Deemer’s newest film, my god. You can see the trailer here. And then you can wonder, as I did, why Jewschool doesn’t have a “film” tag.
tedevan is an acquaintance of mine..i’ve featured him on jewschool a couple of times
speaking of your own personal jesus, depeche mode cancelled their show in israel
He’s a rapping Jew now? I remember when he was in Washington Square Park giving “healing touch” massages for 5 bucks.
My how the times have changed.
Freakin’ hysterical. I bumped into him when I took my daughter’s class to NYC in June- blogged here: http://escapetoelmcity.blog-city.com/six_foot_seven_inch_jew_will_free_style_rap_for_you.htm
Too bad he wasn’t still doing massage. After a day with a bunch of 13-year old girls, I could’ve used a “healing touch” (and a few vodka shots).
He still does the healing touch thing. You can see him healing someone in the movie trailer.
I met him on the L to Brooklyn 2 weeks ago. Interesting guy.
