Mel Gibson to Launch Hip Hop Career
Posted in Arts & Entertainment, News on Jul 21st, 2010
LOS ANGELES — In a career move that many public relations experts are describing as “ingenious,” Mel Gibson will temporarily abandon film-making and pursue a new career as a hip hop recording artist.
Stung by recently released tapes of him ranting uncontrollably and profanely at Oksana Grigorieva, mother of his 8-month-old daughter — as well as previous anti-Semitic and racist remarks — Gibson’s career appeared to be in serious jeopardy.
But in the world of hip hop, these apparent liabilities become assets.
“It’s a great career move for Mel Gibson at this point,” said Ron Gidear, whose public relations firm has represented hip hop artists such as Not So L’il Wayne, 75 Cent, 6Pac, Jay A-Z, and Enema-em.
“He’s hateful and violent toward women,” says Gidear. “He’s also extremely loud, incredibly profane, and he even uses the ‘n’ word with a high degree of comfort. He has all the hallmarks of a great hip hop artist.”
Gibson has been recording furiously, as well as sampling the tapes of his phone calls to Grigorieva.
He will release his first single next week on Bad Idea Records, tentatively entitled, “If You Don’t Shut the F— Up, I Will F—ing Kill You B–ch,” and will follow that with an “unplugged” acoustic recording entitled, “Go to the F—ing Jacuzzi By Yourself, You F—ing C—,You Don’t Love Me, I Will F—ing Kill You.”
Gibson is still trying to settle on a stage name for his new hip hop career, but is said to be considering one of the following:
- MWA (Mel With Attitude)
- RaveHeart
- Domestic Lethal Weapon
- The F-word Warrior
- Really Really Mad Max
