To be a joke in the music industry you must first obtain a career to make into a joke. He was never a rapper, never a actor, just a hype man for Public Enemy thats it. So to me, his entire time his face has seen some type of public light hes always been a joke. Anyone can stand on stage and scream throw your hands in the air and other random one liners. He was born a joke and will die a joke, just now the joke is world wide.
