Freestyle at 30,000 Feet: Juice Lee Raps from the Lavatory

For Juice Lee, inspiration can happen just about anywhere, and when it does, he likes to capture it for posterity. YouTube is filled with clips of the rapper freestyling on the street, or while sitting on a flight of stairs, or even while driving a car (I believe he was using a hands-free recording device, in accordance with traffic laws). Now he's taking it to a whole new level and giving the rapping Southwest Airlines flight attendant a run for his money with an extemporaneous two-minute rhyme performed inside an airplane lavatory.

As the story goes, Juice was on his way back from performing at All Points West when he got the idea to lay down the high-flying track in the closest thing to a recording booth he could find at the moment. The result, in his words: "Literally taking a crap on rappers from 30,000 feet." Yeah!

If he looks familiar, you may have seen him in one of the epic Kutiman YouTube mashups that swept the internet back in March. He anchors the song "I'm New" with a killer verse about staying true to himself in a world full of compromises. And now, he enters the Hip-Hip history books with the first complete rhyme performed and recorded in an airplane lavatory at altitude. Maybe this will start a whole new travel trend, just as the airplane-lavatory self portrait thing winds down. Just try to keep your rhymes short, in case other aspiring rappers are waiting in the aisles.
