Ken Kaniff

Postby DrRapid » May 28th, '07, 10:37

Who is this guy? I've heard the skit in The Marshall Mathers LP lol and i don't seem to get the point of the skit .
I've also seen in The Slim Shady Show a guy called Ken who talks the same way as the guy in the skit and who's kinda gay.

Can somebody just tell me please :flower:

Ken Kaniff is a fictional character featured on several tracks by hip-hop artist Eminem. Kaniff is a stereotype of a gay man (it is also implied, in the song "I'm Back", that he is also a pedophile.) He directly features in two skits and is referred to in several of Eminem's songs.

Kaniff was originally voiced by underground Detroit rapper Aristotle. After Aristotle lent his voice to a skit on The Slim Shady LP, his working relationship ended after a personal dispute. From the The Marshall Mathers LP onwards, all skits using the Ken Kaniff persona have been performed by Eminem himself.
