Default Mahatma

I've been wondering, for quite a while, what the F is up with his name selection? A white kid, apparently from the upper class, that raps (poorly) and all of his screen names are some sort of Durkadurka'ness. Does anybody know what his deal is? Buddhist? Typical white wannabe rapper douchebag? Really nice guy that's the next Big Thing in rap?

His last name is Friedman, so he's Jewish. His first name is Sanskrit I believe, so I guess his parents didn't want to name their kid "Sol" or "Moishe." HTF should I know?

And I don't think he has a viable rap career.

Ghandi's first name was Mohandas. Mahatma was the title given him to denote his wisdom.

His first name is Prahlaid or something like that. I'm pretty sure I've spelled it wrong though.

Wrong. He just signed with a major label last week. Expect a press release around this shortly, though I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on and do something in conjunction with a televised poker appearance.

Well, this does meet the miniumum criteria for "viability." Maybe what I should have said is "I can't imagine anybody voluntarily listening to his tracks." Although if Kanye West is producing one, maybe I'd give Pragress another try, since most of what sucked about about the tracks I heard was in the production. Is Kanye really producing a track, Voltron? Really?
