From Bishop to Bad Guy

[Majestyc Gillum]

As a child like most artists Bad Guy was influenced by Michael Jackson.
His hip hop influences were Trick Daddy, Run DMC, LL Cool J, JT Money,
Snoop Dogg, Scar face, Ice Cube and Tupac to name a few. Bad Guy began
rapping in his youth at talent shows and battles. His first love was football and pursued his dream at a Jr College in California. Due to a lack of the necessary ACT or SAT scores he was unable to attend a Major University. He was kicked off the team and dropped out and returned to his home in Miami, Fl. Once
Bad Guy reached Miami he decided to invest in his career as a rapper
and recorded a demo that launched the ever popular, “You know You
Ghetto.” In his spare time he coached little league football and met a
parent that believed in his talent and invested in “Bishop.” Anyone that
didn’t know the definition of what it is to be ghetto learned from
Bishop’s hit single, “You know you ghetto”. The
song made strides on Bill Board top 100 Charts for a consecutive five
weeks in 2001 He toured with Lil John, Ludacris, Pastor Troy and various
other artists. Unfortunately, there were disagreements between
management and producers which led to a 3 year pause in his career.

During the past decade there has been a transformation, Bishop has reemerged as the Bad Guy. His club banger, “It’s My Dog’s Birthday” featured Trick Daddy among other artists of Dunk Ryder Records. I wanted to find out more about this transformation of Bishop to Bad Guy and the artists was more than forthcoming. There has been a legal issue of having a concealed weapon but Bad Guy
continued to go after his dream. Bad Guy is currently touring in the
south and has a club banger, “Myself.” He is depicted as a robber
wearing a custom ski mask that sells to the masses from his fans to high
school students. Bad Guy has merged the
commercial aspect from Bishop and the rugged appeal of Bad Guy to make
money from every aspect of the industry. Ties have been severed from Dunk Ryders and he is not on a new journey to establish a foot hold in the industry.
