Blowfly

Best known as the dirtiest rapper who ever lived -- via Rolling Stone. AKA Clarence Reid, the Godfather of Hip Hop. As Reid, he was a respected musician, songwriter, singer, and producer; however, it was as the hilariously inappropriate Blowfly that he gained immortality. Though his work is unbelievably filthy, it's done in such a ridiculous, childlike way, reveling in the act of transgression, that it's hard to think of it as being offensive. A liberating and wacky soul.
