Silibil N Brains, Fake ‘American’ Rappers Story



Have you ever heard of rappers Silibil N Brains? Well, me neither, but today their story has come to the light, thanks by NPRmusic.com.

It turns out that they are a couple of friends called Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, who were aspiring to get a career as rappers. After trying so hard to impress the people in charge of auditions and talent scouts and failing (not because of their talent, but because of their accent), they finally decided to change their identities and use an alias.

But they even went as far as creating a story for their characters. And also claimed they were Americans that went to live to London, this made all the difference for the couple of friends:

“These lyrics were just the same when we did them again in American accents, There was nothing different, and all of a sudden, people were saying, ‘Oh, wow. They’re just as good as Eminem.’ But in the Scottish accent, they’re saying, ‘Oh, no. They don’t have any talent.’ ”

The rappers went on to sign a deal with Sony and publish three albums. The article is definitely interesting to read, you can find it here.
