1 April 2013 5:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Hip-hop is a natural minefield for satire, a world in which oversize personalities talk large and create brands and fronts that rest on the fragile backs of 16-bar verses. Behind most clever or boastful lyrics is a grown man counting out syllables and scribbling down lines into a notebook. In recent years, though, few have spotlighted the comedy that unfolds between the seeds of a song and a rapper stepping on stage better than a gangly pair of brothers who live on the Upper West Side of New York.
Jeff and Eric Rosenthal are known as ItsTheReal, a comedy duo that documents hip-hop culture through self-directed videos in which they interview rappers or skewer their work in skits. (Jeff also writes about the genre; Rolling Stone sent him on the ill-fated Rihanna Plane, where he shared a row with this editor.)

If Lil Wayne did drink the toxic concoction that reports are alleging, then he’s lucky to be alive. Keep reading for an expert’s Exclusive explanation why.
The dangerous mixture that Lil Wayne allegedly drank “should have killed him,” Dr. Phil Dembo tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Sizzurp: A ‘Poisonous Mixture’
“It’s like drinking poison,” Dr. Dembo continues. The doctor explains that Wayne’s alleged mixture of codeine and promethazine is extremely lethal, especially when mixed with alcohol. “A person can overdose on this poisonous mixture,” he says. The “bootleg” syrup that Lil Wayne reportedly consumed dangerously “increases heart rate and causes liver damage.”
Taking “anything not truly prescribed” is highly hazardous, Dr. Dembo explains, and also adds that “a mixture of substances in order for a high is a dangerous way to party.”
