It has been more than 20 years since Marshall Mathers III, who is professionally known as Eminem, released his debut studio album titled "Infinite" and he is still considered the top rapper of his generation. However, the next white rapper to rule the hip-hop industry may have just been discovered.
On Dec. 20, Sunday, Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" collaborator Kendrick Lamar pulled one man from the audience onstage at the Day for Night festival in Houston, Texas. While he got a false start as he forgot the lyrics to Lamar's song, the audience member stole the show by freestyling his own lyrics, according to TMZ.
The audience member is a 24-year-old Houston native who had gone to Lamar's concert with friends. He has just quit his corporate job in finance, and he goes by the name Corporate Dough as he now plans to pursue a career as a rapper.
"It was wild," KHOU quoted Dough as saying. "It was incredible."
According to Dough, he was up very close to the front, and about halfway through the concert, Lamar came out and said he was going to bring some people up on the stage. When Lamar picked him, he told himself, "This is my moment."
Dough performed so well onstage that Jas Prince, who happened to be in the audience, approached him and they exchanged information. Prince was the one who discovered Drake, the "Forever" collaborator of Eminem, Lil Wayne and Kanye West.
"And I was just like, 'Man, I know who you are. What's going on?'" Dough said of meeting Prince. It has yet to be confirmed if the two made a deal.
