Now, a real important part of the scene in Philadelphia - the rap scene - has become the use of a wide variety of different voices, and certainly, the master in Philadelphia of that is Parry P.

[00:18:36]
Parry, perhaps what you could do is give us a few examples of the different voices you use in rap and then explain to us how you came to use them.

[00:18:44]
Just give us maybe one or two, explain how you came to develop those, and then give us a few more. To show the range.

[00:18:51]
{SPEAKER name="Parry P"}
[[high pitched voice]]
Well, I don't know where I got this one. It just came to me.

May the force be with you.

How did you come about to work with the different voices?

[00:19:21]
{SPEAKER name="Parry P"}
Watchin' a lot of cartoons. [[laughter]]

[00:19:27]
Well, I - I was sittin' in my room one day, and I seen - started watching cartoons, started using voices.

[00:19:33]
And my mother was like, "Turn the TV down!"

[00:19:37]
I said, "There's nobody - I'm using these voices. She said "that boy is crazy". She called up all ya know how people get on the phone and the mother father things "Let me tell you 'bout my son though up there [[??]] making all this noise [[laughter]] using all these voices and she thought I was outta my mind, but she has never seen me do it and perform it."

[00:19:56]
{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
Right. Could you give us some of the voices in the course of a rap?

[00:19:59]
