7 Times Silkk the Shocker Couldn't Find the Beat

Silkk the Shocker is maybe the most infuriating rapper of all time. Frustrating to hear and impossible to discern whatever measure of rap talent Master P saw in his little brother. Silkk was always off-beat. On No Limit collabos, including cuts from his own albums, Silkk spit the weakest verses. On solo tracks, he frequently subjected us to his very worst 2Pac impersonation.

Silkk wasn't the best of the region or even the era, yet he was somehow essential to the stratagem by which New Orleans, Atlanta, and Houston began conquering rap throughout the late '​90s and early '00s. Birdman and Master P were the bosses. Juvenile and Mystikal were princes. Trick Daddy was the jester. Lil' Wayne was the prodigy.​ And Silkk the Shocker was a true lieutenant of the No Limit era. For that, he deserves commendation, commemoration, and memorialization.

So here we present seven times when Silkk the Shocker couldn’t find the beat—in comic book form. Because Silkk's career is the greatest story ever (poorly) told.

Silkk and his friends were playing basketball in front of so many fans, but Silkk couldn't find the beat!

It was a big day. Silkk had a date with the girl of his dreams, but he just could not find the beat. Poor Silkk!

Oh, Silkk! He used to be the best kicker in the neighborhood. And then one day, despite how hard he tried, he couldn't find that beat.

All Silkk needed was a little sunshine in his life. Looking at the five-day forecast however, there wasn't a single beat to be found.

Silkk had a rough day. All he wanted to do was unwind with a smoke. Where was that beat, though?!

And so Silkk became so frustrated, he traveled to outer space! But even there, he could not find the beat!

Silkk grew tired of searching. With the help of a professional, he finally realized that it wasn't his fault. He would never find the beat. But he could find acceptance.
