Melburnian rapper BK Ultra, better known by his real name, Fake 360, will appear on next week's episode of ABC panel program Q&A alongside someone who could maybe be John Butler (he's still got dreads, right?) and a man from Lower Templestowe that looks a lot like astrophysicist Brian Cox.
Since posing as 360 in a radio interview with 3AW host Tom Elliott earlier this week, Fake 360 has returned to a relatively low-key life of battle rap and attending to his burgeoning pet-washing business, which he says was the primary reason behind the show contacting him to appear.
"The ABC rang me up after seeing that, as well as my creative pursuits, I am a struggling small-business owner," a fake Fake 360 told SPA Confidential. "And I think maybe they just wanted to be able to represent the otherwise silenced voices of the not-insignificant white-rapper-turned-entrepreneur set."
"I also look forward to discussing the watered-down pool of cultural homogeneity from which most white rappers come that results in so many of us misunderstanding the proper application of baseball caps or how clothes-sizing works," he continued. "I really think we need to pay more attention to those kinds of issues. It's so sad — you've got grown men struggling to dress themselves, and it's just so pervasive at every level of the culture.
"White rappers are spilling out on every street, wearing pants six sizes too large for them, and society does nothing to help them. It's well beyond time for a change."
Save some for Q&A, fake Fake 360.
An exclusive report about the episode is expected to air on Tom Elliott's 3AW show on Tuesday.
