Maybe knowing that his son rapper, Chet Hanks, I would never get the “White Boy Summer” he predicted, or at least that it will look very different from what I imagined—Rita Wilson decided to show us that rap is apparently a family affair, as she “spit out some flow” while judging tonight’s episode of The masked singer.
The totally impromptu performance came as the actress and producer criticized The Chameleon (who is almost definitely Wiz Khalifah). “You know, you might have a Chameleon competitor,” she said as she judged as a guest alongside Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger. “You may not know it about me, but I can spit out a little flow.” Encouraged by McCarthy, Wilson proceeded to become a verse of “Hip Hop Hooray.” The clip was posted to YouTube on Wednesday before the episode.
It’s not really the first time Wilson has performed the song Naughty By Nature. The actress and producer actually collaborated with the group on a “remix” of the song last April as part of a MusiCares COVID-19 relief fund. “‘ Hip Hop Hooray ’is like current Shakespeare,” Wilson said at the release of the remix. “I originally learned the song from one of the funniest roles I’ve played in the film New Genes. It took me a month to learn because it is very complex and nuanced; it was like training for a marathon ”. In a statement released by Naughty By Nature at the time, the group said they were “honored” that Wilson recited his lyrics: “We were totally surprised that he could violate the verses so well.”
Wilson’s flow was also impressive Masked singer Judge Nick Cannon, who recently He returned to the Fox reality singing competition after being replaced by Niecy Nash while recovering from COVID-19.. “Me! It’s classic television right there, ”said Cannon, who also began the show by blabbering on about Wilson’s musical accolades. singer, songwriter, actress and producer with four albums on her belt. He has performed all over the world on such iconic stages as the Grand Ole Opry to the Sydney Opera House. Her latest singles “I Wanna Kiss Bob Dylan” and “Hello World” are now available. “
