    There’s a Dutch rapper called Typhoon who can rap but speaks with a stutter

      Everybody’s saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn’t ever stutter when he sings.

        Ozzy Osbourne is nigh unintelligible when he speaks, but then sings incredibly well.

        ETA: fixed intelligible to unintelligible

          Really? From his work in sabbath, he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, which is basically what he is.

          And I’m a fan of Ozzy era sabbath, precisely because he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, wheras Dio is the far better singer. Which took away from the atmosphere of sabbath. That and Iommi for some reason started to write a lot more in line with other people in the 80s.

      Looked up a song and this interview, seems to check out

      Interesting. I guess it’s not even having to put a tune to the speech, just trying to work it with rhythmn seems to help (at least Typhoon).

      EDIT : I remember an interview where James Earl Jones (among others) have said they took up acting to help with their stuttering.
