He was Mikimix, a nonentity singer, and his self-loathing gave birth to Caparezza.(cfr. Kojay Gutzemberg - to be continued). His real name is Michele Salvemini and he comes from Italy, Puglia (Molfetta).
Caparezza is so far ahead of all other non-English language rappers that hes lapping them. Whilst the rest Xerox West Coast gangstaisms circa 1995 (watch Polish music television for some of the most hilarious/mind-numbingly depressing examples of this artform), Caparezza employs a style more Italian than waving your arms about wildly when you dont get a penalty. Whilst you stagger around blindly trying to stem your nosebleed, he rhymes Ariel Sharon with Tron, and twists rhymes so intricate as to leave you lost in Italianate lyricism without a Baedeker.
