I love it when you call me Big Hanukkah

There’s a 47-year-old public defender in Camden profiled in the Inquirer today. Nothing too fancy, except she’s also a rapper. Yawn. I’ve heard of assistant district attorneys who rap, and they might have a little tougher time winning fans in a rap battle, being ADAs and all. Tell me something interesting, Inky!

Ruth Ann Mandell isn’t any ordinary rapper-on-the-side: she’s a Jewish anti-smoking parody song rapper. Now that’s a scoop! (Pictured at left: An unrelated Jewish rapper.)

The Inky profile tells of her performance at an anti-smoking rap at Rowam University, and how the kids clapped “enthusiastically” for “Blue Latitude,” her antismoking rap based on Patti LaBelle’s “New Attitude.” Clearly, kids at Rowan are fairly easily amused.

Other songs by our rapping attorney? Why, none other than “Dear Dr. Kevorkian” and “Last Nite ‘Cop Killa’ Saved My Life.”

I can’t wait for her mixtape to hit the streets.

Rap of the gavel not the only rap she hears [Inky]
