Paging Eminem!! R-Patz Wanted To Be A Rapper

Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Eminem > Robert Pattinson

Aw, isn't he just adorable!

Robert Pattinson claims that as a child, he wanted to be a rapper! He recently admitted to his childhood hobby, saying:

"You want a secret? OK, how about this – I’ve got a whole collection of tapes of me rapping from when I was 13! I wanted to be a rapper so there are hundreds and hundreds of tapes. They’re very amusing!

I was obsessed with Eminem when I was younger. When he first came out I was about 12 and fanatical about his Slim Shady CD. I think he’s a genius.

Most of my rhymes were stolen off other people anyway. They were all like, 'I was raised on these streets…,' which was a complete farce because I was actually raised in quite a nice area of London called Barnes. Not very ghetto at all!
I was obsessed with it all, though. I even had my own little crew – we called ourselves Big Tub and the Tappy Cats."

Oh yeah, real tough. Big Tub and Tappy Cats from the streets of Barnes. LOLs, just stick to acting and sparkly vampires, bb.

Didn't you already talk about this months ago? I know Robert gave an interview awhile ago where he talked about this same thing. Now I know actors tend to repeat themselves and stories but this really is old news
