Skitzocow Raed 'R.A.E.D' Melki- Australian Rap Terrorist -

[DuskEngine]

Raed 'R.A.E.D' Melki is a rapper, media producer, and filmmaker based out of Melbourne, Australia. He is the owner of TripplaH Productions and the director, producer, and lead actor of the feature-length still flowin the movie.

As he reveals in this interview, he was formerly a meth trafficker before he turned to music.

His media output is notably prolific and amazingly obtuse. If you have any idea what the fuck he's saying here, please clue me in:

Spoiler: autism

His magnum opus, still flowin, opens with two minutes of dead silence, after which it transitions to title cards where he begs for money(!) and lists out his bank details(!!)

It then launches into an epic tale where newly unemployed rapper R.A.E.D must navigate a shadowy conspiracy between the music industry and the government in order to break out in the Melbourne rap scene.

Art imitates life, and R.A.E.D has indeed suffered legal difficulties in the pursuit of his craft. In 2001, Australian record executive Michael Gudinski filed a restraining order against Melki after he personally delivered a box to Gudinski's office. The contents of the box are unknown, but apparently merited a legal response. He claims the box contained CDs with videos that he describes as "entertaining," and "fucking goosebumps, man."

Also in 2001, he called in a fake bomb threat to the Crown Casino in Melbourne(!!!). The interview I linked earlier contains a fragment of that incident, where he staged a three-hour impromptu rap performance while being arrested, but the original from freenews.com.au seems to be missing.

Both of these events serve as the setup to still flowin, which sees R.A.E.D torture the Gudinski standin with tic-tacs (!!!!)

Here are his social media accounts I've been able to dig up:

You can also hire him. Or you can take part in the ongoing auditions for R.A.E.D's new projects, the revenge tale One Buy One and the drug thriller Rehabeekah.

Making an ass of himself in Indonesia, check.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Well he has come a long way alright. Just not in the way he thinks.

 

[Dr. Joel Fleischman]

Did you just start a RAED thread without posting this classic? Shame on you.

Spoiler: all of these women are prostitutes

 

[Muncie Anderson]

Huh. Easily the worst Australian rapper I've ever heard.

These recordings have drawn in an unbelievable response from the Melbourne music community

I bet they have!

 

[GS 281]

This is sorta like an Australian version of this guy

 

[HG 400]

You need to get staff approval to make a halal thread on me.

Watching RAED's Still Flowin' was one of the strangest experiences ever. It took me a whole day to find a site that would let me purchase the movie. it veers between abject boredom and insanity distilled on the screen. The Melburnian aspect added a certain piquancy to it as well.

This is literally mumblecore, not the twee indie stuff like Henry Fool, but RAED mumbling into a camera with a wish-fulfillment movie where he berates Michael Gudinski. Utterly insane.

You need to watch this.In the same way you need to watch Neil Breen's movies. We are all here because we appreciate strangeness.

The fuck I just I look at?

Heh Heh Heh....

Time to rant...



Settle in children, it looks like I'll be the Melburnian who becomes the RAED whisperer for kiwifarms. I get the context of this guy, I've been to a lot of the places in this wonderment of a movie so I can answer any questions you may have....

You're looking at what happens when the Australian equivalent of a jock decides to start rapping without being able to rap.

You're looking at a guy who called in a bomb threat to one of the world's largest casinos just to get his mix tape to major recording executive Michael Gudinski from mushroom records.

You're looking at a guy who was so butt-hurt about being punished for sending in a bomb threat that he made a fucking movie where he is a hero fighting back against corrupt cops and corrupt music executives who refuse to see his skills as a 'fully sick' rapper.


The worst thing is that Hip=Hop in Australia is typically a cottage industry. Not really supported by a large outfit like Mushroom records. So in reality, Gudinski would never have signed him as a rapper.

If you live in Melbourne why can't you spell it properly?

Melburnian is the term we use as a denonym for Melbourne.

Are you secretly RAED?

 

[Dr. Joel Fleischman]

Has anybody been to his garbage website yet? I mean, I'd go myself, but the color scheme is too edgy for me to handle.

The GOOD NEWS is he's doing product placement in his videos now! Kiwi bigwigs and fatcats would be fools not to take advantage of this exciting business opportunity!

Yeah, the fact he wanted people to work for free on his new magnum opus Rehabekah was pretty funny.
The thing is, he doesn't really respond or sperg out that much. The lolcow part of him is the fact that he desperately wants the trappings of fame as an Australian version of a baller.

There's a guy who worked at a cafe I occasionally go to that said he met RAED in the Apple store or I think it was My Byte in Collingwood while waiting to get his macbook fixed. This bloke reckons he spoke to RAED who started rapping at his girlfriend on the spot and incorporated his girlfriend's name in his atrocious non-rhyming spiel.


He can't rap. There's no ryhme scheme at all. Reeeeeeeeee!

What.

Fucking what.

In other news, has anyone mentioned the bomb threat he called in on a casino?

Yep. It's a central part of Still Flowin"
