Years before Scott Caan would become the pompous character Scott Lavin on Entourage and playing Danno on Hawai’i 5-0, he was a rapper affiliated with Cypress Hill. Yes, you read that right. Scott went by Mad Skillz and together with fellow emcee Mudfoot (years later, he would be known to us as Alchemist), these two PNCs ran together as the rap duo known as The Whooliganz. Their run was in the early 90s, when Cypress and Soul Assassins was running thangs. Although they never officially put out a full length LP, they did drop two singles that were pretty big in the underground scene. Put Your Handz Up was produced by the legendary DJ Lethal and showcases that signature Cypress Hill funk. Hardbody. Whooliganz was produced by Baka Boyz and featured a verse by B-Real. Enjoy these (2)dope slices of nostalgic FUNK.

Lmao, awesome random info.
i did hear about this some years back in Alchemist interview
dope good to see someone took the time to up this, thanks 2dope
i bet alc has mad whooliganz tracks in his stash that he will never release…fuck that i wanna hear them shits!
I first saw him in Gone In 60 Seconds, always thought he was a pretty funny character but didn’t know he rapped, you live and you learn.
well this cam out of no where
scott caans the muhfuckin man
who is spitting which verses? i honestly cant recognize either as alchemist’s or scott caan’s voices
The real irony of this shit is that they sound like a white west coast version of Mobb Deep circa “Juvenile Hell” before they flipped their style to what we know today. This is very similar to how Tom Greene used to rap with Organized Rhyme before he became a comedian/actor….he could spit as well.

Sick! I woulda paid money to hear that conversation!
@download I saw an interview with Evidence (he was in a hotel room eating on his bed with no shoes on lol) where he was shown an old picture of him, ALC and a bunch of childhood friends including the lead singer from Crazy Town.
He mentioned that back then ALC would rap better then he does now.

The beat for the original version of Put Ya Hands Up is actually a track for House of Pain’s second album (forgot the name of the song).
I remember seeing this during an evidence interview too. And he even said wtf happened to alc’s flow. Shit was better than. He’s good now…but he could be better. And I had no idea scott cann rapped. Now I’m gonna look at him in a entire new light lol.
