Almost since he was a kitten, Rapcat was hustling his mixtapes on the street and in the parking lot of Checkers, his favorite hangout. His underground cred, already strong, skyrocketed when he got sent off to the St. Louis Home for Delinquent Felines, for the “crime” of dealing catnip. (Which is legal, but we all know no jury’s gonna give a cat a fair trial.) |

Controversy
The fast food chain Checkers has come under fire for its new "Rap Cat" campaign.
The promotional campaign encourages customers to cut holes in their hamburger bag then put their cat inside.
In the Checkers commercial, Rap Cat is a puppet. Now, the burger chain that likes to push its dual-drive-through concept is under fire for special burger bags designed to look like Rap Cat's jersey, complete with a 3-step process to modify the bag so you can force your cat to wear it.
Checkers is asking customers to send in their best shots or videos.
"It appears to be an exercise, I'm sorry, in ignorance," says Marti Ryan with Hillsborough county, Florida Animal Control. He says people who try to follow through with the Checkers promotion could hurt themselves or their cat.
"So if you try to put them in a paper bag and make them dance and take pictures, they're going to exhibit a typical fight or flight response. And if they fight, you're going to get hurt," he says.
A Checkers spokesperson says the Rap Cat bag promo is not intended to hurt animals. Checkers does have a disclaimer on their hamburger bags.
It reads, "Not all cats will be down with wearing this bag. Do not harm or endanger any cat."
Hillsborough county, Florida Animal Services officials are considering asking a judge to force Checkers to bag the promotion by issuing a temporary injunction.
Description
Note: This is a biased account of Rap Cat's rise to the upper echelons of The Game. It is from Rap Cat's official website, and may be erroneous.
Hip hop used to be a human’s game. Not anymore.
Here comes Rapcat. The most skilled cat-rapper on the scene today – and some say, the most skilled rapper of any species.
Rapcat’s got a flow that cannot be matched, honed in the streets and alleys of his hometown, Jersey City. In the tradition of the greatest East Coast rappers, Rapcat writes all his own lyrics.
Almost since he was a kitten, Rapcat was hustling his mixtapes on the street and in the parking lot of Checkers, his favorite hangout. His underground cred, already strong, skyrocketed when he got sent off to the St. Louis Home for Delinquent Felines, for the “crime” of dealing catnip. (Which is legal, but we all know no jury’s gonna give a cat a fair trial.)
While in “The Cage,” Rapcat perfected a tougher rhyme style. Once a week he’d squeeze through the bars and sneak over to Rally’s. He would bring some burgers back for himself, and some to trade with the other cats for balls of yarn and recording equipment.
By the time he got out for good behavior, Rapcat’s first full-length album was complete. His tales of hard livin’ on the streets form the core of “Look What I Dragged In,” already a bootleg classic.
In 2006, Rapcat was rocketed to worldwide fame with his appearance in the now-famous Checkers/Rally’s TV commercial.
Now he’s back with his major-label debut, “8 Lives Left.” 12 new jams to fire up the radio, rip up the dancefloors, and make the national booty shake. The killer first track, “Meow Meow,” rides like a white-leather upholstered Caddy on a silk highway, with a strawberry milkshake in the cupholder.
