Atlanta - Viewers of rap artists writhing around making repetitive spastic arm gestures and wearing baggy clothing have been traced to a mysterious skin rash like eczema that seems to be contracted by rap artists.

"I went to the walk-in clinic and tole the doc my problem. He jus shook his head and said he could'n help me and suggested I wear wear baggy clothes an loosen my belt buckle."
"Sorry son that's the best I can do" is what he tole me. That's what he sez."
"So I split that dum ass and went back to my music while the itch done got worse."
"Got so I was trying to scratch both my sides at the same time while rappin."
"I tried not to scratch like my momma tole me so I used the back a my hanz instead. Kids watchin didn't know I was suffr'n somethin terrible and thought it was part of the act. They started scratching themselves witha the backa their hanz jus like me."
"If'n that warn't bad enuf the itch spread to the toppa my hed an got so bad I had to stand on my hed and spin around to get some relief."
"Now I got the urge to scratch day and night so bad I forgets the words to purt'near evry song and jes start repeat'n things."
