Richard Terfry knows a thing or two about where to find the right words.
The MC, producer and turntablist, better known as Buck 65, discovered they definitely can't be found in Pamela Anderson's bosom during a recent appearance on US television but throughout this captivating performance he had few problems finding them elsewhere.
Like all the most ingenious wordsmiths, it is impossible to say why his dark Canadian tones are so hypnotically alluring but his magnetic presence gripped the packed audience from the second he began talking.
His self-deprecating musings were both hilarious and poetically mesmerising, largely devoid of either slapstick or rhyme yet loaded with lyrical mastery and wit.
Scattering tales from his scrapbook and song, he was both the downbeat anti-hero and the ideal drinking buddy. Like Lou Reed reciting from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.
