I'm assuming Eli Meltzer's stage name is an inside joke, since about half of the Dirty South rappers have "Smoove" in their name. Meltzer is a different kind of Southern rapper - for one thing, he's not from the South. Born there, technically, but he was raised right here in the Bay Area. Second, he's hilarious, on purpose. Perhaps the best comparison is another Bay Area totally-serious-about-joking hip-hop act, Wallpaper. Like Ricky Reed, Meltzer uses deadpan delivery to melt the line between satire and artistic expression. Still, if "Long Duck Dong" seems like a personal statement to you, you might be a redneck.
