Icy Hot Stuntaz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Icy Hot Stuntaz were a trio of white DB rappers from Toccoa, Georgia that became an Internet phenomenon. The group formed as early as 2001 in the form of a GeoCities Web site featuring "Blade" (real name Rusty Shedd), "Da Flame" (real name Brian Edmonds) and "Freeze" (real name Eric Dean) wearing flashy jewelry and acting in a way resembling black street culture. The Internets, however, were not convinced, almost universally referring to the Stuntaz as a group of teenage posers.
Nevertheless, the Stuntaz site consistently denied being a parody. As a result, the entire site became flamebait, attracting insults, threats and hacking attempts. It has also spawned a number of parodies; so many in fact, that it is now difficult to determine which Stuntaz site is genuine.
It is also difficult to determine which music is actually theirs as well. The real group produced 6 songs, 3 of which were leaked onto the Internet. However, much more music was created by imposter groups that included large amounts of vulgar language in their songs, which hurt the Stuntaz' reputation even more so.
"Da Flame" is now producing his own music under his new name "B-Shoc", and is also head of the record label "Flip Flop Entertainment".
