After Andrew Schulz&#039;s concerns about Kanye West and his comeback

Who Is Michael Rapaport? The &#8216;Friends&#8217; Star Who Unleashed a Verbal Attack on Kanye West Days After Vultures Rave

When Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] promised a
comeback this year, it built a lot of steam in the industry as it should. Yet,
the main acts were under scrutiny not just in the musical arena but also in
Tinseltown. Considering his status as a global figure with untameable influence,
the anticipation came accompanied by subtle criticisms. Adding to the row of
backlashes this time after Andrew Schulz, it is Michael Rapaport. 

While many will know him from his cameo role in the NBC sitcom, Friends, there
also remains much unknown about him.


WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT MICHAEL RAPAPORT?

Years ago, among the several guest appearances featured in Friends, Michael
Rapaport was briefly portrayed as Phoebe Buffay’s love interest. However, his
nuances in the comedy genre were exploring the likes of many shows and flicks
apart from Friends. Having made over 100 features in both cinema and television,
he also made a directorial debut with his documentary about the hip-hop group
called A Tribe Called Quest. 



One thing that has been transparent about the comedian is his enduring love for
rap music. Therefore, his involvement often surpassed beyond the cinematic
preludes to music videos. Some of them would include Jay-Z’s ‘The City Is Mine’,
Snoop Dogg’s ‘Lavender (Nightfall Remix), and Ludacris’s ‘Runaway Love’ among
others. His advocacy for the hip-hop genre also found a place in several
podcasts, including his own called I am Rapaport: Stereo Podcast.

While his active participation in the musical field saw his opinions surfacing
numerous times, this time his backlash was for the man of the hour, Kanye West.


WHAT DID MICHAEL RAPAPORT SAY ABOUT KANYE WEST?

Michael Rapaport’s vocal championing of the rap genre has been witness to many
of his criticisms. Among the recent ones, it is Kanye West who was at prey for
his Las Vegas rant. During a live stream hosted by Ye in the Vegas rave, he went
all out with his venting. Among the several hot topics he touched, he also
revealed something surprising about his daughter, North.

Heralding from very distinct political views, the rapper’s point of view did not
sit well with Michael Rapaport. Instead, in his response, the American comedian
made a stinging condemnation of Kanye West, retorting that he is an
“embarrassment”. Along with the caustic feedback, he also denounced the rapper’s
retreat in music. While this is not the first time that Rapaport made his
cutting remarks on West, it surely feels this is the most scornful he has been.
