Pras Lives Life As Homeless Man, in "First Night" Documentary
I was coming in here to post about that new fugees track (which is just ok overall but features Lauryn s p i t t i n g, praise jebus) and make a joke about them being kind enough to put Pras' verse last so DJ's can cut right to the next record. But then I saw his name on this project, which might actually be kinda cool. It also sets him up for 8,000 more jokes, but that's all the more reason to give him a few props for taking it on:
Pras Michel of The Fugees is presently filming "First Night," a documentary in which he's living on a $1 per day budget in Los Angeles.
The film captures the Grammy Award winning rapper posing as a homeless man in Los Angeles. "The dollar a day didn't get me much at all," Pras told New York's Daily News. "You have to hustle, steal, shoplift or prostitute yourself. I chose panhandling. People gave me the worst looks. Like I was invisible and at the same time the worst person on Earth..."
"...I slept in the rain. My tent was stolen. I experienced how these people live," Pras offered.
"...People aren't going to understand what it was like until they see it," Pras stressed. "Human beings should not be sleeping among rats."
