Nutter raps again (Updated: Yep, it was Rapper's Delight)

Sure, the Philadelphia School District superintendent is leaving just before classes start; but there's real news to report today: Mayor Nutter has rapped again.

Famous (or infamous) for his previous raps — most or all of which were the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," — Nutter answered whatever voice it is in him that compels him to occasionally and inoffensively rap again this weekend, as captured by ABC 6.

It was, we should note, for a  cause (other than to give a lot to the cause 'cause the cause has been risen), in this case to recognize, along with Will Smith, Philadelphia rapper Lady B at the Dell Music Center.

What, exactly, he was rapping wasn't clear from the video to this reporter. We've put out a call to the Mayor's Press Office.

Mayor spokesman Mark McDOnald has confirmed that the mayor was, indeed, performing "Rapper's Delight."

"As far as I know, he only does Rapper's Delight," McDonald wrote in an email.
