Why you asking all them questions?
Emmanuel Hudson is blowing up on YouTube. Could the Grammys be calling next?
?
The dude with the dreads and the crazy facial expressions is Emmanuel Hudson, an Atlanta-based rapper who goes by the name Kosher. But it’s his viral novelty-song videos that have been blowing up. Together, he and his brother Phillip Hudson are like a hood-version of the Lonely Island, with homemade YouTube videos dating back to 2009 that ponder such perpetually puzzling topics as fine girls with doo-doo-stained draws, chronic broke daters, and ratchet girls who have the nerve to think they’re fly. Besides racking up millions of views via YouTube and WorldStarHipHop, they’ve also put together an “Asking All Them Questions” ringtone. Emmanuel was scheduled to appear on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show (Hot 107.9) this morning, and there’s some unconfirmed rumor spreading via Facebook about him doing something associated with the Grammy Awards this weekend. Don’t laugh, at last count the king of novelty Weird Al Yankovic’s raked in a total of three Grammys and nine noms.

But the Grammy-associated buzz may pale in comparison to the homages the Hudsons have already received from all the copycat covers and parodies posted in recent months — most of them more goofy, ratchet, shameless, weird, cute, bootleg, and endearing than the original.
