Welcome to “Lost”, the Rap Edition Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/23/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Television, If Your Favorite Rapper Was

IWhile watching our favorite shows it’s sometimes fun to wonder what rappers and Hip-Hop icons would fit in perfectly as a character in certain television shows. RefinedHype.com recently took a handful of our favorite Hip Hop celebrities and paired them up with characters from the hit television show “LOST.” Check out what we came up with.

James “Sawyer” Ford - Fabolous

In early season’s of “LOST” Sawyer had a thing for calling people out of their name with hilarious nicknames like Pippi Longstockings, Mr. Miyagi, and Pillsbury. Rapper Fabolous seems to echo Sawyer’s penchant for poking fun of people with his various Trending Topic’s on Twitter. Fab has made fun of everyone from Bow Wow to Young Berg with Trending Topics like #YoungBergsHead.

John Locke - Russell Simmons

Both Locke and Simmons represent very spiritual, older men who also happen to kind of resemble one another physically.

Ben Linus - 50 Cent

It’s pretty safe to say that in Hip-Hop, 50 Cent definitely knows how to manipulate situations to keep himself relevant. 50 Cent may not be on Ben’s level when it comes to manipulation, but Fiddy definitely has that trait covered.

Daniel Faraday - Lupe Fiasco

While Lupe might not be gifted when it comes to all things physics related, his self-proclaimed status as the “Hip-Hop Nerd” makes him a shoe-in for the role of Daniel Faraday, the island’s resident nerd.

Shannon Rutherford - Nicki Minaj

There aren’t many rappers out there who echo Shannon’s overly-girly persona so Nicki Minaj was of course the first pick when it came to the character of Shannon. Nicki Minaj’s love for the color pink and heavy use of the word “Barbz” pretty much sealed the deal for this character/rapper choice.
