Tina Fey has already cemented herself in the pantheons of comedic fame as an Emmy-awarding winning writer for 30 Rock, and as a Saturday Night Live cast member. Now, she can add proffesional rapper to her long list of accomplishments.
Fey's hinted at her inner-rap star as Lemonem on 30 Rock and as the writer of the Mathlete's rap in Mean Girls, but her verses in Childish Gambino's newest mixtape introduce her skills (or lack thereof) as a professional rapper.
Community star Donald Glover, who raps under the name Childish Gambino and worked with Fey as a writer on 30 Rock, released his new mixtape Royalty on Wednesday. Musical luminaries Beck, Ghostface Killah and RZA also contributed to the mixtape which is available as a free download on his site.
On Royalty's final track Real Estate, Fey follows verses from rapper Alley Boy Swank and raps about Nordstrom and not using the N-word. We have collected Twitter responses to her rhymes and you can listen to Fey's rap in the video below. Then, let us know in the comments what you think of the track.
@DanSoder knows how to party:
Just a normal day of drinking an Activia smoothy and listening to Tina Fey rap. I live a dangerous life.

@SirGstone thinks Fey can hold her own against the professional rappers:
First off this Childish Gambino tape is a PROBLEM. And best rap verse of 2012 goes to Tina Fey. Yup, I said it.

@olau is clearly a 30 Rock fan:
Tina Fey's rap on that Childish Gambino song would've been so much better if she'd ended it with "Lemon out!"

The artist formerly known as Lemonem's Real Estate verse:
Yeah we in here, we in this thing
Gambino is forever, royalty is forever
We ballin' till we fuckin up the hardwood homey
This the life we live, son
My president is black and my Prius is blue, motherfucker
Royalty all day, we droppin' racks at Nordstrom, son
That's racks on racks damn it
you feel me? You feel me?
This is the part where most people would say something crazy and drop the n-word after it
Not going to, I'm not going to do that, I don't feel comfortable!
I'm out
