Really? From his work in sabbath, he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, which is basically what he is.
And I’m a fan of Ozzy era sabbath, precisely because he sounds like a crackhead stuck in a well, wheras Dio is the far better singer. Which took away from the atmosphere of sabbath. That and Iommi for some reason started to write a lot more in line with other people in the 80s.
I wonder where the delineation between singing and rapping is in this case.
There’s a Dutch rapper called Typhoon who can rap but speaks with a stutter
Everybody’s saying that the Scatman stutters but doesn’t ever stutter when he sings.
If the Scatman can do it so can you.
Ozzy Osbourne is nigh unintelligible when he speaks, but then sings incredibly well.
ETA: fixed intelligible to unintelligible

Looked up a song and this interview, seems to check out

Interesting. I guess it’s not even having to put a tune to the speech, just trying to work it with rhythmn seems to help (at least Typhoon).
EDIT : I remember an interview where James Earl Jones (among others) have said they took up acting to help with their stuttering.
