BackDraft? Naw. Cal Akbar.

A Philadelphia firefighter who called police "pigs" and threatened to turn them into "bacon bits" in a rap song has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, a Fire Department official said yesterday.

Rodney Jean-Jacques, 30, who performs as Cal Akbar, drew condemnation from police and fire officials after police officers revealed the lyrics on an Internet bulletin board April 10. He lists his label as Larsiny Records and has a bio at http://www.larsinyrecords.com/ that explains that he began rapping in the ninth grade as Kid Caliber. He later named himself Cal (for caliber) Akbar (Arabic for great).

Although Jean-Jacques did not respond yesterday to a message left at his mother's house, his MySpace page identifies him as Akbar - "Public Enemy #1”.

Under interests, he lists: "Rapping, reading, writing, weight lifting, shop lifting, gettin money, spendin money, the internet, photography, drinking cognac, handguns, assualt rifles, driving fast, sex, and any activity that I can get an adreneline rush from."

He is quoted as saying his influences are "life itself . . . things I read, things I see, life experiences . . . all of that inspires me."

The bio proclaims: "When you hear Cal Akbar's thunderous voice, you know a storm is coming, so you'd better take shelter!"
