Brett Domino: Hip-Hop Medley – Stylophone Beatbox
Posted by Chris on Friday, October 16, 2009

Thanks to Spikeyboy for digging this one up. This is his find, so I’ll use his words, “Charmingly inept. How polite could rap get?”

How cool is that damn thing? These guys make it look so easy, I want one! Of course, I’d have an easier time growing beets than dropping beats. I have no musical talent whatsoever.

The Young Cons
Posted by Chris on Wednesday, June 17, 2009

You think it is easy to be a snarky blogger? Sitting around, passing judgment on others and being mean is fairly simple, I’ll admit. However, sometimes there’s a fork in the road. Yes I can take some shots at these people, yet then I am contributing to their 15 minutes. Despite laughing and making fun of them, I am still helping to spread their material.

This was one of those times where I decided to post it, yet I question if it is the right thing to do.

Here’s the thing, YOU CAN’T RAP!

Just because you can rhyme, hold a microphone sideways and shove you hand in the air aggressively does not make you a rapper. You can videotape yourself having sex and that does not make you a porn star, try it and you’ll see. You need talent, which is a magical ingredient that cannot be learned whether you are a rapper or a porn star.

I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. I also love that the technical crew (all of who went to broadcasting school to be on air talent so they neglected to study anything else but sitting in front of a camera) decides that since this is a ‘music act’ the lights on the set should flicker? Creative lighting for sure.

“We watch a lot of rap at our house because I got kids & you’re not dressed like rappers.” Nice segue. What the hell channel still plays music videos? “Watch a lot of rap.” Yeah, I listen to a lot of dance concerts myself.
