Let's Paint, Exercise, And Make Raps On Our Desks
Look at this guy! Lyric, AKA the Lyrical God. He's like the anti-Soulja Boy (for now). Killing it.
We can do it all, you guys. Even if we fail, at least we will have tried. This kid is great. We should all try harder to be great, you guys.
Not that the YouTube Ghouls see it that way. Seriously, I am sick and tired of these YouTube Ghouls. They are making the rest of us look bad, and by the rest of us I mean all of humanity. Is this really the world that we want to live in? I hope Steve Carrell finishes building his arc soon so that God can flush this place down the toilet that it has become (huh?). I mean, it's one thing to not like something. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of not liking things. But surely there is room for all of us. Look at this guy, working so hard to ruin everything:
Ugh. Someone took the time to write that to a total stranger. In regards to a video made by another stranger. I guess it's easier than just not saying anything at all? (It is not easier than just not saying anything at all.) And the worst part is that there is absolutely nothing surprising about it. Well, I suppose it's mildly surprising that he didn't call anyone a "gay retard." Baby steps towards a more civil society? I am really discouraged by this. I'd demand that we shut it all down, but I don't even have the energy. Even the rebuttals are draining:
Woof. I guess shut ur [double-sic] little13 year old mouth up fool is effective.
We can do better guys. More raps on desks. Less goblins on Internets.

I know it's not exactly news that YouTube commenters are gross, but I'm glad it's been brought up again. Sometimes that kind of shit just makes me really depressed about society in general - like, this is what we've all accepted as okay cause its "teh internetz" and that's just how it is. I could go for a little less :( in life, you know?
Score = 5
The Best Movie That Will Never Be Made:
Filmed entirely in spit-screen, the left side tells the tale of an determined young man with lofty musical aspirations. We follow his inspirational story as through sheer discipline and hard work, he rises to become a well-respected hip-hop superstar, and eventually the voice of a generation.
The right side of the screen tells the story of a guy who spends most of his days online, calling whatever the young genius does 'gay' and 'retarted'.
Roll credits.
Score = 10

I've watched/listened to this four times and am in love. I can't get over 'you don't want beef / cus youz a vegetarian.' What else could top a fat southern kid throwing a tantrum over bacon. Only this guy. Fuck the haters. Who the fuck comments on Youtube? (Don't answer that.)
Score = 3
The whole time all I could think was "I can't do, at all, what he's doing. If I had to do what he's doing under the penalty of death for failure, I'd die. For sure."

Lyrical God Tell 'Em.

yeah this is very cool. the only thing that makes me sad is when it (hopefully) gets produced its going to get blown out and overdone with auto tune and a drum machine. oh well, we will always have the Tubes.

MORE RAPS ON DESKS!

You know, you can hide the comments on all YouTube videos. Like, if you do it once, it just stays that way 'till you un-do it. It's like there are no comments. Like you live in a golden alternate world where YouTube has no comment function.

Wow - Lets spend MORE money on public education!

Wow. I used to get in trouble for doing this at school, beating on desks while my friends freestyled. Maybe because we all sucked at it.
Straight As for this kid. All four years.

I could watch videos of that guy doing raps all day.
I would also buy a ticket if he came my way. :)
Score = 1
a lot of times i feel like i don't like the interwebs because people are so mean so i'm really proud of the monsters for being a bastion of critical but not hateful commentary. secondly, dude. maybe i'm just especially rhythmless but this guy taps particularly talententedly. keeping the beat is hard! go lyric! i like your talent!
Score = 1
Before I begin, I swear to God I'm not trolling:
I don't see the problem with Soulja Boy. Clearly he's no musical genius, but I kind of his admire to self-produce a single, create a dance craze to accompany it, and promote himself. Soulja Boy is a DIY success story, and I don't wanna shit all over that. And yeah, Crank That is a little annoying, it's also pretty infectious (and a hell of a lot less annoying then this year's lame excuses for summer jams). I get the complaint that Soulja Boy-style disposable "ringtone" rap diminishes hip hop's power as a tool of empowerment, but he's no worse Master P or a whole slew of other shitty mid-90s rappers. And if we have to hate on shitty, commercial rap, why can't we go after people like The Black Eyed Peas who lack Soulja Boy's punk credibility.
Also best wishes to Lyric.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Soulja Boy's punk credibility! TBS Very Funny!
