This Is Your Music Video: Bangs's "Take U To Da Movies"
I'm sure it's going to turn out that Bangs is one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who left his native village to wade through hundreds of miles of sun-bloated corpses only to find himself in a cramped and impoverished refugee camp in a country that despised him with little-to-no hope of ever finding his family again, never dreaming that one day he would finally escape the horror of his childhood to stand in front of a green screen and share his "music" with the world. But, you know, Woody Allen married his adoptive daughter, which is gross, and I still think that Annie Hall is a great movie, so, I can laugh at this. The artist's life is not the same thing as the artist's work! YOU CRAZY FOR THIS ONE, BANGS. (Thanks for the tip, Aimee.)

For some reason I was expecting a remix of Movies by Alien Ant Farm which made this even better.
Score = 2
Was that a drunk Kanye at 2:16?
Score = 2
I don't blame him for rapping about taking a girl to the movies in Sudan. Nothing rhymes with humanitarian catastrophe.
Score = 14
barbarian blaspheme
Score = 0
"you have POPCORN? i guess you do know what i like..."
Score = 8
This is one your mom can enjoy! No talk of hos, booties, bangin' pussy till it's raw (sorry), or lick-lick-lickin' anyone from their head to their toes. Just let's go to the movies, and I'll buy tickets and popcorns and drinks for some good clean romantic fun.
"See, now there's a black man you don't have to be afraid of!" - your beloved but misguided racist grandmother
Score = 31
I hope the rest of the Bill Cosby album is this good!
Score = 13
I hope that not all music in Sudan is written on a Fisher Price synth.
Score = 7
Bangs clearly comes out of the Wesley Willis school of composition.
Score = 4
I like that it's a romantic hip-hop song where the girl's not sucking dick 30 seconds in. Just movies, popcorn, leaning on his chest. It's the "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" of 2009.
Score = 17
Well, he has a nice vocal range. Those "harmonizing" background vocals are pretty high-pitched.
Score = 4
Falsetto rap. Who knew? Bangs knew.
Score = 7
Old memes neva die.
Score = 0
Except they do.
Score = 6
About 4 o'clock! Don't be late!

I hope he doesn't take me to see Couples Retreat. I've already seen it.
Score = 19
This is rather begging to be a meme on 4chan, isn't it?
Score = 3
The music track gave me flashbacks to "Always and Forever" by Kip Dynamite:

It made me happy.
Score = 2
"Let me take u to da mooviiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeees"
is kinda sounds like da cake eature (sp?) ....
Score = -1
I like that he's prompt about movie times. 4 PM! Don't be late! I have lots of love for this guy.
Score = 17
This is just a glaring euphemism for going down on his girl. I think it's sweet and really respectful that he would write a song about it. My only question is: what's the popcorn?
Score = -2
Let's be by my side? How's that possible!? He's beside himself. With you.
Score = 10
I like when he tells her she's looking beautiful over the phone.
Score = 9
What Is the What The Fuck
Score = 16
Upvotes to infinity, CheRRRie!
Score = 0
Yeah, its hilarious that a Sudanese refugee doesn't have as firm a grasp on modern rap music and technology as me but is still interested in it.
Score = 10
Hitting upvote repeatedly even though I know it does nothing...
Score = 0
Steps involved in taking a shorty to the movies:
Hold the popcorn and the drink (already?)
Let me pay the money
Hold my hand
Take a step to the door (don't fall)
Lets sit on those two chairs
Lets be by my side and watch what's going on
Score = 5
Love that he does the Jay-Z "ahaa".
We've got the Sudanese Hove right here.
Score = 0
his voice is like a mix of fergie and jesus
Score = 3
I don't know, I mean this kind of breaks my heart. Is this dude just another YouTube "artist" in front of a green screen who would not break my heart if he weren't Sudanese/African, is that too whiteamericagum, or is his effort legitimately pathetic? HELP ME DECIDE HOW TO FEEL.
Score = 3
Does the phone number 0403 mean that less than 9,999 phone numbers exist in the Sudan?
Score = 3
Australian mobile area code.
Score = 0
My ears are bleeding.

I present you the latest member of GLEE

Gabe, I love it when you hang up your good person suit and just go for it.
Score = 2
Bangs is from Melbourne, he is living it large with all this media attention.
Does this count as fake rap?
