We have to spoof it with a nerd slant tho.....riced out iPods.....a case of Bawls chillin' in the fridge.....having actually spoken to a woman......you know... 😛

 
It's not just rap that sucks, most lusic is actually rather piss poor at the moment. Sure there are a few gems, but a lot is just mindless crap that's put out to appeal to the retarded markets who just buy something because they have no mind of their own.

The success of all the TV shows in the UK, the singers/bands from them getting to number 1 just shows how influenced by the media and stupidly predictable most of the music market seems to be at the moment.

It's a shame, and it's also one thing that probably accounts for the decline in CD sales.

MOST CURRENT MUSIC SUCKS, people don't buy it, the RIAA blames mp3's.

Maybe instead of stopping piracy, they should have a limit on the number of crap songs or wailing cats that can be released, so the market is not flooded by hundreds of songs all sounding the same.

Once you win the hip hop/rap award on mtv don't forget to holla and give shout outs to first and formost God.. then your pastor.. then point to you lard ass mom out in the crowd... and all yo niggaz who helped you get to where you at... the top babey.. 😛

We have to figure out how to work stuff like "OMFG!" and "1337" and "teh" into the songs as well...

EDIT- what are you talking about with a "carful" of women. Having spoken to one woman (and IM doesn't count) makes you the Uber-Mack-Daddy in nerd circles.....no one's going to buy the "carload" thing....that's just reaching too far. 😛

I have this wonderful dream. Share in my vision.

Fausto, Skoorb, and I (under fake names) make a sellout rap group. We pimp the Thug Life, the Bling Bling, and the Cash Money Hoes. And then, at the peak of our popularity, on national television, in front of a record-setting audience, we proceed to trash rap in all its forms and thank the asinine masses for giving us enough money to ensure the financial success of the next seventy or so generations of our bloodlines.

Then we run like hell. 😀

Oh fo 'sho! We can name ourselves the Gold Plat Rappaz. I'll keep the name Skoorb but I want the S to be a dollar sign: $koorb and I will have, on the official logos and what not, gold medalions in place of the Os. My trademark will be a two and a half pound plate used in weightlifting - except cast in pure gold. It will hang on a platinum chain.

Granted, the song is ignorant. It is highly unintelligible, stupid, etc... However, don't blame the Three-Six Mafia or any other rapper or rap group for it. They are taking advantage of the industry that advertises and sells their material to media outlets. This is the same industry that advertises and sells the very music you enjoy. This is the industry that propogates sex, drugs, and violence to the public for the sake of the almighty dollar. Hell, you can't even blame them for it. They're just taking advantage of the very essense that is the United States. Capitalism: making a profit and being the top dog.

Realize that they along with the rest of their crew were likely living right around the poverty level before they became "rappers." Any chance to sell-out and make money regardless of what it may be is a blessing to them. If you had a chance to take care of your family with some spare change, would you? I definitely would. Forget about the song, think about the entire scenario.

Agreed....my rant was primarily about why the hell that song was on my TV, not the people who actually wrote it. I'm floored that someone green-lighted a song about RIMS for a video shoot, promotion and airplay. 😕

Believe me, it could be MUCH worse....
 
Whoa... I saw someone mention the forming the rap group earlier in this thread, and it suddenly occurred to me... Weird Al Yankovic doesn't do parodies of rap music, does he?
The market for rap parodies is WIDE open! And.... as a bonus... it takes minimal skill!
(so as not to offend the rap fans (I even listen to a bit of it... a bit...) let me explain.. you'd have to do parodies of the songs everyone's familiar with... the sell out songs that show no talent. Not the underground stuff that shows an outpouring of talent)

Unfortunately a parody of rap would probably just look like a normal rap song 🙁

Bill O'Reilly laid the smack down last night. It was funny. He predicted that rap would be a dinosaur in 10 years. We can only hope. At least in this current form anyway.

Maybe the current form of "bling bling rims hoes" sh1t will be a dinosaur but there is no way in hell that rap in general will be a dinsaur in 10 years.

Like some others have said, I favor the beats over the lyrics in these type of songs. I listen to a couple 3-6 Mafia songs, hell, I have no idea what the lyrics are and I don't really care. They probably suck. But I like the beats and how the words flow.
Take "Tear Da Club Up" for example. I don't like clubs. I hate dancing. But I enjoy the music part of it: Bass drum hits, the rapid little cymbal hits, background sample, snare hits. Blah I don't know where I'm going with this but I think you get the idea. 🙂 😛
 
I like the throwback processors idea...come out with an intel 386 t-shirt or pics of the PCjr. You can include all sorts of throwback hardware...stompin' in muh GeForce Ones?
 
"It's All About The Pentiums"
Tune: All About the Benjamins

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Yeah

What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him "Money" for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
It's all about the Pentiums, what?
You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller

It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)

Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?

Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em printed out on my bedsheets
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique
Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operation system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
Got a flat-screen monitor forty inches wide wide
I believe that your says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, "alt.total-loser"
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Where'd you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
What? What? What? What? What?

It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers

9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
What??
