Nephew is delusional about talent

Teenager doing stupid stuff. What do you expect. Have you ever watched a talent show on TV. It like a contest of who is the worst singer ever at time all on national TV. It makes for a good laugh.

Send him on a talent show, hell figure it out.
 
i went ahead and submitted that track to our local radio station to see if i can get him some air time. hell, if rebecca black can make it, why not your nephew?












just kidding. its horrible man. 🙂
 
There's a huge difference between being a little kid trying to be cool and just sounding god awful.

...yeah, I was thinking like, <15, not 19...

I also didn't listen to the link (at first). The music is something I can see a 12-14 year old doing, but the rap, quite frankly, IS what I generally call 'retard rap.'

Superslow 'freestyle' with this kind of 'chugging along' rhythm and you can still tell he's struggling. Stop. Just stop.
 
I like the idea of having him enter a talent show. That's probably a good and innocent way for him to get a wakeup call. Make him think it was his idea though.
 
I would be more concerned with the music just being a phase, or just his current or best idea. What will be his next plan?
 
Dunning-Kruger effect. Bad beats, terrible lyrics, even worse delivery and flow... You need to make him read this thread. Of course he is probably going to say something like "Haters gonna hate" but at least you tried. At least he is bad enough that nobody will ever give him a shot. It isn't like he will be able to eek by getting random small gigs hoping to make it big...he will never get a single dime from this so he won't ever try to live off of it.

It doesn't sound like quitting his job is the worst thing he can do either. I am willing to bet he makes near minimum wage in the service industry and will have no problem getting another job.
 
It was that bad. I don't want to crush the kid's dreams, but wow...he needs a wakeup call. I'm not the one to do it, but it's difficult just watching his family standing there while he self destructs.

The only "wakeup call" that ignorant fools of this generation can ever manage to see is LIFE BITCH SMACKING them across the face. Which is what will happen with the Maury baby daddy situation x2 that he has gotten himself into. The only problem we have is not allowing life to bitch smack them because we support them with welfare programs.

There isn't a DAMN thing you can do to help at this point.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... wow. Reminds me of those shitty street rappers who try to hard-sell their stuff to you as you walk by.. no wait they're usually better.

Yeah, record label? Lol. This kid needs to get punched in the life.
 
Can you do the rest of us a favor and stop his seed from being spread at 2? Kick him in the balls really hard for us.

Thx,
 
You're insane. That video's full of awesome and win, and the music's tolerable. If nephew improved his music by 9000%, he still wouldn't be in eyesight of that :^D

yeah, i have to agree. what the OP posted is by far the worst thing I have EVER heard, musical or otherwise. (that includes things like bolts failing and parts flailing off cars..)

it's cool to hate on the hoff and all..but the guy's singing ability is not *that* bad.

He's got a bunch of stuff on Soundcloud, but I don't want to point him out, so here's an MP3 of a sample: Ugghhhh


I tried. I really did. He was with me when I recorded "Doug's Got the Blues" and I showed him how layer tracks, timing, pitch, etc. http://www.reverbnation.com/dougz/song/4295653-dougs-got-the-blues Now I help create a monster.

Dude, he makes Wiz Kalifa's horrible flow sound like 2Pac's, lol. Not to mention he bit Wiz's flow which isn't saying much.

I've heard Shatner singing Rocket Man.
I've heard Starship singing We Built This City
I've heard the Baha Men singing Who Let the Dogs Out
I've heard Vanilla Ice, Air Supply, Hanson and Billy Ray Cyrus

But I've never heard anything as bad as your nephew. If that's a joke it's a good one. If he's being serious and thinks that count as music he needs to be locked up for his own good and for the betterment of all mankind.

Have you heard Leonard Nimoy singing The Legend of Bilbo Baggins?

It would win a Grammy if the only competition was the song Fritzo linked from his nephew. Heck, nails on a blackboard would win if that was the competition.
 
You need to take care of the real problem first.

Cause I know it would take some Rick James level *@#% for someone to convince me to be a part of, and release a quality piece of work like this one.
 
Does he maybe have a serious disability? I don't know what his regular voice sounds like, but his singing voice sounds exactly like some of the kids who had their own special classroom.

Has he been tested?
 
It sounds like he's reading the lyrics at a 1st grade level. Amazingly bad. I should post the joke song some friends and I recorded. It's way better.
 
shoot, wheres the vid where the rapper forgets how old he is? lol

seriously this is some bad shit. I have a friend who keeps hawking his shit over reverbnation but at least some of his co-band members sound pretty decent

1st. Horrible, that's uncontrolled rap noise, not music at all. Did he even stop and listening to this? 😱

2nd. Sounds okay. 🙂

OMG, this is so good....

Don't tell him how bad he is, just let him rap...please, I need more bubblegum rap like this to listen to.
