Title
Half-Assed Rapper
So there I was, driving around northern New Jersey, listening to a New York radio station, and I was absolutely shocked by what passes for Hip Hop these days. Most of the rappers I heard sounded like they weren't even trying. They sounded like they just rolled out of bed, stumbled into the studio, mumbled a few lines, then went back to bed. I began amusing myself by mocking them. After I came up with the half-assedly sung chorus I realized I had a song to write. This is the end result. Enjoy!

Seriously, one of my favorites of your recent tracks. Really funny lines here. Loved this one.

Wachovia is now Wells Fargo, but that wouldn't rhyme. Well, I guess that wouldn't matter in this song. 8^) Great job of intentionally doing a bad job!!

Devo, your sense of rhythm is too strong. You weren't off beat like you said. :)

Boy, between you and Patton it's officially "Get off my lawn" Week. {laugh} Seriously, though, modern rap sucks.

Ugh. Bad enough to air on radio. This could actually work as an act. Rapper whose persona is that he's too cool to give a shit about what he produces. Fans would admire that his attitude is "F the label!"
Only chumps sweat over a rhyme
Only chumps be at the studio on time
I don't bow down to no record exec
Give a shit? Yo, that's too much to expeck

Just a heads up, I used this song in my podcast. I gave both your name and website in the show and release notes, and gave the Fump a shout out as well. If you want to give a listen here is the address (the January 1, 2011 episode has your song in it): http://beyondradio.libsyn.com/january-1-2011

Okay, well, it is what its meant to be, unfortunately that's what rap and hip hop (a once fresh genre) has become. . .so good satire!
