Brian Wilson's "Smart Girl" rap is terrible in every conceivable way.

I'm pretty comfortable blaming Smart Girls entirely on Gene Landy

xp up to you
i have no secret love for vanilla ice but "havin' a roni" is (maybe for the first time) being unfairly maligned here.

on the other hand:

seeing modern day carter / shaq proportions is very wow

― you are extreme, Patti LuPone. (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:31 (ten years ago)

it's kind of a miracle that Aaron Carter isn't some quasi-criminal drug addict at this point (altho he did file for bankruptcy)

― Οὖτις, Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:32 (ten years ago)

ok I'm cuttin this soulja boy thing off early sorry

― Οὖτις, Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:34 (ten years ago)

not, by and large, a fan of the "lol famous" or "lol nostalgia" tracks on here so i can't be too snide to Mr. T or Hulk Hogan or Ron Artest or Darryl Strawberry.

― you are extreme, Patti LuPone. (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:38 (ten years ago)

that's not even the best rap track off that hulk hogan album (that would be hulk rule's or "I want to be a hulkamaniac")

― Rave Van Donk (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:41 (ten years ago)

I am shocked and appalled at myself by remembering every bit of that Perfect Strangers/Head of the Class commercial.

Although, I am Johnny Fever, so I was in it I guess.

that transformers rap doesn't rhyme in any way

the overwhelming cynicism regarding rap as having any potential qrtistic quality or staying power is retroactively hysterical
