I like the idea of Aficans rapping. Also rapping about normal things you normally just say. Although I have to wonder what his past was like, before America….(I just watched Hotel Rwanda so I’m assuming it was violence and drug-riddled)
some African rap is actually really good. “Githurai” is a song I listen to whenever I get homesick; Githurai is actually a slum in Nairobi and although the chorus is mainly Swahili the song is mostly in English. plus I love the video, it really shows life in Kenya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZiDlZWe8BA
yeah some is totally awful as well, my friend was in a vid for a Tanzanian rapper which is truly dreadful but funny to watch. (she’s the blonde with the longer hair that you see sitting in the pool.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKamyJAK_KQ

I can’t decide if this is a gross misinterpretation of the culture he is emulating or a reinvention?
Best part: You can go to the movies anytime you like, but guess who you’re gonna call.
As if there is a terrible monster guarding the door to the “movie show” and he is a brutal beast slayer.

Brotha Lynch Hung is better.

Easily one of the top 10 Sudanese rappers of all time in my book.

I can’t believe this is stuck in my head. It’s too catchy to resist, good beat and entertaining editing make for some good times.
October 30th, 2009 - 02:08
I am also in favour of rapping about otherwise mundane things. In fact, I almost completely unironically loved this.
Take me to the movies!

If you pause it while he goes “Mooooo-Ooo-Oo-Vies”. His mouth looks exactly like a gaping asshole in anal porn. Yellow box that image from your head.

So I can rap better than a black person? Marking this on the calendar for sure.
October 30th, 2009 - 19:04
fix the tags, sheesh.
October 30th, 2009 - 19:15
2:16 is the best part, by far

These African Americans dont know how to rap these days.
October 30th, 2009 - 20:42
Take you to the movies yes alright something something something…

Once again, I think ‘NIGGER BONERS’ belongs here. Maybe it’s because I like the tag so much, I don’t know.
Anyway, now that song is stuck in my head. Thanks. Just what I needed while playing Uncharted 2.

Agree! I second the motion for ‘NIGGER BONERS’ as a tag.

My favorite dance move of all time: I’m popping a U-turn.

I don’t think utting the rhyme “I never lie” after “I come from the sky” is a wise choice.

I love how innocent this guy is, all of his songs are about having a good non-sexual time without any kind of violence. He’s just a nice sweet guy.

Where’s Lola? I came here to ask her to the mooovvvvies. Lola, let’s go to the moooovvvvies. I got the popcorn, and I know wut else you like.

I’m flattered. I’m sure later on I will be your bay-bee.
