I was reading some of my old blog entries when I found a link to this. Brought back wonderful memories of watching this in 7th grade. Quite possibly the most unintentionally funny video ever produced.

I thought it was interesting to see Jeff Gordon and Queen Latifa in their earlier days.
I also want my 10 minutes back 🙂

Oh God, the pain. The pain of it all!
And I thought Neverwinter Nights had better graphics than that?

I remember the days of “educational rap”…my mom bought me the “Multiplication Rap” tape when I was in 3rd grade. That was scary.

I like the part where they’re talking about “all the people” that go into making a video game.
If I recall (I don’t want to watch that drivel again), the one dude says something along the lines of “By the time a game is done, nearly a dozen people have worked on it.”
Ah, the old days.

Right.

Yo! Yo! Yo!
I’m MC Inky with a message of fact
That peer-to-peer swapping is crazy-ass wack!
Sure it seems hamless file-swapping on Kazaa
But do you really wanna’ see Brittany Spears sellin’ blood plasma?
You see, not paying for music is killing the industry
All that bling puffy wears? Gold painted of macaroni!
Sure it sees popstars are swimming in green
But really Justin Timberlakes hustling blowjobs for protein!
(Beatbox breakdown)
Yo!
Sure you complain that a CD that costs 37¢ to make-up
sells for sixteen dollars – a 230% mark-up
Thay deserve more money cause thay dance and sing
Yep, popstars have lifestyles that need subsidizin’
Word!

Oh man, I read the thread title as “1 out of 1 **rapers** agree…”
Yeah. It’s 11:48 and I’m sleepy.
