If you like that one, you’ll love [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMft3Ha6PbI&feature=channel&list=UL) - and there’s plenty more where that came from! I guess it’s Eminem’s fault for making it look so easy. ---

“Melki, get off that damn fence and get your butt over here! This dry wall ain’t gonna hang itself.” “Sorry, boss. Can my cousin stick around? We rented the camera for the whole day.” “Fine, just no rapping while I’m here. We talked about that. I don’t know why I let your uncle talk me into hiring you.” ---

I wouldn’t be too hard on this guy: It’s a pretty big achievement to create a song when you’ve obviously never heard one before. ---

1. The RAED Appreciation Society has 584 members on Facebook. 2. Raed’s musings on his Facebook page are pure poetry and in no way resemble the ramblings of a deluded, semi-literate halfwit. ---

He isn’t kidding. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMft3Ha6PbI?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=UL I find this one really emotionally compelling. When he raps, “Aint waste no time ain’t got no tima wais / Canya tell I ayna sploh a shi an evvy day / So many Moe waffles suh moffa bull / An I doe wah stress ommana,” it really speaks to me. ---

Oh… oh… I feel so bad for hating it. This man is so courageous for posting rap videos on youtube to help him take his mind off that stroke. Er… he DID have a stroke, right?
