This post was deleted for the following reason: Eesh, the "Black music but it's white people" thing is pretty fraught at best and the weird anti-Asian shit in latter part of that flash animation video is outright awful. I feel you on the fun goofy music instinct but this ain't it. -- cortex

I find it pretty racist, personally.

In the brief window before this gets pulled, I would like to refer you to lkc's 2012 comment about Ice Cube's tectonic cultural impact, which should give you a sense of why his oeuvre deserves better than this.

I was all excited to rewatch that flash animation I hadn't seen since I was a kid, and then the middle part showed up, and oof.

I like the whole "covering X genre song in Y genre" thing (not limited to rap), though. I've been linked to There I Ruined It a few times.

So we have two racist videos here- one of the “oh isn’t it droll when WHITE people recite these angry rap lyrics” variety and one of the “Chinese people are at fault for spreading disease (in this case, SARS)”variety, complete with stereotypical and racist imagery. I already used up my report button because I have no chill but I sure would like to see this taken down.
