Things that are bad about this video:
1) The rapping is pretty craptacular
2) That yahoo was the 2nd search engine
3) The surprising enthusiasm of the crowd
4) The amount of time and money spent for sheer production value of their costumes
5) I watched it

Well, what were you expecting, the second coming of Tupac? This is like complaining that you don't like Weird Al because his songs sound too much like other songs.

seriously, sit down and really listen to Tupac sometime. He was fucking awful. No flow at all.

btw, for your reference:
good rapping = internal rhymes and flows rhythmically.
bad fake white people rapping= awkwardly semi-rhythmic, rhymes at ends of the lines only. Belies condescending attitude that "it's just talking, anyone can do it."

-I'm sorry, anyone engaging in a rap battle should be halfway decent. Practice in the mirror about 5,000 times and get the overwhelming approval of your hater friends, before ever subjecting yourself to public shame.
-Tupac could rap dude. You see seem to like guys who have superior flow which is cool, but to dismiss the other side of rapping is borderline reconkulus. The other half or rap being a sense of diction and distinctive voice. I've known plenty of dudes who could flow, but had absolutely no energy or distinction to their voice.
-and that was Tupac's strong suit. His guttural, yet effortless voice came across crystal clear and the man could annunciate his intent with every word.
-sergent sandwich is right! (I'm so glad I just got to write that, I'm going to start saying that all the time by the way). TUPAC was unfathomably successful for a very good reason.

TUPAC was unfathomably successful for a very good reason.
MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, and Sean Puffy Diddly Combs have all had unfathomably successful rap careers. Was there a good reason for them?
I don't know what the fuck adds up to being the greatest rapper, but I've never heard satisfactory conditions for it. Even if someone did come up with some kind of valid subjective measurements, I still don't think Biggie or Tupac would fairly garner that title. Whatevs.
Anyways, I enjoyed the corny links!
