[DON'T YOU DARE LAUGH]

Posting this is actually a sensitive thing for me, and I almost didn't do it.

Actually, since I refuse to put the video up, I'll explain it. Floating about around the internet is a video titled Worst Rap Battle Ever. The video itself isn't about the rap battle, it actually centers around one of the contestants, Eli Porter, who appears to have some sort of mental/physical illness. Eli has become such a roaring source of comedy that he was even mentioned on VH1's Best Week Ever. During the video, Eli is often criticized on his facial expression and when he abruptly stops mid-rap. Obviously in rap battles, it's difficult to remain consistent, keep with the beat, and spit out material that rhymes as well sounds good, but people are largely critical in this circumstance because of his handicap. That is ugly, and I hate it. That's someones child. He could be your cousin, your brother, your nephew, your son. How can you laugh at him for actually having the courage to go on national television and show just how much potential he has? I was also one of the many who has laughed. I'm so sorry, Eli.

OK. Now I think I'll put the video up.

Comparing the rhymes, I feel Eli should have won. Although Envy definitely squeezed in many rhymes, Eli obviously has a better ear for rhythm. Although he stumbled over himself at times, his ability to keep with the beat kept it fresh and easy to follow. Also, I didn't find Envy's raps glossy, nothing really shined. Eli's raps however stood out vividly with his dis' making me laugh with a surprising intensity. Quality over quantity I say. Re-Vote!

[I AM IN LOVE]

Carl's Jr. always has a commercial every now and then that has my eyes glued to the screen. This is that time. Their latest commercial, "Bull Ride," for the Western Bacon Six Dollar Burger is the best commercial of theirs I have ever seen.

The way she smiles at the camera with such a confident grin and the dimples on her lower back drive me nuts. Those are the two things I absolutely love.

And who can forget their Flat Buns commercial?

[OOOOOOOkk...]
It's been over two months since my last post! What's up with that???


A friend of mine made this as a video response to KARAOKE by brookiecookiex3 on YouTube. To sum it up, it's pretty much hillarious.

The good news: Over these past two months, I've come across some music and really got into Screamo.

Esterlyn - We all need [album]

Underoath - It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door [album]
Showbread - Mouth Like a Magazine [album]


Try us!:

Also, if you like A capella, you might want to give the Princeton Roaring 20 a try. Simply amazing.

[GIRL LIKE A TIGER]

Wowww.

This music is not for everyone, I'll say that right now, but for those cool kids who faithfully keep their ears tuned in for new sounds this may be worth a listen. Tigarah (born 1982 in Tokyo, Japan), is a Japanese Baile Funk emcee whose music contains elements of Grime, Crunk, and Baltimore Club.[1] My favorite track, among the index of other songs on her website, is The Game in Rio (feat. Julia Albert).


Lets see if you remember these tunes:

Maroon 5 - Sunday Morning

-TLC - Creep
-Lily Allen - Alfie
-Switchfoot - Meant To Live
-Usher - You Make Me Wanna
-David Usher (lol) - Black Black Heart

Well, today is my first day of classes, so I'll finish this later.
I decided to leave this as a post in its entirety. [2.10.08]
