Go ahead and reply with some more ridiculous bullshit and feel good about yourself for getting in the last word.
I was going to anyway but thanks for the permission.
Nope. Suggesting a game to show you know, or more accurately don't know, makes no sense.
Sooo,...that's a no? You don't want to accept the challenge?
I say you did. You say you didn't. I believe me.
Again you prove my point by not even understanding what he is saying. He's not saying he is all of a sudden a good person. He is essentially saying it's crazy how someone who is like him (a person who does/says the shit he does) has a better "moral compass" than the president. You're trying to say the rap is "bunk" (side note, who says bunk anymore?) and you don't even know what he is saying. That's dumb.
I've already shown that I understand exactly what he's saying. And even if I was wrong, you're not pointing out where I'm wrong. We agree that he's in no position to boast about his moral compass, right? We also agree that he acknowledges it. What I'm saying is that whether Trump's moral compass is stronger or weaker, he's in no position to comment on it. Do we care what Charles Manson thinks of Hitler?
You're proving my point that the real reason you hate the rap is because it makes fun of Trump. If you replace Trump's name with Clinton then you would consider it to be the best rap of all time. Everyone knows that's why you don't like it. There's nothing wrong with admitting it.
That was not your original point. We were initially arguing the actual rap from a stylistic point of view. You said it was good. I said it was bad. Let's have a look at it:
First of all, he calls it a freestyle and it's anything but. But I'm not going to dwell on that. He starts off well. I like the first few rhymes.
That's an awfully hot coffee pot,
Should I drop it on Donald Trump? Prob'ly not,
But that's all I got 'til I come up with a solid plot.
Got a plan and now I gotta hatch it,
Like a damn Apache with a tomahawk,
Now here is where he starts going wack:
But we better give Obama props,
'Cause what we got in office now's a kamikaze,
That'll prob'ly cause a nuclear holocaust,
And while the drama pops,
And he waits for s--- to quiet down, he'll just gas his plane up
And fly around 'til the bombing stops.
The cadence is off and not in sync with the few rhymes he has here. I mean, if he wants to do spoken word poetry that's ok. But raps are supposed to rhyme. Or at least good ones do.
I actually like the next line even though it's kind of nonsensical. Trump's not a rapper so I doubt he'll respond with a battle rap of his own. He may tweet something though.
Intensities heightened, tensions are risin',
Trump, when it comes to givin' a s---, you're stingy as I am,
Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide 'em,
'Cause you don't got the f---ing nuts, like an empty asylum,
Moving on, I do dig the Fantastic Four reference where he ties in the "orange" and "rocks" in an obvious reference to The Thing. I doubt you picked up on that though. But when listening to this part, the flow is weak. The rhymes he wrote here are ok but his cadence doesn't do them any justice. By the time he gets back to the word "quicksand", you've forgotten about "disband" and "withstand". Too choppy.
Racism's the only thing he's fantastic for,
'Cause that's how he gets his f---ing rocks off and he's orange,
Yeah, sick tan,
That's why he wants us to disband,
'Cause he can not withstand,
The fact we're not afraid of Trump,
F--- walkin' on egg shells, I came to stomp,
That's why he keeps screamin', "Drain the swamp!",
'Cause he's in quicksand.
Next is the worst part of the rap. Too many approximate rhymes which is cool in poetry but not in raps - especially in a battle rap where you're trying to sound hard. Backwards, reaction, that, Nevada and rather - none of them rhyme. Just lame.
I
t's like we take a step forwards, then backwards,
But this is his form of distraction,
Plus, he gets an enormous reaction,
When he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that,
Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada,
All these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather,
Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers.
Next part of the rap is equally as bad as again, it doesn't rhyme.
Then says he wants to lower our taxes,
Then who's gonna pay for his extravagant trips,
Back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?
Same s--- that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered,
Again, no rhymes.
T
o try to give those a voice who don't have one,
He says, "You're spittin' in the face of vets who fought for us you bastards,"
Unless you're a POW who's tortured and battered,
'Cause to him, you're zeros,
'Cause he don't like his war heroes captured.
That's not disrespecting the military.
Then the end comes (thankfully). And this is the part where I can comment on the content of the rap. It's simply inaccurate and it's inaccurate in the same way that all the liberal Trump haters are getting it wrong. It's just lazy writing, err, as Marshall calls it, "freestyling."
F--- that! This is for Colin, ball up a fist,
And keep that s--- balled like Donald the b----,
"He's gonna get rid of all immigrants!"
"He's gonna build that thing up taller than this!"
Well, if he does build it, I hope it's rock solid with bricks,
'Cause like him in politics, I'm using all of his tricks,
'Cause I'm throwin' that piece of s--- against the wall 'til it sticks,
And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his,
I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against,
And if you can't decide who you like more and you're split,
On who you should stand beside, I'll do it for you with this: F--- you.
You gave reasons that a person would consider someone to not be a great rapper. Unfortunately they don't describe KL. Your opinion of him is not shared by the vast majority of people in the business who, unlike you, know what they are talking about.
I'd be happy to find some stuff from those in the business that feel the same as I do about KL. Or I can go through and pick apart one of his songs like I did Marshall's if you want. Just ask nicely.
Alright, I'm done with this conversation. Go ahead and reply with some more ridiculous bullshit and feel good about yourself for getting in the last word.
I never
don't feel good about myself. But I especially do when I'm bending you over in a thread about rap music. Nice of you to oblige.
