My iTunes list is, to be frank, embarrassing. It's crammed with bad 90's tunes, sixties party mixes and glee songs. Well, that and racy audio fictions with lots of guy on guy action. So sue me! I need something interesting to listen to when I'm doing the housework, and nothing speeds the vacuuming up like a little homoerotic rumpty pumpty. We're living in the Fifty Shade era, people!
But of all the musical genres out there, the one that I usually try to steer clear of is rap. I just don't get it. It's people ... talking really fast ... with music in the background. Yeah, just not getting it.
But even I had to be impressed by this guy. As someone who regularly records audio books, I have a hard enough time getting the words out at a normal rate and I get the luxury of being able to stop and start as I need to ... I have no idea how this kid manages it!
Kudos dude, I'm impressed.
He's quick for a little white boy! You go little white boy!!
ReplyDeleteHe's committed, you gotta admire him!
DeleteHe's adorable! At first I thought maybe he sped up the video, but when you see the cat in the background, he clearly didn't. Pretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou record audio books? How cool!
I do, and believe me it's quite a process. But I really enjoy it, and being someone who listens to them, I know how much it means to people to have someone willing to record the long ones which I do.
DeletePlus he loves cats! The perfect man.
ReplyDeleteI love how he didn't even pause, he just started stroking the cat, then incorporated it into the song.
DeleteI'm not a rap lover either. . . BUT I do love disco!! Ya baby!!
ReplyDeleteI love a bit of disco too! Bee Gees!!!
DeleteIsn't he amazing? I love youtube, specifically because you get to find things like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to be the lone voice of dissension. I love rap. It usually involves more of a flow. His "talking really fast" misses the musicality of the flow of poetry (which is what good rap is). Just like recording audio books (way cool by the way) isn't just reading out loud.
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay, I'll take my purist hat off because that is cute.
It's the nerd of my dreams!
ReplyDeleteI know another genre of music you wouldn't like. Noise music. It's real. It's terrifying. It's what I listen to before I go to sleep.
