    I don't think it's going to translate to radio--which is what put Eminem over the top.


    Seems like Mickey Avalon was this kid but more entertaining, no?

    He sounds like he's bored! Can I get a little excitement? It's like he's rapping off a teleprompter.

    I'm bored. I was hoping for something like a MC Paul Barman, but this is neither funny, clever nor particularly interesting.

    White guys have legitimately mastered jazz and blues but rap may be the fist black art form that cannot be co-opted by pasty white boys.

    @musicandorchids: I don't know why Slug didn't ever get bigger. He's talented and attractive (if you don't believe me, go to one of his shows--they're overwhelmingly filled with chicks, which is rare for a crunchy hip-hop show). It pisses me off because fucks like this guy get mainstream play but folks like Slug or Aesop Rock get nothin'. Although I can see why Aesop Rock isn't more mainstream. He uses way too many polysyllabic words.

    The Family Guy comparison was pretty apt. And if you want more semi-talented white rappers talking about the suburbs and making pithy observations, there is always Brawdcast. He may be even more blah than Roth. Grouch from Living Legends on the other hand... that's good shit.

    He's ok. He's not really rapping about anything important, not a lot of wit either. I don't know how he's going to sell 300,000 copies in the first week.

    Constantly calling Moby "annoying" is getting annoying. I think he's a very genuine, unpretentious musician, and, yes, I like his music.

    It must be nice to be entirely without self-awareness, and to have no friends who will tell you when you are making an ass of yourself.
    You can get away with so much annoying garbage.

    I'm just confused. Is that supposed to be....funny? Is that what they were going for? It would seem so but simple logic is telling me that a normal functioning adult would not find that funny. so????

    Hipsters are just jealous of the cheesiness the rest of us are ashamed of having participated in. And by us I mean "us olds".
