So then, no topic summary, not commentary, just a non-formatted link.

Doing well so far!

After you hit "add your reply" notice the link called format text, post links and images. It's located along the top of the thread summary. It should tell you all you need to know.

I'd rather drink seven pints of someone else' year old diarrhoea than link to that myspace profile again. That guy's a trainwreck on the mic, truly atrocious.

Seth.. I don't think the guy is trying to be Rakim. He's a white guy doing intentionally dorky raps about D&D. I think his lack of flow skills is perfectlly acceptable when he has a song where he lures girls to his house with promises of "Funyuns and Mountian Dew", and "a joint that i stole from my brothers room".

Now, if you're going to go down the Dark Path of Comedy Rap, you certainly don't need to be the world's most gifted MC, but you should have at least some idea of what hip hop actually sounds like, and you should have put at least some thought and effort into your "rapping".

Say what you will about Morris Minor & the Majors, or those jerks who did that awful "Lazy Sunday" sketch, but at least they seem to have listened to a few hip hop records before they recorded their own.

This guy's rhymes are appalling, and the "comedy" of his work seems to rest entirely on the fact that he's a white geek rapping badly about a white geek subject, which is apparently supposed to be intrinsically funny.

According to my calender, it's now 2006. What is funny about some idiot deliberately rapping poorly in this day and age. What's he going to do next? Make fun of beatniks?

Yeah, one of the funny things about Lazy Sunday was Chris Parnell spittin' like Chuck D. Also Natalie Portman's sketch was less funny because she had no flow.

Warren Ellis is a classically trained violinist who plays with Nick Cave (they recently did the soundtrack to the proposition).

There is also some comic dude with the same name. :0
